A culture of support

A culturally diverse group of business professionals.

Many Northwestern Mutual financial representatives didn't start out in the financial industry—the unique background they bring is what helps them succeed in their business, with their clients, and in their communities. Here's how we support and build a culture of success:

  • The Women's Field Association of Northwestern Mutual is over 2,200 members strong and was built by women to advance women in all roles.
  • Northwestern Mutual is dedicated to helping close the racial wealth gap through initiatives like our $100 million Impact Investing Fund to support Black communities nationally and locally and our Black Founder Accelerator program powered by gener8tor.
  • You'll have the opportunity to pursue advanced professional certifications with financial support, mentorships, joint work opportunities, and more.
  • Community support is a key part of our culture. Our offices across the country work with nonprofits to create real impact nationally, and in our neighborhoods.
