Our values

Trust, respect, honesty and integrity are much more than just words at Nationwide. These – along with focusing on customers and valuing people – are our core values and at the heart of who we are.

It’s living these values that makes Nationwide associates a family. And the values provide the cornerstone for our culture. We seek creativity and new ways of thinking, knowing these come from people in all walks of life. We embrace inclusion because we understand that only through appreciating the richness of our diversity will we find the innovative ideas to set us apart from our competition.

Working together across boundaries, we share a bias for action and a passion for results. And, we think it’s important to have fun along the way. Nationwide challenges associates to deliver our On Your Side promise to customers and rewards that high performance. We strongly support individual development and provide opportunities for associates to try different things, learn new skills and hone their talents through their careers with us.
