Our core values

These core values encompass the SPIRIT of UFG, ever present in our day-to-day work lives as we deliver on our promises through:
We have a responsibility to provide gold-standard service in all its forms — service to agents, policyholders, claimants and to one another. By applying compassionate, person-centered attention to every encounter, we aspire to reach a level of service that’s unparalleled.
We believe insurance is a people business and that means we appreciate the value of trusted partnerships. Whether independent agents, policyholders or claimants, we balance a human touch with automation to meet the diverse needs of the people who count on us.
We embrace strategic innovations that lead to consistent, unified success. We focus on positive outcomes through collaboration and a transparent culture of accountability. 
We treat fellow employees with respect and an appreciation for each person’s background and unique skill sets. Every role contributes to the company’s overall success. Every voice is important. Every idea is welcome and heard.
We ethically approach each business interaction with the utmost integrity. We always assume good intent and value honest, respectful communications that inspire us to be great today and even better tomorrow.
We build a foundation of trust with every promise fulfilled, empowering people to succeed, businesses to prosper and communities to thrive. 


Our founding principles

UFG Insurance was founded on the belief that our business is a people business. To that end, ​our founder instilled in us the importance of doing business the right way and treating people the right way, which is reflected in every promise we make at UFG. Both then and now. ​Through our work, we’ve learned the value in people over transactions, ​profitability above growth, listening before speaking and giving without recognition —​ all principles that define who we are today. After 75 years in business, we are proud ​of the successful company UFG has become. Yet, we remain as humble as the day we ​first opened in 1946, knowing that we owe every success to our people.
