    SALT LAKE CITY, UT, May 10, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- MGIS is pleased to announce that it has been chosen as one of the winning companies for the prestigious Utah Work/Life Award, therefore being named as one of "Utah's Best Places to Work". Presented by Utah's Department of Workforce services, the Utah Work/Life Award recognizes and honors companies that create an exceptional workplace by effectively addressing employee work/life needs and striving to create and maintain a culture of equity and opportunity.

"Utah is known for being a great place to work, and we are delighted to be recognized for such a coveted award alongside some of the finest and most esteemed companies within the state of Utah," says Glenna Lasater, Assistant Vice President Human Resources at MGIS. "We are pleased that our vision and workplace practices are aligned with Utah's progressive efforts to promote a culture of Work-Life harmony for all who live and work here."

In addition to this award, MGIS is commemorating its 40th year in business. "As we celebrate our accomplishments and longevity, we feel especially honored to continue to serve the brokers, customers, and business partners who have been so loyal over the years," notes Jeff Brunken, President and Managing Partner. "It is a fitting tribute to MGIS that we should receive this honor during the celebration of our 40th anniversary. Without our dedicated employees, 40 years of serving physicians - and workplace excellence - would not be possible."

MGIS credits its continued success to Dale Brunken, company founder, and his lasting influence. Thanks to Dale's leadership and employee-first management style, MGIS has stood by its commitment to remain an employee-friendly company. Even with steady growth and many challenges, MGIS has maintained a supportive and small-company environment. Although Dale passed away several years ago, his sons, Jeffrey and Daniel, continue to build the MGIS legacy.
