Silberstein Insurance Group (SIG) has been honored as a finalist in the Baltimore's Best Places to Work contest managed by the Baltimore Business Journal.

SIG strives to make its employees feel like part of a family. It conducts frequent internal surveys to gauge employees' opinions and feelings on certain topics and programs then uses their responses to make changes accordingly. Additionally, employees enjoy internal as well as offsite company-sponsored events, casual dress, healthy snacks, and shortened summer Friday schedules.

Richard Silberstein, SIG President, said, "We are very pleased that our employees consider SIG one of the best places to work in Greater Baltimore. Our management team works hard to create an open and inclusive environment where everyone is valued and feels like an important member of the team."

This nomination comes on the heels of the company's recognition for its dedication in helping its employees become and stay healthier by being named Baltimore's Healthiest Employer by the Baltimore Business Journal in June.
