RLI

OUR HISTORY OF FINANCIAL STABILITY

Our history of financial stability allows RLI to attract the best and brightest employees to join our team of professionals. Hiring such talented individuals allows RLI to achieve results that are the envy of our industry.

Introducing the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) at RLI was an innovative decision made more than 35 years ago. We share the business profits with our employees and make them owners in the business.

Owning the business creates a sense of urgency and importance with our employees. Employees feel a sense of pride and ownership as they work to make a real difference in our success. They are challenged and empowered to profitably build our business. Those with skills, knowledge and a thirst for success excel at RLI.

This is how we’ve become known for our history of creating new opportunities, building value and developing successful businesses. In recent years, RLI has added a number of new underwriting operations. RLI Marine, RLI Re and RLI Professional Services Group are some of the examples of recent product expansion and growth efforts.

“Employees benefit from RLI’s focus on profitability as the true measure of success. Growing our businesses, increasing effectiveness and managing expenses brings profit to the bottom line. Sharing the rewards with our employees has always made sense to RLI.” Craig W. Kliethermes, President & COO

RLI’s underwriting focused business model has yielded an impressive 21 straight years of underwriting profit supported by a combined ratio 17 points below the industry average. Even more impressive — RLI has paid and increased dividends in each of the last 41 years.

At RLI, we’ve created a business model that works: hire smart, ethical people, make them owners of the business, and give them the freedom to succeed. Our employees are encouraged to seek out opportunities, make things happen and do the unexpected.
