The Best Workplaces in Financial Services and Insurance is one of a series of rankings by Great Place to Work® and Fortune® based on employee survey feedback. To prepare the 2018 list, Great Place to Work applied its data-driven methodology to anonymous Trust Index™ survey responses, evaluating more than 50 factors that shape employees’ experience at work, including employee pride in the organization’s community impact, belief that their work makes a difference, and feeling their work has special meaning. Rankings are based on employees’ experiences, no matter who they are or what they do.
“Great Place to Work is proud to have these Best Workplaces show that maximizing human potential creates a great workplace and drives business performance,” said Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “Organizations like First American set the bar for other Financial Services and Insurance companies, proving that if you invest in your people, they will invest in you.”
