HAI Group has been recognized by PropertyCasualty360 with the 2026 Insurance Luminaries Award for Excellence in Workplace Culture.
The award recognizes insurance organizations that create exceptional workplaces by balancing business performance with a people-first culture. During the awards presentation, organizers highlighted the importance of combining rigorous risk management with empathy, flexibility, innovation, and transparent communication, qualities that are reflected throughout HAI Group's culture.
What are the Insurance Luminaries Awards?
The PropertyCasualty360 Insurance Luminaries Awards celebrate organizations and individuals making a meaningful impact across the property and casualty insurance industry. The program recognizes achievements across multiple categories, including leadership, innovation, community impact, and workplace culture, honoring those who are helping shape the future of the industry.
Nominees are evaluated by an independent panel of judges based on leadership, innovation, and measurable contributions. Winners are recognized during the annual Insurance Luminaries Awards ceremony, which this year brought together insurance leaders from across the country to Chicago on June 24.
HAI Group was honored with the Excellence in Workplace Culture Award, recognizing the company's commitment to fostering an environment where employees are supported, engaged, and empowered to succeed.
A workplace built around people
Workplace culture is about more than employee benefits: it is about creating an environment where people feel valued, supported, and connected to a shared mission of serving public and affordable housing organizations.
That commitment is reflected at HAI Group in opportunities for professional development, flexible work arrangements, employee wellness initiatives, volunteer programs, paid volunteer time, and a collaborative workplace where employees are encouraged to share ideas, grow their careers, and make a meaningful impact.
"Receiving this award is an honor because it recognizes the culture our employees have built together," said Troy LePage, chief operating officer and executive vice president at HAI Group, who accepted the award on behalf of the organization. "We believe that when employees feel supported, empowered, and connected to a shared purpose, they can do their best work for our members. This recognition belongs to every member of the HAI Group team."
By investing in its people, HAI Group strengthens its ability to deliver exceptional service, trusted expertise, and innovative solutions for the public and affordable housing organizations it serves.
A culture that drives meaningful impact
The Excellence in Workplace Culture Award recognizes more than employee programs and benefits; it reflects a workplace where employee experience is viewed as a strategic investment that supports innovation, collaboration, and long-term success. That philosophy has helped HAI Group earn repeated recognition as a national and Connecticut Top Workplace, along with multiple Culture Excellence Awards based on employee feedback in areas including leadership, values, innovation, work-life balance, and employee experience.
The company also invests in career growth through internship opportunities, job shadowing, internal development programs, and cross-functional collaboration, helping employees expand their skills while building stronger connections across the business.
Community involvement is another defining part of the organization's culture. Employees receive paid volunteer time and regularly support local nonprofits through service projects and fundraising efforts. Employee-led initiatives, including the company's volunteer garden, have donated hundreds of pounds of fresh produce to local food pantries, demonstrating a commitment to giving back that extends beyond the workplace.
Whether employees are supporting housing organizations after a property loss, providing risk management guidance, developing educational programs, or volunteering in their communities, they share a common purpose: helping members protect and preserve affordable housing.
