Description

At Genworth, we empower families to navigate the aging journey with confidence.

We are compassionate, experienced allies for those navigating care with guidance, products, and services that meet families where they are.

Further, we are the spouses, children, siblings, friends, and neighbors of those that need care—and we bring those experiences with us to work in serving our millions of policyholders each day.

Our four values guide our strategy, our decisions, and our interactions:

Make it human. We care about the people that make up our customers, colleagues, and communities.

-
Make it about others. We do what's best for our customers and collaborate to drive progress.
-
Make it happen. We work with intention toward a common purpose and forge ways forward together.
-
Make it better. We create fulfilling purpose-driven careers by learning from the world and each other.
