Get the money before it's gone

Sarasota-based FCCI, which provides property and casualty insurance to businesses, is known around the region as a top company for which to work.

But even a room full of Sarasota executives well versed in FCCI's philosophies was impressed upon hearing a human resources-related nugget about the 700-employee firm: FCCI's turnover rate of employees leaving the firm is less than 4%, a remarkably low number that dropped from 7% last year.

That's the word from FCCI senior HR executive Lisa Krouse. Krouse talked about the turnover figures while speaking on a panel at a recent event put on by the Economic Development Corp. of Sarasota County.
