MERRILL, Wis. – Over the past few years, Church Mutual Insurance Company, S.I. (a stock insurer) 1, has evolved its culture and redefined what the company and its employees stand for. That hard work has paid off with national recognition. Church Mutual is one of just two companies in the U.S. chosen to receive the 2021 Gallup Culture Transformation Award.



“Our employees’ honesty, dedication and commitment to Church Mutual provide the bricks and mortar for our strong culture,” said Rich Poirier, president and CEO. “We developed our ‘Stand for Good’ values and culture based on employee input regarding our current state as well as their vision for the future. These efforts make our culture truly unique to us. That’s why our cultural evolution has been so well received.”


According to Gallup, winners of the Culture Transformation Award live out their culture daily and create a shared, sustainable vision for success with measurable effects for their employees and business.


For Church Mutual, this means incorporating the values that ring true to all employees – recognizing customers are the company, being powered by purpose, acting with honor, being courageous and bold – and placing them at the forefront of everything they do. This helps employees connect the values and culture to the work they do every day.


“Ultimately, we stress that everyone owns our culture and values,” said Poirier. “They define us and drive us forward cohesively.”
