Diversity, Equity & Inclusion | Progressive Careers

A work environment where everyone feels valued and respected

It’s been proven time and time again that a diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) organization is more successful in the marketplace. We’re committed to ensure our people feel valued, welcomed, and respected.

"We’re true to Progressive people by valuing contributions, providing opportunity to grow careers, and ensuring people feel comfortable bringing their unique and best selves to work each day. This is what defines us, distinguishes us from other insurance companies, and drives us always to be better … to always be Progressive."

Through career development

In addition to leadership and job-based training, Progressive provides courses such as our Multicultural Leadership Development Program and unique Progressive Boot Camps. These programs provide intensive learning experiences to introduce and enhance some of the skills that can contribute to career growth.

We also encourage coaching and mentorship of employees across the organization and rotational job programs to develop skillsets and raise the visibility of our entry-and mid-level team members.

In our communities

Progressive donates to nonprofits selected by our ERGs and supports causes directly related to what we do as a company, including veteran vehicle giveaways and the homeless transition program with Humble Design. Employees can get involved by:

Donating through the Progressive Insurance Foundation designed so every employee can give to a charity of their choice; Progressive people have given $85 million to various causes since 2002.
Contributing time, items, or money to our Keys to Progress® veteran vehicle giveaway and homeless transition programs.
Partnering with schools and organizations to teach interactive lessons reinforcing financial literacy topics and insurance concepts.
Taking part in any of the virtual volunteerism opportunities available to employees.

We’re proud to be recognized as a company that values employees and our workplace culture.
