UnitedAg is a member-owned agricultural trade association with a clear focus on addressing the needs of its members within the agricultural industry. The organization serves several key functions: 1. Employee Benefits: We are dedicated to meeting the employee benefit needs of our member companies by providing access and assistance with employee benefit programs, such as health benefits and other benefits that are crucial for agricultural businesses to attract and retain talent. 2. Legislative Advocacy: We advocate on behalf of our members with lawmakers to ensure that the policies and regulations affecting the industry are favorable and consider the concerns of their members. 3. Regulatory Compliance: Given the often complex and evolving nature of regulations in the agricultural sector, we provide resources, guidance, and expertise to assist members in navigating and adhering to these requirements. Company Values Member-Centric: We provide our members incredible value with a personal touch — while still treating employees like people. If you love the [Zappos pizza story], and you’re inspired by how companies like Southwest, Costco, Trader Joe's treat their employees, you’ll probably fit right in. Growth Mindset: We are not perfect. We try things quickly, which means we sometimes make mistakes. Those are opportunities to learn. A safe space to make mistakes is a good space to grow. We value humility and course-correction. Rise To Your Role: Your first job title probably won’t be your last. Our chief of staff started as an accounting administrator, and our head of IT was a help desk technician. Why? We quickly noticed their strengths and crafted new roles for them. Roll Up Your Sleeves: From the way we run our board meetings to our HR events, we give employees significantly more power than a traditional healthcare company. Our leadership team works in the trenches, and we don’t privilege an opinion because of someone’s salary or status.
