GenStar Insurance Services, LLC has launched STAFFprotect+, a new insurance program designed specifically for Professional Employment Organizations (PEOs) and staffing agencies. The product will be distributed through Starfish Specialty Insurance and written on an excess and surplus (E&S) basis using General Star Indemnity paper.
The program is intended to address the complex liability and coverage needs faced by staffing-related businesses through a primary package offering and excess capacity options. As PEOs and staffing firms continue to navigate evolving workforce and compliance risks, STAFFprotect+ aims to provide broader and more specialized insurance protection.
Matt Brown, Senior Vice President and Delegated Division Manager at GenStar, said the launch reflects the company’s commitment to expanding its delegated programs portfolio with tailored solutions for niche industries. He added that Starfish Specialty brings strong program administration expertise and market insight to the partnership.
Jeremy Hitzig, CEO of Starfish Specialty Insurance, said the PEO and staffing sectors have lacked a comprehensive insurance solution for some time. He described the market as ready for a new entrant and noted that STAFFprotect+ represents the company’s second program focused on this segment.
GenStar Insurance Services is a provider of excess, surplus, and specialty property and casualty insurance, operating exclusively through a select group of wholesale brokers. Both GenStar and General Star Indemnity Company are subsidiaries of General Reinsurance Corporation, part of the Berkshire Hathaway family of companies.
