HISTORY:
The Hummel Group has exceeded expectations in the local insurance and financial services markets for over five decades. Our Orrville office was founded in 1951 as the R. E. Miller Insurance Agency. The Hummel Insurance Agency of Berlin was started in 1957. In 2003, the two businesses came together to form Hummel Group, Inc. In 2009 we expanded into Wooster, Ohio, when the Taylor Agency joined Hummel Group. Also in 2009, Yoder Insurance Agency in Shipshewana, Indiana, was brought on board to expand services to Northern Indiana.
Since then, the Hummel Group has grown to be a recognized insurance and financial services leader distinguished by both a clear understanding of small town values and leading edge products. Hummel Group professionals strive every day to exceed your expectations, helping you transition from success to significance with each interaction and transaction.
CORE VALUES: Our core values work for you, not just for us.
CUSTOMER FOCUS
Hummel Group is committed to providing service in a prompt, friendly and knowledgeable manner. We will recommend products and services that are in the best interest of our customers, recognizing that if we take care of our customers, they will take care of us. This means we never sell a product because of how it benefits us, but rather, to meet the needs of the customer.
FAMILY
Hummel Group began as a family business, and we recognize that a positive family life results in productive employees. We want our employees to have a healthy balance between the time spent at work and the time spent with family.
FAITH
We have been created to glorify God by being good stewards of what has been entrusted to us. We want to have a positive influence on each person who has contact with Hummel Group. We believe Biblical principals should guide all of our actions.
TEAMWORK
Hummel Group recognizes that we are stronger as a unit than we are as individuals. We value selflessness. When we look for ways to make our peers better, we better ourselves in the process. We will provide our employees with an energetic, team-oriented environment with opportunities for personal growth. "It is amazing what can be accomplished when nobody cares about who gets the credit." Robert Yates
PRODUCTIVITY
Hummel Group values hard work. Each employee will strive to work efficiently and with a high level of enthusiasm. Everyone should desire to continually improve their skills and knowledge. This performance creates a positive work environment that is enjoyable to be a part of. We are committed to hiring people of character and teaching them the skills they need to succeed.
INTEGRITY
We will conduct ourselves with the highest level of personal and corporate integrity. We will be honest in all situations: with our employees, with our carriers, and with our customers. Our actions should be such that we would not be ashamed to have a report of that action in the newspaper for all to see.
