Respect Comes First
More than just a value, it's a standard for how we work.
Respect is the first of our RESTORE values, and its position matters. It reflects a belief that everything else — collaboration, growth, innovation, impact and more — only works when people feel respected and supported.
At Crawford, respect means people are treated with dignity, listened to and valued for who they are. It means creating safe spaces where differences are acknowledged and voices are heard, without people having to explain or defend themselves to belong.
This commitment to respect is foundational to our culture and to the sense of belonging people experience here.
I’ve always felt respected at Crawford. I feel I am able to speak up, ask questions and be myself without hesitation. That sense of trust makes a real difference, not just in how you work, but in how confident you feel showing up every day.

Respect for who you are and what life brings
Respect shows up most clearly when people need it. At Crawford, we recognise that professional and personal lives change over time, and that the support we offer should remain consistent, human and responsive.
We support our people through real life journeys, including caregiving, health and wellbeing, family responsibilities, education and moments of transition. The goal is simple: to ensure work remains sustainable and people feel respected not just as employees, but as whole people.
Support includes:
- Pay and incentive plans that recognise performance excellence
- Benefit programs that empower financial, physical and mental wellness
- Flexible and remote working options where roles allow
- Paid parental leave and family‑supportive policies
- Online wellbeing tools and professional wellbeing coaches
- Peer support and virtual spaces for shared experiences, including menopause, caring for others and neurodiversity
- Training initiatives to promote continuous learning and career progression (learn more on our Training & Growth page)
- Crawford's Global Scholarship Program, expanding access to education and opportunity at various career stages
- A culture of respect, inclusion and belonging grounded in Crawford's values
These supports exist to demonstrate respect by meeting people where they are and supporting where they’re going.
- Crawford & Company is an equal opportunity employer
Respect that brings people together
Belonging grows when people feel respected and supported, not just by policies, but through real connection. At Crawford, we foster community by creating spaces where people can learn, share experiences and support one another across roles, regions and perspectives.
These communities are designed to strengthen connection, amplify voices and help people feel seen, supported and included at work.
Just as an example, here are a few of the ways that employees can connect:
- DEI Council — our employee-led team that fosters connection and peer support
- Women LEAD — a program supporting the development and advancement of women across the organisation
- Disability Confident Committed Employer — recognised for inclusive employment practices that support, attract and develop disabled talent
These communities exist to reinforce a culture of respect where people not only work together but feel connected to one another.
Respect for the communities we serve
Respect extends beyond our workplace and into the communities where we live and work. Our people regularly come together to support others through volunteering, fundraising and service initiatives driven by care, empathy and shared responsibility.
From our Season of Service to employee‑led efforts such as Dare to Cure and Insurance Day for Dementia, colleagues across regions contribute time, energy and creativity to causes that matter to them.
