Plymouth Rock Assurance Spain

In just 35 years, Plymouth Rock Assurance has grown to be one of the leading auto and home insurance companies in the Northeast. From our culture to our coworkers, Plymouth Rock employees reflect on what makes them proud of where they work.

In 1982, Jim Stone, former insurance commissioner for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, had a vision for the future.

He would form a new kind of auto insurance company - one that would:

•  Define a new, higher standard of customer service for the industry;
• Establish deeper, more productive relationships with its independent agents;
• Provide an unusually rewarding workplace for creative, empowered employees; and
• Develop a new generation of technological and analytical tools for every aspect of the business.

Today, Plymouth Rock Assurance is a thriving business that takes pride in delivering more than just insurance — we deliver the added assurance of great value, ease, service and innovation.

Plymouth Rock Assurance is a member of The Plymouth Rock Group of Companies which together write and manage over $1 billion in annual automobile and homeowners’ insurance premiums. Plymouth Rock Assurance is rated "A-/Excellent" for financial strength by the A.M. Best Company.

  To deliver premium claim services that would make our customers’ lives easier when they need us most.

Our Company admires friendliness, good citizenship, integrity, loyalty, hard work, and the pursuit of excellence.

 Here are some suggestions we want to call to the attention of all new employees as they learn our culture.  

Put Service First

Our approach to business requires that we attract and keep the best agents and the best customers. We deserve to get the best business only if we offer the most in return. This takes a zealous commitment to service. We should aim to be better at service than anyone else in our business, and to be known for that above all else.

Do It Now

Unnecessary delay is anathema to excellence. Backlogs are much harder to cure than to prevent. There is nothing wrong with getting help to prevent a backlog; there is no heroism in facing a backlog alone. A sense of urgency underscores our commitment to quality.

Be Friendly

We spend nearly half our waking hours at work. Our jobs should not only offer satisfaction from the technical work, but also a sense of companionship with our co-workers. Someone who does every technical assignment perfectly but doesn’t contribute to the happiness of others has done only half the job right. 

Maintain Our Workplace

Messy spaces create stress. Everyone feels better when the environment is orderly and calm.  So, be attentive to the appearance of the office. Each of us should feel responsible for all visible spaces.  Our offices should look at every moment as though we were about to show them off to an important visitor.

Call Attention to Problems

We all feel overwhelmed by our assignments from time to time.  Call for help when these situations arise. When a co-worker is struggling, always offer help and then make sure the problem gets solved, even if this requires finding someone higher up to fix whatever is wrong. We should all have a sense of responsibility for any problem we see and stay with it until it is resolved.

Seek Constant Improvement

Everything we do at work can be improved upon. Everyone is invited to suggest ways to streamline existing procedures and get rid of unnecessary, boring tasks. We should always be receptive to new technologies and improved approaches. 

Treat People with Respect

Everyone deserves to be treated with respect, especially when working together toward a common success. It is disrespectful to refuse to listen to someone else’s views or to fall prey to hateful biases and prejudices. Our goal is always to treat people with courtesy, civility, and kindness. Mutual respect creates increased job satisfaction, longer tenures, and greater effectiveness.

Communicate About Worries

A job is a relationship between an employee and a company, and as is the case with all human relationships, no one should expect it to be perfect. When an employee feels that something has gone wrong in a job, the Company needs to know that. This usually means bringing the matter to a higher level. Sometimes the Company has made an error and can fix it; sometimes the employee has something to learn.

Be Smart but Not Smug

We should pride ourselves on innovative approaches, and admire people who use their brains to the fullest. We tend to hire and promote people who seek education. On the other hand, there is an infinite amount we do not know. It is imperative that we never get smug about our level of knowledge or our degree of sophistication. Smugness is the worst enemy of creative intellect.

Maintain a Professional Demeanor

Ours is a business office and conduct within it should always reflect professionalism. It’s not businesslike to use publicly visible work stations for activities other than work, to play music that disturbs others or cuts us off from communications, or to dress in too casual a manner. We want to dress, walk, and talk like the respected professionals we strive to be.

Know Your Colleagues

Everyone likes working with friends, and we all want a sense that the Company pays personal attention to our needs and our successes. Our staff is encouraged to recruit friends for jobs in the Company. All employees are asked to get to know the people they work with and be sensitive to them as individuals. Supervisors should have small enough spans of authority to pay attention to every aspect of each person’s performance and be empathetic to their feelings. We each have to do our part, though, to make this closeness work.

Be Proud of Where You Work

Our Company is a community. People feel best when they are proud of their community and know that it is accomplishing something worthwhile. If there are questions about how one’s work fits into the whole picture or about the behavior of the Company in any area of its work, it is always good to ask. When the Company is mentioned outside our offices, we should all be able to speak about it with pride and a broad base of knowledge. We want to be honest and good citizens, both individually and as a group.
