Our Culture
The Power Of We
With a unique culture built on integrity, superior capabilities and grit, we value teamwork, trust and courage. We think of ourselves as a team, so we have teammates—not employees, and leaders—not managers.
Everything we do is about the greater “WE”—never “me.” While diverse in abilities and experience, we are all connected through our core values, a commitment to our local communities and a shared mission—always doing what is best for our customers.
A Meritocracy
Work Hard. Get Rewarded.
We are a Meritocracy, meaning our people are rewarded and elevated based on their merit, hard work and professional achievements. Teammates who demonstrate a proactive mindset, an entrepreneurial spirit and “can do” attitude thrive in our dynamic organization.

Health.
Family.
Business.
In that order, always.
Your Health Comes First
We encourage a healthy work-life balance and pride ourselves on our commitment to the health and well-being of our teammates and their families. This value is regularly communicated across the organization, starting with our president and chief executive officer, Powell Brown. We believe successful teams thrive when healthy teammates are supported and encouraged to prioritize their well-being.
The Brown & Brown Difference
Growth Focused
Our commitment to growth isn’t just about our business—it’s about our people. We provide opportunities for our teammates to develop, evolve and build lasting careers. By fostering an environment where growth is encouraged and success is celebrated, we empower our people to thrive today, tomorrow and beyond.
Ownership Mindset
We are proud to provide opportunities for teammates to have ownership in our Company and create personal wealth through stock purchase plans, our 401(k) and long-term equity grants. 56% of U.S.-based teammates and 7% of non U.S.-based teammates are shareholders in our company. Remarkably, 20% of Brown & Brown is owned by teammates.
Culture of Caring
We have a long-standing history of public and community service. With thousands of teammates in hundreds of locations worldwide, our Culture of Caring is demonstrated by our team’s dedication to the many communities in which we live and work. We believe that a commitment to giving back helps to build a better organization, and our team is passionate about serving those in need.
The Cheetah
A Symbol for Our Culture
Since our beginning, we have known that doing what is best for our customers requires constant persistence and vision. The cheetah, which represents vision, swiftness, strength, and agility, embodies our company culture and has served as a symbol for Brown & Brown since the 1980s.
Brown & Brown proudly supports cheetah conservation and the work of the Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF) and Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre in South Africa.
