Investing in those who support our customers and partners

We believe that investing in our people is key to building a sustainable business. By enabling the success of our team, we empower them to better serve our customers and partners. Creating this culture of support and responsibility benefits everyone involved in our business for the long-term.

Supporting our teammates

Achieving our mission starts with prioritizing our most valuable asset: our people. We’re supporting our teammates by expanding mental health benefits, introducing a new wellness platform and strengthening our culture.

Creating a strong culture
We’re proud to create an environment where teammates can thrive. This commitment is recognized by the Great Place to Work Certification, among other awards.

Engaging and developing teammates

Becoming better protectors means fostering connection and relationships across our distributed work environment. That’s why we’ve introduced programs to engage and develop our teammates, from wherever they are.

Fostering diversity, equity and inclusion in and across teams

We’re advancing a culture of inclusion by implementing intentional changes and launching employee initiatives that allow us to learn, connect and grow together. Learn about the DEI efforts that have contributed to our recognition as a Top Company Leader in Diversity and Inclusion by the Birmingham Business Journal.

Growth networks

To continue driving powerful conversation, awareness and learning, we launched unique Growth Networks. These peer-led communities bring together individuals of like identities and shared experiences, and their allies, to foster connection among our diverse teammates.

Uncomfortable conversations series

Fostering candid conversations between teammates can create greater empathy. Our Uncomfortable Conversations series creates a space for dialogue during Black History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Pride Month and the National Disability Employment Awareness Month.

HBCU Corporate Challenge

We’re proud to join the effort to strengthen public-private investments in historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). Our pledge to the HBCU Partnership Challenge helps ensure future sustainability, increase career prospects for HBCU students, and advance diversity and inclusion within all sectors of employment.

Cultural observance day

Fostering a culture of inclusion enables everyone to thrive and contribute to our shared success. Keeping with this commitment, we give all teammates a cultural observance day, allowing them to take time away from work to observe a religious or cultural day of their choosing.

Expanded development programs

Many of our teammates can participate in development opportunities such as:

  • Aspire, an internal leadership program designed to accelerate development of emerging leaders.
  • CoThryve, an external year-long program that engages and supports leaders.
  • McKinsey’s Connected Leaders Academy, a program that develops teammates from underrepresented groups. In 2022, we expanded teammate participation in the Black, Hispanic & Latino and Asian Leadership cohorts.
