Homesteaders Celebrates 10 Years as Top Iowa Workplace

West Des Moines, Iowa — For the tenth year in a row, Homesteaders Life Company, a national leader in preneed funeral funding, has been recognized as a 2024 Top Iowa Workplace.

“We are thrilled to once again be recognized as a Top Iowa Workplace,” said Steve Shaffer, Homesteaders President, CEO and Board Chair. “So much has changed at Homesteaders in the last 10 years, but our commitment to serving families, funeral homes and agents while being a great place to work is the same today as it has always been.”

The Top Iowa Workplace award recognizes companies that demonstrate strong employee engagement, satisfaction and overall organizational health. Recipients are selected based on the results of an anonymous third-party employee feedback survey conducted by The Des Moines Register in conjunction with Energage, LLC.
