Company Allows Team Members to Choose Where They Want to Work – Office, Home, Hybrid.
Beginning January 3rd, 2022, Mercury Insurance is rolling out Mercury’s My Workplace, a new business model that will allow team members to choose where they want to work. It will give many of the company’s team members the freedom to work from home, which may be anywhere in the United States, from the office, or a hybrid combination of both.
“Mercury Insurance has learned a lot about how our team members work and how they have taken care of our policyholders, themselves and their families during the past two years,” said Heidi Sullivan Lopez, Mercury Insurance Vice President and Chief Human Capital Officer. “We want to empower them to be their best selves while also providing our customers with the best possible customer service, and we’ve learned that doesn’t have to be from a corporate office.”
