#NationalVolunteerMonth offers us the chance to share our passion for giving back to the communities where our employees live and work. One of the ways we support those in need is through our “volunteer time” benefit, which allows employees to engage in volunteer work while on the clock. At GEICO, we value offering our employees ways to serve the community year-round, both inside and outside of work. If you want to join a company with a culture of caring, learn more about our opportunities at https://on.gei.co/careers. hashtag#lifeatgeico
This Women’s History Month, GEICO Reaching Out to Women (GROW), one of our Employee Resource Groups, hosted volunteer events at multiple Dress for Success locations. Our employees worked together to assemble over 300 “Success Bags” filled with supplies for women embarking on new career journeys. From clothing drives and fundraisers to leadership events like Women Who Inspire, our decade-long partnership with Dress for Success Worldwide has given our team the opportunity to bond while contributing to women’s economic development. We are inspired by all our charitable partners’ wide-ranging work and are proud that our culture of volunteerism helps our employees give back to the community. hashtag#WomensHistoryMonth hashtag#LifeAtGEICO

The annual employee program gives employees the opportunity to pitch their favorite charity and gift them with a grant on behalf of GEICO.

In a year with so many great ads, it is truly an honor for GEICO's Legend of the Lizard documentary to earn a spot on ADWEEK's "20 Best Ads of 2024."
