OUR PLEDGE FOR DIVERSITY, EQUITY, AND INCLUSION
We believe a strong culture of inclusion helps us all do our best work to inspire, protect and restore our customers’ dreams. And people are our most valuable asset. That’s why we’re committed to maintaining a collaborative environment where uniqueness is valued and individuals are treated equitably. In 2019, American Family focused on building key partnerships, driving the accountability of our leaders, and embedding critical equity and inclusion learnings into the fabric of our business.
We recognize the structural barriers in our society that keep people from achieving their dreams, and we’re committed to doing our part to break down these barriers. American Family is committed to tackling systemic problems that impede equity – because it’s good for our communities and good for business.
Incorporating ‘inclusive’ as an Enterprise core value, along with resources to support employees in their day-to-day interactions with each other, and with our customers.
Creating an Enterprise demographics people report to provide leaders deeper insight into the diversity of our workforce and where gaps may be occurring.
Focusing efforts at company leadership events to build accountability toward diversity and inclusion across the Enterprise.
TYLER WHIPPLE
"This is who we are. This is who we’ve been. This is who we’ll continue to be. Diversity, equity and inclusion are part of American Family Insurance.”
American Family’s nine Business Resource Groups (BRGs) promote inclusion in the workplace by providing a network for employees who share commonality or interests, and allies to those groups. In 2020, we added four new BRGs to our family — the Black/African American Business Resource Group (BAABRG), Hispanic/Latinx Business Resource Group (HLBRG), South Asian Business Resource Group (SABRG) and the Southeast/East Asian Business Resource Group (SEABRG).
