In February 2009, Allstate initiated a Careers at Allstate social network fan page in an effort to increase the company’s exposure to a new generation of young and emerging professionals. Allstate’s social network page Employee and Intern Spotlight introduces the web site’s visitors to actual employees of Allstate, who share information such as job title, stories, their history with the company, as well as whatever personal information the employee may have chosen.
In the late 1930’s, Allstate was the first car insurance company to develop a rating classification system that gave better rates to safe drivers. In the 1950’s, it opened its first drive-in claim office, which was the first of its kind. In the 1960’s, Allstate played a part in convincing the government to make seat belt use mandatory. In the 1970’s and 80’s, Allstate played a roll in advocating airbag safety. Allstate set up the Allstate Foundation in an effort to establish community based programs, which includes the Teen Safe Driving program and the Economic Empowerment for Domestic Violence Survivors.
To name only a few of its awards and recognitions, Allstate ranked #5 in Fortune magazine’s America’s Most Admired Companies in the Property and Casualty Industry in 2007, was rated among the 100 Best Companies for Working Mothers by Working Mother magazine as a Hall of Fame Inductee (1990, 1992-2008) and Top 100 in Global 2000 Companies by Forbes magazine (2006, 2007).
