Please describe the publication's mission and readership:
Insurance Journal magazine serves the property/casualty insurance industry's leading independent insurance agencies, which are small and mid-sized businesses, independently-owned, that sell all types of personal and commercial property/casualty insurance from multiple insurance carriers. Insurance Journal's 42,000 subscribers are the owners, principals, producers and managers of these agencies in small towns and big cities across the country. Insurance Journal strives to help them be better insurance professionals, business leaders, client advocates and citizens by giving them information and resources they can use every day. Insurance Journal keeps them informed about key developments in this heavily-regulated and competitive industry. Its staff -written articles cover current economic, regulatory, legal, product and marketplace news and events. It also provides peer-contributed analysis and advice on markets, management, sales, competition, best practices, technology and more.
Please describe the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:
Insurance Journal conducts several surveys of its property/casualty insurance independent agency readers and none is more in-depth or appreciated than its annual salary survey. It has become the most comprehensive look at who earns what in agencies across the country-- from owners to producers to customer service reps. It goes beyond salaries, commissions, bonuses and benefits to gauge how employees are feeling about their jobs, employers, managers and futures. This year editor Andrea Wells dug through the results and found that, despite rising compensation, the survey revealed that many employees are not happy. She developed that finding into a fascinating feature that resonated with all generations of agency personnel on how money isn't everything when it comes to job satisfaction.
