ABILENE, TX —Directors Investment Group (DIG), parent company to Funeral Directors Life, Passare, Claimcheck, and other subsidiaries, is proud to share that it has been named a 2026 Best Workplace in Texas™ by Great Place To Work® and Fortune! This is DIG's fifth consecutive year ranking among the top 25 in the small and medium business category and its 10th consecutive year on the list overall. As in previous years, DIG was the only Abilene-based company to earn a spot.
“Every year, we are incredibly honored to be recognized on this list,” said Kris Seale, DIG President & CEO. “Being named among the top 25 workplaces in our great state of Texas is a testament to our team, who show up each day to serve others, care for one another, and live out our values.”
To determine the Fortune Best Workplaces in Texas™ List, Great Place To Work surveyed nearly 100,000 employees at eligible companies via its proprietary platform. Companies were ranked based on their ability to offer consistently positive experiences, building trust with leaders, colleagues, and the overall organization.
DIG employees answered questions and provided honest feedback on topics ranging from workplace benefits to leadership. Survey results confirmed that 94% of DIG employees said the company is a great place to work, compared to 57% at the average U.S.-based company.
“I’ve been blessed to see our company grow from four employees to over 600, and each person has played a part in shaping our amazing culture,” Seale added. “Our Texas roots continue to shape who we are, and we'll keep building a company that honors God, honors our team, and honors our clients with the same vigilance that got us here.”
