Culture of Caring
Our Culture of Caring
Protecting property ownership is only one way our employees make a difference in our communities. Here at Stewart, we care for the communities we live in and serve. From company culture, customer service, to community and sustainability initiatives, our Culture of Caring stretches across the globe.

Inclusion and Belonging
We know that having an equitable and inclusive culture engages employees, inspires innovation and enables us to bring the best we can offer to the customers and communities we serve. Inclusivity is a reflection of our core values and an essential part of who we are as a company. We know that our strength lies in our people and the unique perspectives and experiences they bring to our collective success.
Everyone Seen, Everyone Heard, Everyone Celebrated
With the establishment of our Global Inclusion Council, Stewart is committed to representing, supporting and serving marginalized communities and groups with clear action in our outreach and service processes. We strive to provide everyone the opportunity to succeed while valuing the strength our different perspectives and experiences foster.
Strengthening Our Employee Value Proposition
Here are a few of our accomplishments in this area:
- We expanded our Stewart Wellness Program globally to all countries in in which we operate.
- Launched a flexible Paid Time Off Program for U.S. employees, designed to support physical, social, and emotional well-being. The new program enhances our existing time-off offerings such as paid holidays, floating holidays, Childbirth and Bonding Paid Leave, Volunteer Time Off, and more.
- Partnered with an outside firm to complete a global engagement survey, which resulted in Stewart earning the recognition of 2024 Top Workplace in the U.S., as well as receiving special recognition in the areas of Employe Well-Being and Professional Development.
- Expanded our charitable giving through The Stewart Title Foundation, giving our employees an opportunity to support any cause that’s important to them, and we contribute annually to several human rights and social justice organizations nominated by our employees through the program.
Giving Back to Our Communities
The Stewart Title Foundation is a part of our larger effort to give back to the communities where we work and live. Through our employee-lead Community Service Awards program, Stewart Scholarship fund, donation commitments to enterprise partners and board of directors charitable matching gift program, we expanded our giving more than 25% over our 2022 total in 2023.
Our Partnerships
Community Service Awards
Our Community Service Awards program recognizes the generous actions of our U.S. employees with a donation to organizations of their choice. Starting in 2021, the company provided awards from the Foundation to those charitable organizations, further supporting employees’ efforts in their local communities.
Since 2021, we’ve seen a 64% increase in Community Service Awards (472 in 2021 to 778 in 2023). Here is the breakout by cause for 2023:
Stewart Scholarship Fund
Since 1994, Stewart has supported continuing education for high school seniors and undergraduate students by awarding yearly scholarships to students whose parents work for Stewart. In 2023, we awarded 68 students with scholarships, more than in any other year.
