About our company
Who we are
Every day, Guardian serves 29 million people through a range of insurance and financial products. We go above and beyond to help people and their families pursue financial security, and we inspire well-being within our communities. We ensure companies can take care of their employees and help individuals thrive after unexpected loss.
From our founding in 1860, we have believed in doing the right thing for our policyholders and customers.
And as one of the largest mutual insurance companies, we know what matters most: putting the needs of our customers first.
Behind every bright future is a Guardian.
What we stand for
In 1860, a community of immigrants joined together to insure and protect their businesses and families. They were guided by powerful ideals that we’ve continued to stand behind and evolved throughout the years: we do the right thing, we believe people count, we courageously shape the future together, and we go above and beyond for the people we serve.
Guardian employees embrace and live by these values every day. They remind us to put people at the heart of all we do so that we can help protect what matters most to you.
Want to help bring these values to life? Join us for a rewarding career and the opportunity to shape the future.
History
Since our first policy was issued to a cigar merchant on July 17, 1860 to today, we have lived by our defining values throughout our history.
