Social
We’re committed to maintaining an inspired workforce through competitive compensation and benefits, a professional atmosphere, personal and career development opportunities, work/life balance, and responsive leadership. We advance issues of global and national importance and support the communities where we work and live.
UN Global Compact
Verisk joined the UN Global Compact in 2019. We support and commit to making the principles of the UN Global Compact part of our corporate strategy, culture, and day-to-day operations.
Human Rights Policy
Verisk's research and work on behalf of customers calls attention to actual and potential human rights abuses across the world. In committing to this Policy, we acknowledge our responsibility to respect and uphold human rights in our workplace and sphere of influence, including the supply chain that sustains us and the communities where we live and work.
Statement on Modern Slavery
Verisk publishes a Statement on Modern Slavery pursuant to legislation enacted in the United Kingdom. The legislation was designed to promote business practices and policies that protect employees from abuse by their employers or within the employer’s supply chain. Generally, the term “modern slavery” encompasses forced labor, human trafficking, and other abhorrent practices that exploit workers.
Our Culture
We continually strive to develop a diverse workforce, involve and empower all our employees, and encourage collaboration throughout the organization. Surveys conducted by outside organizations and our own annual employee engagement survey—a continuous loop of engagement, feedback, action, and change—indicate that we’re achieving the desired results in these critical metrics.

We employ approximately 8,700 individuals around the world, with a mix of skills and talents in areas including commercial banking and finance, data science and artificial intelligence, economics, information technology, marketing, natural resources, predictive analytics, and statistical modeling.

Charitable Giving

We also support the communities where our offices are located and address challenges of interest to our employees.
Verisk Volunteer Week
Every year since 2014, employees around the globe have spent a week giving back to our local communities through Verisk Volunteer Week. Verisk team members have donated blood, cleaned local parks and beaches, tutored local students in STEM, organized drives for clothing and books, helped in animal shelters, and more to improve communities where Verisk operates across the globe. Despite a worldwide pandemic, and associated national and local restrictions, employees found ways to safely volunteer as part of the company’s eighth annual Verisk Volunteer Week around the world. In 2022, nearly 860 employees participated by donating blood, cleaning local parks, building affordable homes, and more to improve 48 communities across 14 countries.
