James Emming, Senior Claims Auditor at The Cincinnati Insurance Companies

James chose a career in insurance because it gives him the opportunity to help people when they need it most, along with the chance to solve complex problems.


James expresses, “As a claims representative, you show up knowing that you can’t replace the memories or sentimental value, but insurance means we can put a roof back over their heads and help get them back on their feet. Insurance is a noble profession with a growing number of career opportunities. I tell everyone, if you like helping people, insurance might be the right career for you.”

“I tell everyone, if you like helping people, insurance might be the right career for you.”

James Emming, Cincinnati Insurance, RISE Award Recipient

RISE to the Occasion: James is a problem solver, regularly assisting others to help them more efficiently complete their work. When he doesn’t know something, he proactively seeks out instruction or training. He’s not happy with the status quo and is always interested in upping the game and finding better ways to complete audits. James is working to innovate audit processes with the use of artificial intelligence and text mining so that he and coworkers can apply their expertise and knowledge where it’s most needed.

“James has been instrumental in the rollout of our new File Review program for field claims representatives. He designed and helped implement an electronic workbook we use to compile information used in the annual review process for field claims associates. His contributions helped us improve the consistency of the file review process, enabling more accurate comparisons.” Kenneth Kerby, The Cincinnati Insurance Company

Everyday people come to me for help. I help them protect their life, their assets, their future and so much more. In exchange for my service I give them a promise. You see, as an agent I work with many insurance carriers and many different policies. It is my job to find the right fit for my client. I make sure that this promise will be there for them if they need it. We all hope that bad things will never happen, but we all know that accidents are inevitable.

Last year a family friend came to me to discuss a new car insurance policy. She was paying a large amount with a company that she was with for over 5 years. I saw that she had a squeaky clean record and knew she would be a perfect candidate for much better valued policies. Only 1 month after trusting in me she was in an accident. The firefighter, police, and hospital were all her hero that day. About a month after her accident she called me to tell me about the incident. She ended her story with a huge THANK YOU! She was saying thank you because of how amazing her experience was with filing the claim. She said she called to make a claim with the company and the claim representative walked her through the entire process and noted that she was covered. My client was so happy that I helped her make the right decision with a great carrier and policy.

On that day I realized how important we are; how important YOU are. On that day, insurance became her hero too. We share a client, and we both want what is best. To our clients I make a promise and you keep it. For that, I thank you!
