Symetra Earns Third Consecutive Spot on Fortune's Best Workplaces in Financial Services & Insurance List

Symetra Life Insurance Company has been named to the Fortune Best Workplaces in Financial Services & Insurance list for 2025, marking the company's third consecutive year receiving this recognition. The ranking places Symetra at number 29 among large organizations in the category, demonstrating consistent performance in employee satisfaction and workplace culture excellence.

The selection process for this prestigious list involved analyzing confidential survey responses from over 1.3 million employees, representing the experiences of 8.4 million U.S. workers across 2024 and 2025. More than 194,000 responses specifically came from employees at Great Place To Work Certified companies within the financial services and insurance industry. Great Place to Work, a global authority on workplace culture with three decades of survey experience, provided the robust benchmarking data that informed the 2025 rankings.

Anne-Marie Diouf, senior vice president and chief human resources officer at Symetra, expressed pride in the achievement, noting the company's commitment to creating an environment where employees can contribute meaningfully and build careers. The employee survey results substantiate this commitment, with 92% of Symetra staff affirming it is a great place to work—significantly higher than the 57% average at typical U.S.-based companies. Additionally, 96% of employees reported feeling welcome upon joining the organization, and 95% expressed positive sentiments about the company's community contributions.

This recognition adds to Symetra's growing portfolio of workplace accolades, including multiple appearances on the Fortune Best Workplaces for Women list (2022, 2023, 2024), Fortune Best Workplaces for Millennials (2024), Fortune Best Workplaces for Parents, and Forbes America's Best Midsize Employers (2023). The company has maintained its Great Place to Work certification since 2022, further validating its sustained commitment to fostering an exceptional work environment.

For HR vendors serving the financial services and insurance sector, Symetra's consistent recognition provides valuable insights into effective workplace practices that drive employee satisfaction and retention. The company's high performance metrics—particularly in areas of inclusion, community engagement, and overall employee experience—offer benchmark data that can inform talent management strategies across the industry. The sustained nature of these recognitions suggests that Symetra has implemented systemic cultural practices rather than temporary initiatives, providing a model for other organizations seeking to improve their workplace environments.
