Award-Winning DC Metro Insurance Advisory Opens Its Doors: Capitol Benefits Launches Culture Tours

Gaithersburg, Maryland Jul 21, 2026 (Issuewire.com) Award-Winning DC Metro Insurance Advisory Opens Its Doors: Capitol Benefits Launches Culture Tours

Named a Best Workplace by Inc. Magazine, a seven-time Best Places to Work winner by the Washington Business Journal, and an Inc. 5000 fastest-growing private company, the culture-first firm now invites HR leaders and business owners inside to see how it was built

Capitol Benefits, LLC, the culture-first insurance advisory serving the Washington, DC metro area, today announced its SHRM-accredited Culture Tours, a program that opens the firm’s doors to HR leaders and business owners who want to see, firsthand, how an award-winning workplace culture is actually built.

The tours come on the heels of a rare trifecta of recognition: Capitol Benefits has been named to Inc. Magazine’s Best Workplaces list, honored seven times as a Best Places to Work by the Washington Business Journal, and included on the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies. Even a local government has paid for the firm’s culture expertise.

“People kept asking us how we do it, so we decided to stop describing it and start showing it,” said Josh Lavine, Founder and CEO of Capitol Benefits. “Culture is built through systems, not slogans. On a Culture Tour, you see the actual systems: how we hire, how we run meetings, how we recognize people, and why our team stays. Then you take what works back to your own company.”

What Happens on a Culture Tour

Culture Tours are offered by RSVP, in person at the firm’s Gaithersburg headquarters or over Zoom, and carry SHRM continuing education credits for HR professionals. Attendees walk through the people-first systems behind the awards, from hiring and onboarding to recognition and retention, and leave with practices they can apply immediately. Capacity is limited. Details and registration are available at capitolbenefits.com/culture-tours.

The tours reflect the same belief that drives the firm’s client work: your relationship with your insurance advisor should be one of the most trusted relationships you have. That philosophy has earned Capitol Benefits more than 600 verified client reviews with a 4.9-star average, with every client served by a named agent rather than a call center.

“We practice what we advise,” Lavine added. “We tell employers that benefits and culture are how you keep great people. Our own workplace is the proof, and now anyone can come see it.”
