Our different perspectives strengthen our unique culture.

Inclusive Diversity is a Core Value at Allstate

We hold each other accountable to encourage and embrace our collective differences. It’s our individual characteristics, values and beliefs, along with backgrounds and experiences that give us fresh perspective and purpose. We work harder, meet customer needs more effectively, share better, and identify more innovative ideas when we are accepted for who we are by the world around us. Our success comes from a chorus of many different voices. At Allstate, every voice counts.​

In our stand against racism, we’ve been making changes within Allstate. We’ve been listening, learning and engaging in change. We are focused on improving equity for all. That’s why we are conducting a top-to-bottom review of our operating practices, pay, promotions and hiring. Allstate is committed to long-term change not only in the way we conduct our business, but also for our employees.

“Strength lies in our differences not similarities. At Allstate, every voice counts and I am proud of our teams for holding each other accountable to encourage and embrace our collective differences. We work harder, meet customer needs more effectively and reach new heights because of the inclusive environment that fuels our success.”

– Glenn Shapiro, President, Allstate Personal Insurance, Encompass, Answer Financial

“Allstate is creating a work environment where diversity is valued, so all of our employees can reach their full potential. Without our diversity of culture, background, perspectives, and thought, we wouldn’t be the company we are today.”

-Christy Harris, Vice President Talent Acquisition & Inclusive Diversity

Celebrating Inclusive Diversity

At Allstate we focus on establishing a culture of inclusion, not just diversity. It’s about making sure that everyone feels included and that everyone’s voice matters.

Why does Allstate value inclusive diversity?

  • At Allstate, inclusive diversity is one of our core values. Actively seeking out and leveraging our collective mixture of individual differences and similarities improves business outcomes for our workforce, the marketplace, and our communities.
  • As a company we are committed to holding each other accountable for creating an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are encouraged and embraced.
  • Our commitment to inclusive diversity influences how we do business; it helps us connect with our customers and each other.

How does Allstate’s dedication to inclusive diversity impact employees?

  • The combination of our different perspectives creates an engaging and innovative workplace.
  • Individuals thrive and perform at their highest levels when our environment welcomes different perspectives, backgrounds, and cultures. This welcoming environment also helps Allstate attract and retain the best talent and reach even higher levels of employee and customer satisfaction.
  • Embracing a culture of inclusive diversity can help challenge false assumptions and nurture an openness to change.

How does Allstate’s Inclusive Diversity team support employees?

The Inclusive Diversity Team champions the cultivation of a diverse workforce and creation of an inclusive environment at Allstate. The team’s three priorities for Allstate are to enable the business to live into the core value of inclusive diversity, equip the workforce to be inclusive, and proactively leverage data, analytics and resources to optimize impact.

What does Allstate’s commitment to inclusive diversity look like in action?

There are three key programs that the Inclusive Diversity team executes to ensure we are living into our principles of diversity and inclusion.

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)
ERGs provide an open forum where employees with a shared interest aspire, develop, and collaborate. ERGs host workshops, and professional development events to help employees build knowledge and expand resources.
Inclusive Diversity Curriculum
Along with close to 20 course options, the Inclusive Diversity team also developed a tool to empower employees to take action around anti-racism and become allies in their communities.
Inclusive Diversity Commitments
The Inclusive Diversity team, in partnership with the Enterprise Diversity Leadership Council (a group of senior leaders across Allstate) and Client Partnership, worked with each business unit to develop Inclusive Diversity commitments starting in 2016. Each business area was given the opportunity to create commitments based on their own unique business needs and their current inclusive diversity opportunities.

What are Employee Resource Groups, and how do they impact Allstate?

Founded in 2006, our Employee Resource Group (ERG) program offers a way for employees to connect across the organization with individuals who may have shared experiences or want to learn about others. We regularly look for ways to mirror the diversity of our marketplace. Employees have access to eleven Employee Resource Groups to help build community and impact the business. Wherever you look, you’ll see Allstaters living our core value of inclusive diversity in events, volunteer opportunities, recruiting and retention, and more.

Our ERGs are:

  • Allstate Asian American Network (3AN)
  • African American Working Network (AAWN)
  • Abilities Beyond Limitations & Expectations (ABLE)
  • Allstate Veterans Engagement Team and Supporters (AVETS)
  • Allstate Women’s “I” Network (AWIN)
