SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--First American Financial Corporation (NYSE: FAF), a premier provider of title, settlement and risk solutions for real estate transactions and the leader in the digital transformation of its industry, announced today the company has earned the 2026 Military Friendly^® Employer award, which celebrates an organization’s comprehensive efforts in creating an inclusive workplace environment and providing meaningful opportunities for military-affiliated individuals to thrive and succeed.

“Hiring and supporting the careers of service members, veterans and their family members is a core element of how we find talented, driven people,” said Mark Seaton, chief executive officer of First American Financial Corporation. “We have the utmost respect for their military service and find their experience prepares them well to contribute to our world-class culture and help us deliver for our customers.”

Institutions earning the Military Friendly Employer designation were evaluated using both public data sources and responses from a proprietary survey of more than 1,200 companies. Final ratings were determined by combining an organization’s survey score with an assessment of its ability to meet thresholds for recruitment, new-hire retention, employee turnover, and promotion and advancement of veterans and military employees.

“Earning the Military Friendly designation is more than a badge; it’s a reflection of deep-rooted values and strategic foresight. These organizations don’t just open doors for veterans, spouses, and service members; they build pathways for lasting impact,” Kayla Lopez, vice president of memberships at Military Friendly. “Their commitment isn’t performative; it’s transformative. It’s proof that honoring military talent is not only the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do.”
