Beacon Mutual Makes PBN Best Place to Work Large Employer Category— Three Years in a Row

Warwick, R.I. – We’re honored. We’re grateful.  For the third consecutive year, Beacon Mutual has been named the #1 Best Place to Work in Rhode Island in the Large Employer category by Providence Business News. This distinction is a direct reflection of the culture we’ve built together—one rooted in respect, collaboration, and a shared mission to protect and support Rhode Island businesses and their workers.

The Providence Business News Best Places to Work program—now in its 20th year—is one of Rhode Island’s most respected workplace honors. Each spring, Best Companies Group partners with PBN to carefully evaluate organizations across four size categories.

Here’s how it works:

  • Employee Surveys: Confidential responses from staff provide insights on engagement, satisfaction, leadership, and culture.

  • HR & Policy Review: An independent assessment examines each company’s benefits, programs, policies, and workplace demographics.

  • Final Scoring: Composite results from the survey data and policy review determine the overall rankings

Beacon Mutual: A Culture Where People Come First

“Creating a workplace where people feel supported, inspired, and empowered has always been a top priority for us,” said Brian J. Spero, President and CEO of Beacon Mutual. “To be recognized once again by PBN—and by our own employees—shows that our values aren’t just written on the walls; they’re lived out every day.”

Beacon’s ranking is based on anonymous feedback from employees combined with an independent evaluation of workplace practices, benefits, and culture. As we continue to evolve and grow, we remain committed to putting people first—whether it’s our team, our policyholders, or the communities we serve. We are committed to focusing on what matters most!

"Beacon is a truly exceptional workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and empowered to grow. Beacon maintains a culture that prioritizes employee well-being, collaboration, and engagement. We go beyond just offering a job, we provide an environment where individuals can thrive and feel a sense of belonging. It is this commitment to employees that makes Beacon a best place to work," said Shannon Broadbent, Vice President of Human Resources.

To our dedicated employees: thank you. This three-peat achievement belongs to you.
