Connected Communities

Connected Communities Lead to a Thriving Society

As a purpose-driven company, we help our customers maximize opportunities in a connected world in a way that contributes to a thriving society. We do this by focusing on creating an inclusive workplace where employees have opportunities to learn and grow; supporting communities through investing our time, skills, and resources where needed; and creating superior experiences for our customers.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Our commitment to DE&I focuses on fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workforce that reflects the clients, consumers and global markets we serve and supports innovation. This requires embedding DE&I in all areas of Assurant’s business model, as we believe that a diverse workforce leads to improved talent attraction and retention, a more engaged and motivated workforce, increased development of innovative services that are core to our long-term success, and improved client and customer experience. Our DE&I Strategic Pillars — Workforce, Workplace, and Marketplace — position Assurant to be a stronger and more innovative company.

Talent and Engagement

We promote a strong culture that engages employees and supports growth, innovation and business performance. We believe in the importance of recognizing and rewarding performance and empowering and motivating employees to succeed personally and professionally. For our third consecutive year we have performed our enterprise-wide employee listening program that provides opportunities for anonymous feedback that provides insight into employee sentiment.
