Mercury Insurance has earned a prestigious recognition from Forbes, identifying it as one of America’s Best Employers for Women in 2026. This acknowledgment highlights the company's ongoing endeavors to nurture an environment that promotes career advancement and leadership opportunities for women. The Forbes recognition stems from direct feedback from employees, assessing various criteria including workplace culture, professional development opportunities, work-life balance, pay equity, parental leave policies, and the presence of women in leadership roles.
Gabriel Tirador, the CEO of Mercury Insurance, emphasized the invaluable contributions of women to the company's success over the decades. He stated, “Women have helped shape Mercury's success for decades. Our objective is to provide every team member with the opportunities to grow professionally, make significant contributions, and pursue leadership roles.

Jenny Chan, Chief People Officer at Mercury Insurance, remarked, “This recognition carries special significance as it mirrors the experiences of our team members here at Mercury. Our commitment to creating opportunities for women is not just a one-off initiative; it is embedded in our daily recruitment, development, and support processes. We want our employees to envision a future with fulfilling careers, advancing into leadership roles where their contributions are appreciated.”
