FORT LEE, NJ

Robert Starr founded The Starr Group in 1956. Over fifty years later, under the ownership of Tim Starr, CIC, CRM, CRIS, The Starr Group has grown into one of Milwaukee’s largest independent insurance agencies. The Starr Group is an insurance/risk management agency with the capabilities of advising clients on everything from their business insurance, including group health, to personal insurance. We also provide assistance in human resources compliance, loss control, workers' compensation claims administration, and e-services. The Starr Group is unique in their approach to client services because of the high education requirements for their sales and service personnel. The goal is to not only provide insurance to clients but also to become an adviser who reviews clients' needs and analyzes their total cost of risk. Having a staff that is highly educated in the industry promotes higher quality advice and insurance products for clients. Whether your needs are commercial insurance, employee benefits or home and auto coverage, The Starr Group can provide you with the best protection for your business, your family and your assets. The Starr Group is not only a great disaster response company, as we found out with the Microburst in July of 2010 when we sustained major roof damage, but they also provide a function that will help your company internally with expertise in human resources, OSHA requirements, and team building. The Starr Group culture is one that is established by design, not default.  Since its restructuring in 2008, the agency leadership has been actively pursuing a workplace culture that is based on a high standard of ethics and relationships built on transparency. The unique Starr Group culture is the result of years of careful planning and the dedicated implementation of a series of core ethical values that are clearly outlined and continually communicated to all its employees.  These values – known as “I-PREACH” – include: Integrity, Passion, Respect, Excellence, Achievement, Communication and Health/Wellbeing. The Starr Group has been certified by The Good Jobs. Click on the Culture Badges below to learn more. The acronym itself suggests The Starr Group “walks the talk” in that we clearly practice what we preach. This has been confirmed time and again by the acquisition of several local and national awards from the Better Business Bureau’s “Torch of Ethics,” and the Business Journal’s “Best Place to Work in the Midwest”, to the Business Journal’s “Healthiest Employer”, just to name a few. Rather than exist in a reactive environment that is led by happenstance, The Starr Group determines its own direction by asking the question, “Who do we want to be?” and then choosing to make it so. How we treat each other as coworkers and colleagues extends to how we treat our customers. Executive Vice President, Mary Starr defines it as “Culture by Design…not Default.” To learn more about The Starr Group Culture, browse our web site and visit our Facebook, Linked In and Twitter accounts.

The Starr Group doesn’t just support established organizations. The staff also organizes annual drives for clothing, food and school supplies that is distributed to organizations within the surrounding community and beyond. In 2014, we learned through a local church about one family that was facing hard times: health issues that resulted in unemployment and homelessness. Our staff stepped up to privately help this family in their immediate need for food, clothing, furnishings and rent for a small apartment. In 2015, we followed up on the progress of that family. It was heartwarming to learn that we brought some stability and hope to strengthen a family in our community.
