Diversity and inclusion at work

Work like a good neighbor

Our workplace is shaped by how we interact with each other and our customers. Every conversation, every new idea, and every interaction is influenced by our good neighbor philosophy. State Farm associates work together to create an environment that invites different viewpoints, and where the unique qualities of each associate are respected and valued. We are made stronger by the diverse talents and experiences we bring to our work, and we’re united in serving our customers.

Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) offer a way for employees to connect, learn, and share insights that benefit them, the Company, our customers, and our communities.

ERGs at State Farm are formed around the following groups:

Asian
Black/African American
Generations
Hispanic/Latino/Latina
LGBTQ
Men
Military
Parents/Families
People with Disabilities
Women

ERGs support the business and engage employees in many ways including:

Promoting networking, mentoring and employee development activities
Providing diverse perspective on business challenges and opportunities
Fostering community relationships through outreach and volunteerism
Building awareness of diverse cultures
