SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
First
American Financial Corporation (NYSE: FAF),
a leading global provider of title insurance, settlement services and
risk solutions for real estate transactions, announced today that Fortune®
and Great Place to Work® have recognized First American as
one of the 2017
Best Workplaces for Diversity for the second consecutive year. The
ranking considered more than 440,000 employee surveys from organizations
in a wide range of industries across the U.S.
“Our employees have made it clear that they value diversity and
inclusion, and earning a spot on this exclusive list two years running
is a reflection of that. This win indicates that we’re living up to our
philosophy of putting people first,” said Dennis Gilmore, CEO, First
American Financial Corporation. “It is also a reflection of the culture
our employees have helped to define – a culture based on the values of
integrity, commitment, service, leadership and teamwork.”
According to Great Place to Work, the Best Workplaces for Diversity
stand out for their consistent leadership and the meaningful ways in
which employees contribute to their organizations. Tenure for women and
people of color was higher at the leading employers than at their peers.
In several business sectors, the winning organizations also reported
turnover two to three times lower than industry averages.
“The Best Workplaces for Diversity have achieved something beyond basic
fairness. They find ways to connect with each and every employee,
listening to their challenges and building on their talents,” said
Michael Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work.
To create the ranking, Great Place to Work evaluated employee survey
results on more than 50 elements of employees’ workplace experience,
including professional development, behaviors linked to innovation,
leadership confidence and consistent treatment among employees of
different backgrounds. The ranking also accounted for the share of
women, people of color, Baby Boomers and LGBTQ individuals in the
workplace.
Earlier in 2017, Fortune® magazine and Great Place to Work
recognized First American as one of the 100
best companies to work for in America and one of the 2017
Best Workplaces for Women for the second consecutive year, as well
as one of the 40
Best Workplaces in Financial Services.
First American has earned recognition as a “best place to work” 54 times
in publications across the United States since 2012. Internationally,
the company’s Canadian subsidiary, FCT, was named by Great Place to Work®
as one of that country’s Top 50 Best Workplaces for three consecutive
years (2015, 2016 and 2017).
The Best Workplaces for Diversity is one of a series of rankings by
Great Place to Work® and Fortune® based on
employee survey feedback. To see the complete list of the 2017 Best
