NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 2, 2026 – CIA-Commercial Insurance Associates has been recognized with the 2026 Great Benefits Award from Mployer, the industry-standard for employee benefit plan rating. This honor highlights CIA’s commitment to offering comprehensive, high-quality benefits that support the health, financial security, and overall well-being of its workforce.
“Investing in our people is foundational to our success,” says Scott Denbo, chief executive officer. “Our benefits are designed to meet the diverse needs of our team and demonstrate how much we value their contributions. We are honored to be recognized by Mployer.”
The Great Benefits Award is based on a comprehensive, data-driven evaluation of an employer’s benefit offerings across four major categories: medical, ancillary (dental, vision, life and more), PTO and leave, and retirement.
“Recognition by Mployer affirms that we’re doing this in a way that not only supports employees but also makes us a destination workplace,” says Gary Bynum, human resources director. “Talent is a critical factor of performance in the insurance industry. Offering best-in-class benefits is an intentional investment and a competitive advantage which leads to positive outcomes for our partners, team members and long-term success of the company.”
Mployer independently rates benefit plans by analyzing their design, cost-sharing, generosity, and many other features—comparing them against a custom cohort of employers matched by their industry, region, and size. Only employers who meet or exceed market standards across these core benefit categories are eligible for recognition.
