Mercury Insurance Earns Spot on Forbes 2026 Best Employers for Women

The recognition evaluates several benchmarks, including the efficacy of parental leave policies, work-life balance initiatives, and the actual representation of women in senior leadership roles. For Mercury, this accolade follows its earlier designation this year as one of Forbes’ America’s Best Midsize Employers, signaling a consistent effort to retain talent through structured career development.

CEO Gabriel Tirador credited the company’s long-term success to the contributions of its female staff, noting that the firm remains committed to sustaining an environment that prioritizes internal growth. Jenny Chan, Chief People Officer at Mercury, emphasized that the ranking carries weight because it originates from the employees themselves rather than external audits. The insurer, which operates across 11 states with a network of over 6,300 independent agents, maintains that fostering a diverse workforce is essential to improving business collaboration and client service.
