Making a difference works

RLI supports the causes and charitable organizations that are most important to our employees by offering a Matching Gifts Program. RLI matches donations up to $3,000 per employee each year for eligible organizations. The impact is far-reaching and supports hundreds of organizations throughout the country. In addition, all employees receive a day of paid volunteer time off to benefit the organizations that matter most to them.

What our employee owners say

It’s easy to look forward to coming into the office every day when you're surrounded by supportive and caring coworkers, some of whom have become my best friends. My bosses see my potential and encourage both my personal and professional growth. RLI also has a unique culture which allows me the freedom to create a way of working that works best for me. I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else.

The best thing about working at RLI is the people. From the top down, everyone is friendly and unique. At the corporate office in Peoria, I can connect easily with everyone I need to, and I feel very involved and appreciated. I also enjoy the workout facility we have onsite – it’s another great way to meet new people, break a sweat during lunch and stay in good health.
