In this edition of Insurance Business TV, IB sat down with Tricia Kopka, head of operations at IQumulate Premium Funding, to discuss the company’s recognition as one of the Top Insurance Employers for the third consecutive year. The accolade highlights IQumulate’s commitment to fostering a supportive and innovative work environment for its employees.
At the heart of IQumulate’s success is a strong focus on clear communication and strategy. “We have a very clear strategy. The team knows what we're aiming to achieve, and they understand their part in it,” Kopka explained. This transparent approach helps employees stay aligned with company goals while also focusing on personal development.
IQumulate is also known for its employee-first initiatives, such as the “Love Your Work” award day, which grants employees an extra day off in recognition of their hard work. “Everyone gets an additional day off, and that goes down very well,” Kopka shared. The company’s “Take Five” initiative, where employees earn an extra five days of leave if they use their full vacation time, is another example of how IQumulate encourages a healthy work-life balance.
In addition to these perks, IQumulate offers a hybrid working model that blends two days in the office with three days of remote work. This approach allows employees to maintain personal flexibility while benefiting from in-person collaboration and training. “We’ve found that our hybrid model strikes the right balance,” Kopka noted, adding that the company had embraced flexibility even before the pandemic.
Looking forward, Kopka emphasized the importance of continuous improvement, both for the company and its employees. “Our mantra is, do it better. We focus on helping employees grow not just in their current roles, but for their future aspirations as well.”
