Winn & Co. Operational Support

At Winn & Company we strive to give our clients efficient and seamless customer service. With this goal in mind, we have a dedicated operations team that supports our technical insurance function.

There are many aspects to the need for operational expertise. Our example is a well trained and pleasant receptionist to properly and quickly direct client calls. There are also issues involving Winn & Company floor plans and support systems. We continue to analyze operations so that we can best group people together for maximum teamwork and support.

The systems issue is one of our top priorities. Our staff spends the majority of their day on the phone, computer, fax, copier, etc. We continue to work to have the most state-of-the-art equipment in place to make our team as efficient as possible in exceeding the customer service expectation of our clients.

Shana Strohn is the Operations Manager for Winn & Company. Please give her a call if you would like to discuss any aspect of our operations.

 

Winn & Co. Service Area

In order to provide the high-quality service our clients deserve, we only serve employers that are headquartered in California. While our clients are headquartered in California, an ever-increasing number have out-of-state and/or foreign operations and exposures. We have excellent relationships with insurance carriers and related vendors that deal with these far flung operations. We have many multi-state and foreign programs in place for our clients.

At Winn & Co., we have an uncompromising commitment to client service regardless of where our clients' operations are located. Our agents are always on the move, visiting clients, assessing claim sites, attending safety meetings and staying current on the needs of each client. We believe that face-to-face relationships make the difference between simple insurance coverage and real security.
