About our company
Helping people protect what they love most — since day one
Who we are
Guardian has been helping people protect their future and secure their lives for more than 160 years. Every day, we serve 29 million people by helping them and their families pursue financial confidence and well-being in life, health, and wealth. We help families find financial confidence and help people plan for retirement. We help companies take care of their employees. And we help both recover and thrive in times of unexpected loss.
Today, we provide life insurance, disability insurance, dental insurance, and other benefits for individuals, at the workplace, and through government-sponsored programs. And as one of the largest mutual insurance companies, we know what matters most: putting the needs of our customers first. Because everyone deserves 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 three simple but powerful ideals: do the right thing, hold ourselves to high standards, and know that people count.
Today, the people of Guardian 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.
