Morristown, N.J., June 16, 2025 – Crum & Forster (C&F) has been recognized as one of the Fortune Best Workplaces in New York™ 2025, marking the fourth consecutive year the company has received this prestigious honor. The award, which highlights large companies headquartered in New York and the tri-state/New York Metropolitan Statistical Area, is based on the rigorous Great Place To Work® certification and, most importantly, on what current employees say about their experience working at C&F.
To determine the Fortune Best Workplaces in New York™ List, Great Place To Work® collected nearly 145,000 confidential survey responses from employees at eligible companies using its proprietary Trust Index™ platform. Companies were evaluated on their ability to foster consistently positive experiences, build trust at every level, and create an environment where employees feel valued and empowered.
“Being recognized for the fourth year in a row is a testament to the dedication and spirit of our people,” said Barbra Katz, Chief Human Resources Officer for Crum & Forster. “At C&F, we believe that when employees are supported, respected and encouraged to bring their authentic selves to work, they can achieve extraordinary things—both for our clients and for each other. This award reflects our ongoing commitment to nurturing a culture where everyone can thrive.”
The Great Place To Work® survey measures the core elements that define exceptional workplaces—trust in leadership, connection with colleagues, and a sense of pride and purpose. Employees provide confidential feedback on leadership accessibility, communication, respect, fairness, opportunities for growth, and the overall sense of belonging.
Highlights from the most recent Great Place To Work® survey of C&F employees include:
- 96% of employees say C&F is a great place to work (compared to 57% of employees at a typical U.S.-based company)
- 96% of employees said they are proud to work for Crum & Forster
- 98% of employees said they feel welcomed when they join the company.
To be eligible for the Fortune Best Workplaces in New York™ list, companies must be Great Place To Work-Certified™, have at least 10 U.S. employees, and be headquartered in New York State or the New York Metropolitan area. The Best Workplaces in New York list is highly competitive, and honorees are selected based on the breadth and consistency of positive employee experiences.
“At C&F, we know that our success is built on the collective talents and diverse perspectives of our team,” said Katz. “We are committed to providing an environment where every employee feels empowered to grow, innovate and make a meaningful impact—both within our organization and in the communities we serve.”
