]]>State Farm plans to increase the size of its Claims workforce by approximately 10%, or about 3,000 employees in 2027.

]]>Throughout 2027, State Farm plans to increase the size of its Claims workforce by approximately 10%, or about 3,000 employees. The company is investing in training, developing, and recruiting more Good Neighbors to help people recover from the unexpected and serve its expanding customer base and their needs.

State Farm currently has approximately 30,000 Claims employees across the country. The planned workforce growth represents a significant investment in additional capacity as State Farm continues to grow and serve more customers.

Today, as the largest insurer of homes and autos, State Farm handles nearly 11 million claims each year - an average of more than 30,000 per day.

“The people who work in Claims at State Farm are on the front lines of delivering the promise we make to our customers,” said Executive Vice President Chris Schell. “When someone experiences an accident, storm, or other unexpected loss, they need knowledgeable people - supported by leading technology - who are ready to help. We’re investing in our Claims team so we can continue delivering the service our customers expect while giving our employees greater capacity to learn, develop, and build their careers.”

The additional capacity reflects the continued growth of State Farm and the evolving complexity of the claims environment. New vehicles and technology, changing repair methods, and increasingly significant severe weather events continue to change the skills and capabilities required of claims professionals. As customer needs evolve, State Farm’s Human + Digital approach will continue pairing better tools and technology with the judgment, experience, and human connection of its people.

“We have talented people who care deeply about helping customers,” said Executive Vice President Chris Schell. “We continue to invest in our people to ensure they have the capacity, tools, and opportunities they need to do their best work today and into the future.”

Hiring is already underway. State Farm plans to hire approximately 5,500 people into Claims throughout 2027 as it evaluates staffing alongside attrition, customer demand, and growth - ultimately increasing the size of its Claims workforce by approximately 10%, or about 3,000 employees.

Individuals interested in Claims opportunities can learn more and explore available positions through the State Farm careers website.

]]>State Farm and Arizona State University today announced the introduction of a new education and career development program called Pathways for the Future. The program will provide a personalized approach to higher education with a focus on innovative & technological skills, fueled by a $30 million contribution from State Farm.

As emerging technologies rapidly transform the workplace, experts predict significant displacement and demand for new skills to fill future jobs. The ability to adapt, learn, and transition to new and emerging employment opportunities will be essential for workers worldwide. Pathways for the Future is designed to address these changes, focused specifically on high school students, community college and university students, and career professionals who wish to compete for new and evolving jobs in the changing marketplace.

“Technological change holds enormous promise and the potential for job creation. It also challenges employees, employers and students and presents a change we all must adapt to,” said State Farm Chairman and CEO Michael Tipsord. “Today represents a new milestone in our relationship with ASU and builds on our corporate commitment to prepare not only for what’s coming, but for what is already happening. We look forward to growing this commitment with ASU and working together to build the workforce of the future through universal learning.”

With the online nature of the program, State Farm’s gift will enable ASU to assist many more learners regardless of their location and will provide students access to the transfer and transition tools which support curriculum pathway mapping and sequencing. This component will also help people discover career interests and provides a way for ASU to share pertinent information with mid-career adults and to students navigating higher education options.

There are four targeted groups for the Pathway Program, including:

  • High School Students
  • Maricopa County Community College Students
  • Arizona State University Students
  • Employees, already in the workforce, wanting to learn new skills, including State Farm employees

“State Farm has been a good neighbor to ASU for the past several years – our aligned values and our mutual commitment and investment of human and financial capital makes for an ideal partnership in Pathways for the Future,” said ASU President Michael M. Crow. “We believe strongly in the evolving model of universal learning, making higher education available to those from all socioeconomic backgrounds at any point in their lives. This is what the workforce of the future needs and what we hope to accomplish with State Farm. Together, our goal is to help people work through what will be a significant transformation in the economy.”

The program has three specific Academic Tracks, including STEM/Engineering, Business/Leadership and Humanities/Social Sciences. For more information on the tracks and complete program details, please visit: https://pff.asu.edu/. The Pathways for the Future portal can be accessed here.
