We'll be updating this page monthly with job postings and descriptions for each office; plus we'll feature the teams and managers that are hiring so you can decide if you're a fit with their culture. You'll also learn how to earn money with referrals, and managers will weigh in on professional trends and topics, while HR shares their top-notch advice for your career growth.

 
Our employee referral reward program just doubled

Now earn even more money by referring someone to work at our company full-time with our employee referral reward program. Depending on your friend’s pay grade, you can now earn $500, $1,000 or $2,000 for referring someone who becomes a permanent employee. Keep in mind, you can’t refer someone who will report to you, and rewards cannot be given for referring part-time (30 hours or less) or temporary employees, unless otherwise noted by management.

  1. Tell your friend to name you as their referral source on their application or new hire paperwork.
  2. Fill out the Referral Reward Form and have your friend’s new supervisor sign it; then submit to your HR payroll manager AFTER your friend has successfully completed at least 90 days of employment (but no more than 180 days).
  3. Take your check to the bank and say, "Cha-ching!"

 


Managers weigh in

This section of our Jobs 101 page is where our management team will share their insights to help you be your best professional self. We'll switch up the topics every month, so check back in on a regular basis to see what tips our leadership team is sharing.

Novembers's topic: peer recognition 

In October, Jamie Cox, a commercial lines service manager with our Automotive Aftermarket Program in our Overland Park office, shared four simple techniques that leaders can use to engage their team and help boost morale. One of the key concepts she discussed was recognition. In her November guest blog, she shows the importance of employees recognizing each other. Check out her latest topic of peer recognition and see if her idea helps trigger new ways for your department to work on its team dynamic.

Annual reviews - processes and best practices

Every year, our HR team sends out annual review forms and instructions toward the end of November to managers and supervisors, with everything due back to them by early to mid-January. The review forms are based on a point system.

Even though an annual review is mandatory and audited by Brown & Brown, HR suggests managers meet on a more regular basis with their team. "Some people really do appreciate this constructive feedback," noted Mary Trevithick, Arrowhead's director of human resources. "It's discretionary per supervisor, but the benefits of meeting on a monthly or quarterly basis, even for employees who are performing above average, is a great way to avoid surprises during the annual review at the end of the year.”

The HR team agreed our existing review forms are ready for a makeover, and although there hasn't been time this year to devote to a new process, they are hoping to have an online system available to employees and supervisors in the future. "If anyone knows of a system that other companies are using, by all means send it our way," Mary said.
