Our people

Our people

Just as our customers depend on us to meet their needs when accidents or illnesses occur, the continued success of our company is the result of the hard work and dedication of our employees. Our organization is built on a strong set of values designed to foster a rewarding culture of responsiveness, individual development and wellness for our 10,000 employees.

  • Employee development: We provide opportunities for employees to develop their skills and enhance their leadership abilities.
  • Work-life balance: So that employees can better balance their work and personal lives, we offer an employee assistance program, generous paid time off and a variety of other work-life balance benefits.
  • Health and wellness: On-site fitness facilities and robust health resource centers are just a couple of the ways we encourage a healthy workforce.
  • Feedback: Employee feedback is a vital part of our culture, and our employee opinion surveys and a variety of informal feedback sessions help us stay at the top of our game.
