Recognition underscores Progressive's award-winning, people-first culture and its commitment to helping employees and customers move forward and live fully.
MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Progressive earns the top spot on the Forbes America's Best Employers for Company Culture 2026 list. This recognition highlights the incredible people who truly shape its culture – one where its people are seen, heard, and valued.
"We're honored by this recognition and incredibly proud of the award-winning culture we've built together at Progressive," said Bill Clawson, Progressive's Chief Human Resources Officer. "When you combine a healthy culture with high engagement, real opportunities for career growth, and a chance to make an impact beyond the work, you create a place where people want to stay and do their best in service to each other, our customers, and our communities."
A Company Where Employee Voices are Heard
Listening to employees and acting on their feedback is central to how Progressive builds and sustains its culture. This year, the company launched Progressive Listens, a companywide employee listening initiative to strengthen feedback channels and improve how employees experience communication and collaboration. Progressive also receives employee feedback through its annual Gallup Engagement & Culture Survey, where the company consistently performs in the 98th percentile of all companies surveyed by Gallup.
Taking feedback received through the survey, 1:1 conversations, Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and other feedback channels, Progressive has intentionally designed employee benefits and programs around what its people say matters to them and the communities in which they live and work. Some of these meaningful changes in recent years include:
Leadership's Commitment to Culture
Culture at Progressive is a top‑down commitment. With most of its workforce in a remote or hybrid setting, onboarding, talent development, and employee engagement have been reenvisioned.
In 2025, the insurer launched Destination: Progress, its reimagined employer brand campaign designed to show that although job seekers may come to Progressive for a job, they can stay for a career. CEO Tricia Griffith regularly meets with new hire classes to personally welcome them, explain Progressive's Core Values, and share examples of how they come to life every day. She and the executive team live by the principle "our people before us," which means prioritizing employees' voices and responding to them before responding to a fellow executive.
"We view our culture as a continuous journey, not a finished product, and one we take together," Clawson said. "We expect leaders at every level to create an environment where people can share their perspectives and can risk, learn, and grow. We're willing to try new things, listen carefully to what works and what doesn't, and keep evolving so our culture remains engaging, vibrant, inclusive, and aligned with our Core Values."
Award Methodology
