NASHVILLE, Tenn., — Commercial Insurance Associates (CIA) was named one of Middle Tennessee’s 2025 Top Workplaces by The Tennessean, via its third-party survey partner Engergage. CIA was also recognized with the Top Benefits Award across all company levels. The Top Benefits award is given to the company with the highest marks for the quality and depth of their employee benefits offerings.

“Recruiting and retaining top talent is a constant focus for us—as it is across the industry,” says Scott Denbo, CEO of Commercial Insurance Associates. “Our goal is to make CIA a place where people can build meaningful careers and collaborate toward shared success. We’re incredibly proud of this recognition and grateful to our team for taking the time to share their experience.”

The confidential survey is based solely on employee feedback, and measures employee experience and its component themes, such as feeling respected and supported, enabled to grow, and empowered to execute. Last year, the company was also recognized as a Top Insurance Employer by Insurance Business America.

Last year, CIA completed recapitalization, bringing 12 producer employees into its member-owner ranks, aimed at preserving its independent agency status and to build a platform for future growth. Since then, it’s brought several new producers into the company, and expanded its practice areas, including Employee Benefits.
