60 Years of Security National Success

60 Years of Security National Success

As part of the Security National family of companies, we at SecurityNational Mortgage Company (SNMC) are thrilled to share the remarkable milestone reached by our sister company, Security National Life. This year, they are celebrating 60 years of serving families. This achievement not only signifies their longevity but also mirrors our shared commitment to stability, growth, and excellence.
 
 

A Legacy of Excellence

Security National began in 1965 with the inception of the Security National Life Insurance Company. Starting with a modest sum of $543,000 in assets, housed in a small rented home in Salt Lake City, Utah, Security National has consistently grown into a robust industry leader across various service sectors.
 
Over the past six decades, Security Nationals’ expansion has been fueled by new sales and investment opportunities, acquisitions of life insurance companies, funeral homes, and cemeteries, along with the formation and evolution of our mortgage company. This journey of growth and resilience reflects our unwavering commitment and dedication to serving families and enabling meaningful careers.
 
In celebration of its 60th anniversary, SNL has created a special logo that encapsulates its history, stability, and unwavering commitment to excellence. This logo (seen below) will be used throughout 2025 to highlight SNL’s history and commitment to customers and internal teams.

The Great Work Debate: In-Office Mandates vs. Remote Work

The Great Work Debate: In-Office Mandates vs. Remote Work

As companies across the nation redefine their workplace policies, employees are facing a new set of challenges. Recent developments at major corporations like 3M and Amazon illustrate the stark contrast in approaches to returning to the office, highlighting a critical moment for workers navigating their professional and personal lives.
 
 

The Shift in Work Policies

3M has adopted a flexible “Work Your Way” policy, allowing employees to choose between remote, hybrid, or in-office arrangements. This shift recognizes the importance of work-life balance and the varied preferences of today’s workforce. Employees are encouraged to select the work environment that best suits their productivity and well-being, reflecting a growing trend toward autonomy and trust in the workplace.
In contrast, Amazon Web Services (AWS) CEO Matt Garman has taken a more rigid approach by mandating that employees return to the office five days a week. Garman’s recent comments have sparked significant backlash, with many employees expressing dissatisfaction and even threatening to leave the company. This divide highlights the challenges many workers face as they adjust to new expectations regarding in-person work.
 
 

The Impact of Relocation

During the COVID-19 pandemic, many employees relocated as companies shifted to remote work models. This newfound flexibility allowed workers to move away from their traditional office locations, often seeking more affordable housing or a better quality of life. However, as some companies enforce stricter return-to-office policies, many employees may find themselves required to return, creating significant pressure for those who have settled into new living situations.
Another challenge some employees face is the requirement to return to the office due to living within a given radius of the workplace. This may lead them to consider relocating further away, where housing options might be more favorable and where they can enjoy a better quality of life.
