Hays Companies was founded in 1994 through the entrepreneurial spirit of James C. Hays and five senior- level individuals from major brokerage firms. The leaders set out on a mission to fill the void of customer service and creative ideas in the marketplace. Today, Hays Companies is one of the fastest growing risk management, insurance, and employee benefits consultancy firms in the country. Our philosophy of delivering the highest-quality, customer-focused service has driven over 20 years of exponential organic growth. The company is comprised of 700+ experienced professionals in more than 35 locations throughout the United States. Hays remains a privately-held corporation providing employees a vested interest in the success of the organization. This structure ensures we remain solely focused on exceeding our customers'_ needs, and not the needs of Wall Street. Connect with us at www.hayscompanies.com and explore The Hays Difference!
