Madison, Wis.-based American Family Insurance Group, the nation’s ninth largest property casualty insurer, will close nine claims offices across the country and eliminate 202 jobs in an effort to be more cost-effective and efficient.
The company’s Wisconsin offices in Janesville, Racine, Onalaska and Eau Claire are due to close May 25. Eighty-six of the employees in Wisconsin will be affected by the closures, 20 of them in the Janesville office.
Meanwhile, field adjusters will continue to work from their homes. “It is a cost-effective and efficient measure,” American Family spokeswoman Judy Lowell said in a Reuters news service report.
American Family has more than 7,300 employees in 15 states.
