The Distributed Workforce Bet — Working at Allstate When 75% Work From Home

Allstate moved 95% of its global workforce to remote work in a single weekend during the 2020 pandemic, then made the bet permanent: today 75% of Allstate's workforce is home-based, 24% hybrid, and only 1% office-based. That decision shaped recruiting (job applications jumped 23%, with 33% more diverse applicants), management (a "Leading at Allstate" program required for all 7,000 managers), and the unspoken expectations behind every "tell me about a time you collaborated remotely" question. This module unpacks what working at Allstate actually looks like and how to answer behavioral questions tuned to a distributed culture.
