Award Recognizes Mercury's Foundational Embrace of Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion
LOS
ANGELES, Feb. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
Mercury Insurance has been named by Newsweek, in conjunction with
market data research firm Plant-A Insights, as one of America's
Greatest Workplaces for Diversity for 2024. Companies were judged
on criteria including competitive salaries, growth opportunities
compared with other employers, work-life balance and
non-discriminatory hiring practices. Mercury is one of only 16
companies in the Mid-Size Insurance Underwriting category (1,000 to
4,999 employees) nationally, and one of two based in California. By way of comparison, there are
5,929 insurance companies in total in the
United States.
"Diversity has been a foundational anchor point of Mercury's
corporate culture since our founding in 1962 and has always been a
key component of our success, because we simply hire the best
people."
"We're honored to be included on the 2024 Newsweek list," stated
Heidi Sullivan, Vice President,
Chief Human Capital Officer for Mercury. "Diversity has been a
foundational anchor point of Mercury's corporate culture since our
founding in 1962 and has always been a key component of our
success, because we simply hire the best people."
This award recognizes Mercury's dedication to maintaining a
diverse workplace, something that is embedded in the company's DNA.
Mercury has long believed that a diverse workforce feeds innovative
solutions by encouraging everyone to participate in the
process.
"This award validates our belief that Mercury's success stems
from building a diverse and well-rounded team," added Gabriel Tirador, Mercury Insurance CEO.
"Diversity creates a multitude of perspectives, unlocking a wealth
of different approaches and ways of thinking. A diverse workforce
leads to a stronger business."
The companies recognized by Newsweek are categorized by industry
and size — large companies with more than 5,000 employees and
mid-size companies that employ more than 1,000 people but fewer
than 5,000. Across these categories, Mercury stands alongside a
wide range of renowned companies on the Diversity 2024 list,
including Charles Schwab, Century
21, IBM and General Motors.
The selection methodology was created by Newsweek and partner
Plant-A Insights and involves an assessment of publicly accessible
data, interviews with HR professionals and large-scale confidential
online surveys conducted among employees from U.S. companies. The
study also included interviews with more than 223,000 employees
throughout the U.S. and collected more than 1.5 million
comprehensive company reviews, making it one of America's largest
independent workplace studies.
