ALTHOUGH NONE OF the 22 fulltime employees—plus three interns—that make up the IT department at Celina Insurance Group are remote workers, Rob Shoenfelt, senior vice president and CIO at Celina, believes strongly that such an option is important for companies that operate in small communities such as Celina, Ohio (population, 10,400).
As a small property & casualty carrier, Celina has to do everything it can to find talent.
"There are advantages to moving to Columbus or Cincinnati or Cleveland (all within a few hours' drive of Celina), but there are advantages of living in Mercer County, Ohio," says Shoenfelt. "We've been able to attract pretty bright people that otherwise would have had to go somewhere else. We are the biggest white-collar employer in town."
