Bringing out the Best in You

A career at Safeco can bring out the best in you. It starts with our Leadership Traits — being innovative, courageous, collaborative, driven, accountable, and most importantly, focused on our customers. Living our Leadership Traits helps us make an impact on our company, customers, and community.

Externally focused

Being externally focused means we ask for and listen to the customer's point of view. We know about the latest advancements in the market and in our field, and we offer superior solutions that go way beyond the"same old" products.

Even if your job doesn't put you in direct daily contact with customers, it is imperative to be EXTERNALLY FOCUSED. Everyone's role and performance impact our customers every day. It takes all of us, working together, to deliver Safeco's promise to our customers.

- Eric Martinez
  Executive Vice President, Claims, Customer Care & Procurement, Safeco

Innovative

Being innovative means constantly looking for new solutions and refusing to accept the standard way of doing things. We relentlessly seek knowledge and strive for groundbreaking ideas that are ahead of the competition.

Being INNOVATIVE is not an option; it is essential to catapult our company into the future. We can’t afford to sit around and wait for inspiration to strike. We all need to actively search for new and better ways to do business.

- Mike Hughes
  Executive Vice President, Insurance Operations, Safeco

Courageous

Being courageous means we dare to take chances in order to win big. Wemay risk failure, but we will grow as we learn, and we will boldly try again, taking a stand to move Safeco forward.

Being COURAGEOUS means having the bold integrity to be honest and take calculated risks day in and day-out. It is not something you have to think about; it is simply what you do.

- Jeff Diana
  Senior Vice President, Human Resources, Safeco

Collaborative

Being collaborative means recognizing the power of teamwork. We all need to rely on others to succeed. We understand and demonstrate that everyone matters by engaging and encouraging others.

By working together in COLLABORATIVE teams, we pool our strengths and rise above mediocrity. Together we can eliminate the redundant and sometimes conflicting processes that hold us back.

- Ross Kari
  Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Safeco

Driven

Being driven means we dive into our work and get things done. Our competitive spirit leads others to accomplish great things. We also take the unexpected in stride. We are agile and persistent, and never settle for less than our best.

When we are DRIVEN, we continuously strive for excellence. By demanding flawlessness, the outcome is nothing short of transformational for ourselves, our customers and our company.

- Art Chong
  Executive Vice President, General Counsel, Safeco

Accountable

Being accountable means we think things through, and then commit to deliver. We are quick to share the glory with everyone involved, and are just as quick to step forward and offer solutions when results fall short of expectations.

In many large organizations it's easy to talk a good game or hide behind the actions of a group. I get excited about someone who is ACCOUNTABLE for delivering results by overcoming obstacles and saying "I own this, no excuses".
