Carl Warren & Company Honored for Excellence in “Employee Ownership” Communications

The AACE Awards are sponsored each year by the Association to recognize the outstanding communications and educational programs of its members.  The awards are presented each May at the Association’s Annual Conference in Washington, DC to companies who have excelled in communicating the ESOP (employee stock ownership plan) and its meaning to the company’s employees and other constituents.

Carl Warren & Company is a California based employee-owned third party administrator with approximately 40 locations strategically placed across the country enabling it to focus on the fair, efficient, and responsive resolution and administration of claims. Providing “gold level claim service” to a broad range of public entities, carriers and private companies across the nation since 1944, and the winner of several ESOP awards, the company is known for its claims excellence and industry leadership in general liability, auto, workers’ compensation and other lines of business. It was also voted California / Western States ESOP Chapter 2012-13 Company of the Year and one of the top companies to work for by Business Insurance and by OC Metro Magazine in 2010.

“We are pleased to have been selected for a 2013 AACE Award, especially in this category by The ESOP Association,” commented Rich McAbee, AVP and Director of New Business Development.  “We are proud to be an ESOP company, strongly believe in the power of employee ownership and share that belief with all our employee-owners,” stated Tom Boylan, Chief Operating Officer of the company.

“The AACE is a great motivator for our employee-owners, especially those of us who came over during the NovaPro transaction, to take time from our day to participate in company encouraged activities while always delivering gold level claim service to our customers,” stated Glenn Betts, National Director of Workers’ Compensation.

AACE Award winners are chosen by a panel of five judges made up of both management and non-management employee owners, each of whom has demonstrated active experience and interest in the field of ESOPs and employee ownership communications.  Awards are based on overall quality and quantity of employee owner education, contributions of employee owners, integration of the ESOP into company culture, frequency of ownership communications, involvement and/or response of employee owners, encouragement of ownership attitudes, clear explanations, creative ideas, graphic design, and technical quality.

The ESOP Association represents approximately 1,400 ESOP companies who believe that employee ownership will improve American competitiveness, increase productivity through greater employee participation and strengthen our free enterprise economy.
