Recruiting

Esurance is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to diversity and to providing an environment where each individual is respected and supported. Our culture reflects these values and celebrates the individuals who make up our growing team. We hope that cooperation and teamwork will thrive in this culture, resulting in individuals and the entire organization achieving the highest standards of performance and potential.

Training for associates

Once on board, our associates are given access to a wealth of resources and training materials, including a Diversity and Inclusion Awareness workshop, an in-depth and interactive course aimed at preventing workplace harassment, and The Little Things Mean A Lot™ Workshop, which focuses on how seemingly little things can help make our organization highly productive, creative, and innovative.

Training for managers

Managers are also provided a range of resources and training designed to help them navigate the ever-changing workplace environment. Part of their training includes The Diversity and Inclusion Awareness Workshop for Managers, which all Esurance managers completed in 2009, and Employment Law Boot Camp, designed to support the development of future leaders.

Matching gifts program

Esurance takes pride in giving back to the community through a variety of charitable programs. The Esurance Matching Gift Program gives associates the opportunity to have donations to their favorite nonprofit organizations matched dollar for dollar by Esurance.

In 2009, a total of 247 associates participated in the program for a grand total of $84,565, which, of course, we happily matched.

Volunteering initiatives

Through our Give Time/Get Time program, Esurance rewards associates with paid time off for volunteering.

Additionally, when an associate volunteers 8 hours to one organization, Esurance will donate to that organization through Dollars for Doers.

Esurance Grant Program

Through the Esurance Grant Program, associates can vote for organizations they'd like to see receive a charitable endowment from Esurance. Last year, Esurance donated over $55,000 to associate-submitted causes. Winning organizations near 11 of our office locations each received a $5,000 grant and volunteer support from the company.

Domestic partner discounts

At Esurance, we're committed to equality and diversity — qualities we strive to bring to communities across the nation. As one of the first companies to offer discounts to domestic partners who list on the same policy, we also promote and sponsor Pride events around the country.

Community commitment

As Esurance grows, so does our commitment to giving back to the communities in which we live, work, and play. Last year, 17% of Esurance associates nationwide logged 1,586 hours of community service. They donated valuable time to volunteer organizations chosen through the Esurance Grant Program as well as many others. The causes that benefited from their volunteer efforts were as diverse as Esurance and included homelessness, veterans affairs, and the arts.

Urban reforestation

Since we wrote our first policy in 1999, Esurance has been committed to environmentally friendly business practices.

In 2005, we took this initiative a step further and began planting trees in or near our customers' communities to compensate for the paper that's inevitably used in day-to-day office life. Since then, we've planted more than 100,000 trees. A noteworthy accomplishment and one we're proud of.

Our award-winning commitment to diversity

Esurance has earned a 100% score in the Human Rights Campaign's Corporate Equality Index due to our non-discriminatory practices in the workplace, with our customers, and in the world at large.

In addition, Clear Channel has named Esurance a recipient of its first-ever Bay Area Workplace Diversity Award. The award acknowledges Esurance's efforts to create and maintain a workplace where diversity and equality thrive.
