We're true to our name, and we've created a culture where our people can be true to who they are. We are committed to making our company and our communities equitable for all. At Progressive, diversity, equity and inclusion are fundamental to our Core Values. We're committed to creating an environment where all people feel safe, welcomed, valued and respected. With so many acts of racism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia in our communities, this commitment is more important than ever. We stand in solidarity with communities of color, the LGBTQ community and other marginalized groups and we encourage our people to discuss these all-too-prevalent issues with our leadership team, with one another, and with our Employee Resource Groups, which you can learn more about on this site. We also believe that our nation is strongest when everyone has a voice and a vote, and we have encouraged and enabled our people to exercise their right to cast a ballot. We stand against efforts that may prevent any person from fully participating in our democracy. We know our words and actions alone aren't enough to bring about broader change, so we are working to help enact change at a higher level through my involvement with the Business Roundtable and as a member of the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion. Much work lies ahead in our communities and we are committed to being part of the solution. TRICIA GRIFFITH President & Chief Executive Officer Our Culture CULTURE Living our values Our culture is rooted in our Core Values. These values aren't just words on a poster; they guide our decisions and define how we treat our customers and each other. We invite discussion Our unique backgrounds and viewpoints mean we naturally have differing opinions. At Progressive, we see this as a good thing and have created programs to provoke substantive conversations. Our Courage at Our Core and Dare to Disagree workshops, along with our Courageous Conversations and Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Speakers Bureau events, bring us together to tackle challenging topics like bias, racism, and equity. Conversations like these are commonplace at Progressive and reinforce our commitment to an open environment where we not only encourage but expect our people to share their opinions and perspectives. We also go beyond simply providing unconscious bias training. We're focused on engaging deeply in challenging ourselves and others to be our best selves while becoming better allies and sponsors. Our goal is to create a community where employees and customers feel welcomed, valued, and respected. Diversity and inclusion in action We see D&I reflected in our Core Values of Integrity and the Golden Rule, and we show it in the way we treat each other, our customers, and our communities. Our diversity enables us to understand and anticipate the needs of our customers, and inclusion ensures that we leverage the ideas and efforts of all Progressive people. Since the early 2000s, we've had an intentional focus on diversity and inclusion and an appreciation of the critical role it plays in our success. Like everything at Progressive, we continue to grow and evolve. We're currently focused on four primary objectives, which have been in place for several years.

Representation and growth Our customer service and claims employees are the face of Progressive and represent the customers we're so proud to serve. As Progressive people continue to advance their careers at the company, we expect that our entire workforce will reflect the communities, backgrounds, and experiences of our customers. In 2020, we hired more than 5,000 people and promoted nearly 600 new managers. The growth in our business has created tremendous opportunity for advancement, and more than a quarter of our people moved into new positions last year. Promotion from within isn't new to us; it's part of the fabric of our culture. Last year alone, we filled nearly 80% of our jobs above the entry level by promoting our own talent.

Equal pay We're proud to report that for Progressive employees with similar performance, experience, and job responsibilities, women earn one dollar for every dollar earned by men, and people of color earn one dollar for every dollar earned by their white coworkers.* We recognize that our commitment to pay equity requires our constant attention, and we take regular steps to ensure that our people's compensation reflects their performance, experience, and job responsibilities, and nothing else. We'll report our pay equity measures annually. *In evaluating pay equity companywide, we use a regression model that considers the following components of compensation: annual salary, bonus (Gainsharing) and stock awards. These are point-in-time measures (as of January 2021) that include all Progressive employees other than our CEO and the C-level executives whose compensation is approved by the Board's Compensation Committee.
