PHILADELPHIA, July 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company (Penn Mutual) is proud to be Certified^™ by Great Place To Work^® for the fifth year in a row. The prestigious award is based entirely on what current employees say about their experience working at Penn Mutual.

"Great Place To Work Certification is a highly coveted achievement that requires consistent and intentional dedication to the overall employee experience," said Sarah Lewis-Kulin, Vice President of Global Recognition at Great Place To Work.

"Earning Great Place To Work Certification for the fifth consecutive year is incredibly meaningful because it reflects the voices and experiences of our employees," said Liz Heitner, Chief Administrative Officer at Penn Mutual. "Our culture is built every day through the way Penn Mutual employees collaborate, care for one another, embrace new ways of working, and stay focused on the financial professionals and policyholders who depend on us. This recognition belongs to our people. We're grateful for the role they play in making Penn Mutual a workplace where people feel valued, connected, and empowered to do their best work." 

Penn Mutual's certification is based on employee feedback collected through the Great Place To Work's Trust Index^™ survey. This year's feedback reinforced many of the qualities that define the Penn Mutual employee experience, including a modern, flexible, and high-trust workplace; a culture rooted in respect and collaboration; strong connections with managers and teams; and approachable leaders who listen and act on feedback.
