Ansay Named Insurance Journal's “Best Agency to Work For” for the Second Year in a Row

Port Washington, WI — For the second consecutive year, Insurance Journal has named Ansay & Associates “Best Agency to Work For,” awarding us the Silver Award for the Midwest Region. This honor reflects our long-standing belief that great businesses are built through people, relationships, and a culture of giving back.

Founded in 1946 by Adolph Ansay, our company was built on a simple philosophy: “You have to give to get.” This guiding principle has shaped Ansay & Associates for nearly eight decades, reminding every generation that success begins by giving time, effort, and care to others. From our beginnings serving local Wisconsin families to becoming one of the Midwest’s leading independent agencies, that same spirit of service continues to define who we are today.

Our CEO, Mike Ansay, describes our unique company culture best: “Put people first, and everything else follows.”

At Ansay & Associates, company culture is built through daily actions. We focus on encouraging personal and professional growth, supporting mental and physical health, and promoting community involvement across all levels of the company. Recently, our Port Washington region gathered for a monthly check-in that included a wellness activity where employees created their own essential oil roll-ons—a simple way to promote mindfulness.

Through Ansay University’s Learning Labs, we also foster continuous growth with short, focused sessions designed to strengthen professional development and keep employees engaged with the latest industry trends. Employees describe Ansay & Associates as “one of the most innovative and people-centric agencies out there,” citing supportive leadership, innovative practices, and a commitment to work-life balance.

We want to extend a much-deserved thank you to all of our incredible employees for their dedication, hard work, and commitment to the Ansay Way! As Mike Ansay put it, “There’s no better compliment than one that comes from within.”

We celebrate this back-to-back recognition by remaining focused on the values that have guided us for nearly 80 years: service, integrity, and a people-first approach.
