Progressive Car Insurance Named One of the 50 Best Places to Work in the U.S. for Latinas

Diversity and Recruiting Efforts Help Land Progressive on LATINA Style 50

MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--LATINA Style magazine has named Progressive car insurance to the LATINA Style 50, the magazine’s annual list of the best companies for Latinas to work for in the U.S.

“At Progressive, we believe it’s important to have people with different backgrounds and experiences to bring new perspectives to business challenges”

LATINA Style evaluates more than 800 companies in the Fortune 1000 based on their leadership programs, employee benefits and Latina representation in senior positions. Progressive earned a spot on the list in part because of its Hispanic/Latino employee resource group, which meets regularly to promote an inclusive workplace, and its Hispanic and Latino recruiting efforts. Progressive recruiters advertise for jobs at Progressive on and in Hispanic/Latino job boards and publications. They also work with local Hispanic Chambers of Commerce in Austin and Sacramento, both of which are cities where Progressive has a large presence.

“At Progressive, we believe it’s important to have people with different backgrounds and experiences to bring new perspectives to business challenges,” said Nestor Lopez, chair of Progressive’s Hispanic/Latino employee resource group.
