MAYFIELD VILLAGE, Ohio,
Sept. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire/
-- The Progressive Group of Insurance Companies plans to fill
more than 1,300 roles by the end of 2016. They include IT and
analyst roles, as well as customer care and claims roles across the
country.
Progressive has long been recognized as an innovator in the IT
and big data fields and intends to continue to grow in this area by
hiring top caliber technology and analytics professionals. Its
culture of experimentation is evident in its Innovation Services, a
multi-pronged effort consisting of four pillars including its
Business Innovation Garage (BIG). BIG is an internal think-tank
open to employees, enabling them to set up and run experiments,
design and build prototypes, uncover results, and share key
learnings for various business solutions.
"Progressive is looking for software developers and data
analysts who will help propel our innovative and growing company
forward," said Steve Broz, Chief
Information Officer at Progressive. "Our employees have an
opportunity to tackle challenging work and make an impact on
millions of customers and claimants, as well as our nearly 30,000
employees."
Progressive offers employees the opportunity to work on
developing and refining programs such as Snapshot®, its
usage-based insurance program, which was the first of its kind.
Snapshot has allowed Progressive to collect and analyze more than
15 billion miles of driving data to help them better predict
driving behaviors – a big breakthrough for the industry. The
company also recently teamed up with app developer TrueMotion to
create the software for Snapshot mobile, which is slated to roll
out in select states later this year.
In addition to IT and analyst roles, Progressive is hiring for
key roles in inbound sales and customer service roles, which are
critical to helping customers find the right policy for them,
providing service throughout the policy ownership experience, or
assisting customers with their claims.
"At Progressive, our view is that we're in this together," said
Erin Hendrick, TalentSearch Leader
at Progressive. "We understand that our employees are passionate
about their work and value the need for work-life balance, while
delivering great products, services and experiences to our
customers. We offer extensive training programs and career
development options, flexible work arrangements, resources to help
employees balance work and home life and a casual work environment.
At some of our larger locations, we offer on-site medical
facilities for employees and their families and fitness centers. We
also share Progressive's success, as most employees are eligible
for an annual bonus based on company performance."
