The award is the result of comprehensive measurement and evaluation of hundreds of applicants.

Each company’s benefits were also audited to determine the overall score. US Alliance Group, Inc. is honored to be included among the 507 companies recognized this year.
“I’ve always believed the company is the people. If you take care of your people, they’ll take care of everything else. We spend as much time with our coworkers as we do with our families, so our goal has always been to create a place where people feel cared for, supported, and part of a second family away from home.
We try to create a culture where employees can grow professionally and personally, stay healthy, give back to their communities, and enjoy coming to work every day. This recognition means a lot because it comes from the people who experience that culture firsthand.
I thank God every day for our amazing team, for everything we’ve built together, and I’m grateful that our employees feel the love and intention we’ve put into this company from day one.”
— Fadi Cheikha, CEO, US Alliance Group, Inc.
