First American Financial Corporation (NYSE: FAF), a leading global provider of title insurance, settlement services and risk solutions for real estate transactions, announced today that the company is one of the 2019 Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For®, according to Fortune and global research and consulting firm Great Place to Work®. This marks the fourth year in a row that First American has earned a place on the Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For® list.

“Our people and the integrity, commitment and teamwork they display each and every day have earned our position as one of the best companies to work for, now for the fourth straight year,” said Dennis J. Gilmore, CEO, First American Financial Corporation. “It’s our strong belief that putting people first matters, and this philosophy begins with our employees and extends from there to our customers, our shareholders and the communities in which we work.”

First American was among hundreds of companies evaluated for placement on the list. The evaluation is based on survey feedback representing more than 4.3 million employees, with respondents rating their workplace culture on 60-plus elements of the workplace. These include trust in managers, compensation, fairness, camaraderie and workplace traits linked to innovation. The ranking accounted for the experiences of all employees, including women, people of color, LGBT individuals, older team members and disabled employees.

“The 2019 100 Best are the leaders in creating the most innovative workplaces built on trust,” said Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place to Work. “Employees at these organizations feel valued, respected and heard, and are inspired to be their best selves because of the commitment these winning companies have made to creating a great workplace for all employees, no matter who they are or what they do for the company.”

In 2018, Fortune® magazine and Great Place to Work recognized First American for the third consecutive year as one of the Best Workplaces for Women and one of the Best Workplaces for Diversity, as well as one of the Best Workplaces in Financial Services and Insurance for the second year in a row.
