According to the Mayo Clinic, volunteering “reduces stress and increases positive, relaxed feelings.”1 Employees at Argo Group know this well. They experience it first-hand by joining local Community Relations Committees (CRCs) and utilizing the tools Argo provides to improve their communities and connect with peers.

When you give, you become a happier person. Studies have shown that this is proven to also reduce depression. I find it fulfilling. There’s something going on psychologically that gratifies me.”
