Market Leverage

Burnham has preferred relationships with all large state and national medical carriers. We are
assigned to most tenured carrier teams. Burnham has elite broker status and sits on all major
insurance carrier executive boards, giving us direct access to carrier executives. This enables
Burnham to provide unique leverage for our clients and results in favorable business decisions
made by the carriers. It also provides Burnham with unique opportunities to offer clients new
employee benefit products and services before they are available to most other
brokers/consultants.

A Great Place to Work
The dedication to building a healthy workplace allows Burnham to attract and retain exceptional
talent from the industry’s top firms. Burnham has been recognized as a top “Best Place to Work”
every year since 2011 by the Orange County Business Journal; and was recognized by Los Angeles
Business Journal. At a national level, Burnham has been voted a “Best Place to Work in
Insurance” every year since 2013 by Business Insurance Journal. Burnham is also a certified
Women’s Business Enterprise (WBENC), a distinction accepted by over 800 national
corporations, non-profit organizations and government agencies across the country. In 2015,
President and CEO, Kris Allison was voted Woman of the Year by the Orange County Business
Journal.

Progressive Company Culture
The Burnham team prides itself on operating much differently than your average brokerage
firm. We are highly collaborative, and revel in a culture that allows each employee to blossom
into the best possible version of themselves. Burnham truly understands the importance of
work-life harmony, encouraging employees to get involved in the community and offering
flexible schedules.

We pride ourselves on operating differently than your typical consulting firm. Teams are highly
collaborative and thrive in a culture that empowers each employee to chart their own career
growth. Engaged and service-focused employees directly correlate to Burnham’s ability to go
above and beyond for customers and establish long-lasting partnerships. As a result, Burnham
has an extremely low employee turnover and an excellent reputation for being one of the top
career firms in the insurance industry.
