What It's Like to Work at Liberty Mutual Insurance

At Liberty Mutual employees are empowered to develop and contribute meaningful ideas that help us respond to the needs of our customers, clients and communities. We encourage employees to solve for today’s biggest opportunities through programs that expose, educate and empower them to employ new innovation methodologies and approaches.

In one sentence, why does the mission matter to your team — and what decision did it guide recently?

As global risk experts, we help people navigate a changing world — anticipating disruptions on the horizon, preventing and mitigating setbacks and supporting recovery when disaster strikes, so they can focus on what’s next. Our purpose shapes the products we build, how we grow and develop employees through meaningful careers and how we show up for people — often in the most challenging moments of their lives. When we deliver on our purpose, we help entire communities and economies thrive.

Which community or customer initiative best demonstrates your mission — and how is it measured?

Our purpose goes far beyond any single initiative or program. Without the insurance we provide, the everyday risks people face would be too great — whether it’s commuting to work, opening a business or moving goods around the world. Our purpose isn’t defined by any single program; it’s reflected in how we show up for customers every day. 

When the devastating wildfires displaced families in California, we helped them find safe housing. After Morocco’s 2024 earthquake, we supported communities rebuilding their lives. And today, we’re investing in organizations to help expand clean, reliable energy. At Liberty Mutual, our purpose is simple — to make life’s uncertainties easier to navigate.

Do employees believe the mission is real? Share a moment or ritual that proves it.

Our employees live our purpose every day!

One of the clearest examples comes after a major event, when people need help finding a path forward. Within hours, teams from across the company work together with a shared urgency to understand the loss, support customers and stabilize communities. There’s no stronger example of our purpose in action than in those moments; it’s instinctive. That collective response is part of who we are as an organization and it shows how deeply our people believe that what we do matters.
