At insurance giant Allstate, president, chair, and CEO Tom Wilson has identified a method for both attracting new talent and ensuring existing talent continues feeling valued in such a market: prioritizing purpose and treating every worker like they’re an Allstate customer.
He and his senior team at Allstate carried out that mindset shift during the pandemic, Wilson recalled during an exclusive interview with Fortune Connect.
“We say, we’re selling you a job. That job comes with some professional work, some personal growth, some money, and an inclusive environment,” Wilson explained. “And you pay us for that with your expertise, your engagement, your loyalty, your commitment, and the extra 10% of the work.”……………..
“We found out flexibility really sells and, you know, nobody wants to drive to an office to do a Zoom call, and they don’t have to,” Wilson said. “And commuting is way overrated.”
