RAISE YOUR EXPECTATIONS.
“Risk management” and “employee benefits”: four words that conjure up all sorts of opinions. Like frustrating. Complicated. Necessary evil.
We think it’s time to change that.
Risk management and employee benefits can be catalysts for positive transformation, contributing to your success and growth. As an integral part of your team, we can help you facilitate positive change, manage risks, and optimize your spending to help make even your loftiest goals a reality.
It’s time to raise your expectations about what your business partners should do for you.

ANALYZING YOU
A big part of our job involves developing a deep understanding of your business so we can form a clear picture of your corporate goals and approach to risk management.
Our comprehensive risk assessments cover business continuity, interruptions, cyber threats, and emerging risks, leading to the thorough evaluation of your risk tolerance and culture.
Think of them as a tailored health screening—but focused on your business risks.
LEVERAGING DATA
Your data tells the story of your business, and we believe that story should guide your decisions. That’s why APERTURE is at the heart of our strategy.
Offering a panoramic view of your risks, APERTURE combines data from multiple sources to provide insight for cost analysis, loss and exposure trending, benchmarking, and forecasting. With APERTURE, we help you convert data into knowledge so you can make informed decisions that protect your business and your future.
A HOLISTIC APPROACH
We elevate our strategies by intertwining risk assessments with operational risk analysis.
What does this mean?
We form a deep understanding of your distinct goals, risk culture, and risk tolerance, seamlessly aligning this information with the operational aspects of your risk management strategy, such as past performance and existing and future exposures. This approach ensures that every step of your risk management strategy is informed, adaptive, and attuned to the ever-changing dynamics of your business.
THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF RISK
There are many options for treating your risk—and based on our risk analysis and your risk profile, we’ll recommend the right risk treatment strategy for you. This includes guiding you through the claims process when needed.
YOUR DEDICATED ADVOCATE
We know that insurance and risk management are not merely about the placement of your coverage once a year and that questions or issues arise daily. That’s why you can always rely on MJ to help—and to be a persistent advocate on your behalf—while surpassing your expectations with our client service.

WE CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR EMPLOYEES—
AND BRIGHTER FUTURES FOR OUR CLIENTS.
THE RIGHT TEAM FOR THE JOB
We recognize the importance of strong leaders, which is why each of our associates—no matter their level of experience or time with the company—can be a leader in their given area. Our company is full of resourceful, motivated people who collaborate as leaders on common ground, all playing different but equally important positions on the team.
OUR CORE VALUES
By having a culture focused on continually sharing, learning, and educating, we constantly get better at what we do. It’s a critical aspect of our business, given the landscape of our industry—because the knowledge we gain is passed on to our clients, helping them manage risk, improve efficiency, and be more successful.
The culture of The MJ Companies can best be described by our core values, which help empower our associates to be their very best in both their personal and professional lives.
PASSIONATE
We are driven by passion. It gives our work purpose and gives new meaning to what we do. And working with passion is more than a mindset—it’s a transformative experience that makes us proud of what we accomplish.
INSPIRING
Leadership takes passion and commitment. But it also requires you to place the interests of others ahead of your own, while acting as a positive influence to those around you. We believe that everyone is a valuable part of our team—and that everyone can be an inspiring leader.
CURIOUS
Learning is a lifelong process, spurred by a healthy curiosity of the world around us. By asking questions, seeking answers, and applying what we learn, we push ourselves further down the path of personal growth and development.
DETERMINED
Achievement begins with a determination to see results. It is a mindset that combines perseverance and passion into a single vision of what can be achieved by pressing patiently forward—one step after the next.
INNOVATIVE
Innovation starts with future-focused insight, and evolves through the application of a creative vision. Every member of our team is capable of imagining better ways to work, collaborate, and advance our goals. Innovative thinking is the first step toward making the world a better place.
FUN
Fun, humor, and joy are part of who you are, and they should be a part of your work. When we don’t take ourselves too seriously, the world is a brighter, better place. We remember that happiness is not a destination—it’s a journey.
