According to NABR, “Only companies that distinguish themselves as having the most innovative and thoughtful human resources approach can be bestowed this honor.” This year, Origami Risk once again is being recognized specifically for its operations in Chicago, where it is headquartered, and Atlanta, one of its largest regional offices.

“We’re honored to continue to be recognized for our exceptional colleagues and work culture,” said Robert Petrie, CEO, Origami Risk. “Our approach at Origami is to hire, train and nurture talented and highly motivated colleagues, and to give them the support they need to hone their skills and deliver outstanding service to our valued clients.”

Jennifer Kluge, president and CEO of MBPA remarked: “Profitability and stability is essential for businesses in today’s economic climate. Companies that recognize that their employees are the key to their success achieve staying power. Our 2017 winners create their human resource standards to ensure employee satisfaction and they set standards for every business to aspire toward,” She added: “We are proud to honor this year’s winners.”
