Why should agencies care about professional awards?

Nominations are currently open for the 2023 Agency of the Year awards.

The three winners of this award are leading independent agencies in the U.S. demonstrating strength in their variety of business.

Everyone loves a good pat on the back for a job well done, but is there more of a benefit to professional awards than just a little serotonin boost?

Professional recognition can lead to a boost in brand awareness within the industry – thanks to plenty of free publicity – and lend authority to newer agencies. Sharing news of an accolade makes an immediate positive impression on those searching online for more information about your business and can lead to an increase in profitability.

According to Best Business Awards, award-winning small and large businesses alike often see a boost in both income and sales.

Professional awards can also offer an edge for agencies competing for top talent in a tough hiring market. Earning recognition for your company’s excellence makes it more attractive to candidates looking to become part of an exceptional organization.

Winning an award as a team can also do wonders for employee morale, as it allows your organization a chance to recognize and celebrate your collective efforts. Putting together applications for professional awards – regardless of whether you win – also allows you to reflect on your agency’s accomplishments and goals.

If you believe your independent agency shines above others, the editors of NU Property & Casualty magazine, Claims magazine and PropertyCasualty360.com welcome you to submit your nomination for the 2023 Agency of the Year award.
