CSAA Insurance Group Named to Seramount Inclusion Index

WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Nov. 1, 2022 – CSAA Insurance Group, a AAA insurer, has been named to Seramount’s sixth annual Inclusion Index, which recognizes leaders in creating an inclusive workplace.

The Seramount Inclusion Index is designed to help organizations understand trends and opportunities in demographic representation, create a roadmap to drive internal change, and identify diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) solutions to close any gaps. Organizations provided data and were measured in three key areas:

• Best practices in the recruitment, retention and advancement of people from underrepresented groups (women, racial/ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ people)
• Inclusive corporate culture, including leadership accountability
• Demographic diversity for women and racial/ethnic minorities

This year, 175 organizations applied to participate in the Seramount Inclusion Index. With a score of 78%, CSAA Insurance Group is among 36 organizations recognized as a Leading Inclusion Index Company, receiving a 70% or higher score. Seventeen of those listed on the 2022 Inclusion Index are recognized for superior achievement as Pinnacle Inclusion Index companies, which is defined as those receiving an 80% or higher score. Fifty-four of those listed on the 2022 Inclusion Index achieved at least 60% of the available points to qualify for the overall index.

“Our 3,400-employee workforce covers a wide range of backgrounds, interests, perspectives and experiences,” said Melissa Jones, executive vice president and chief human resources officer at CSAA Insurance Group. “We believe this diversity is what makes CSAA great and better enables us to serve our customers, so we devote significant resources to not only building diversity at all levels of the business, but also building the programs and infrastructure that make everyone across our spectrum of talent feel welcome and valued.”
