CERITY
Digital workers compensation insurance for small businesses -- direct, simple, and online.
Overview
Cerity is a direct-to-business digital workers compensation insurance carrier and wholly owned subsidiary of Employers Holdings, Inc., a specialist in workers compensation insurance with over 100 years of operating history. Founded in 2018, Cerity was purpose-built to serve small business owners through a fully online, self-service experience that enables employers to get a quote and purchase a policy in minutes without an agent.
The company positions itself as a modern alternative to traditional insurance by leveraging Employers Holdings' deep actuarial expertise and risk models to deliver automated underwriting and instant pricing through a digital-first platform. Coverage is available in 46 states and can be bound same-day for most industries.
In 2024, Employers Holdings began integrating Cerity operations more closely with its parent company to eliminate fixed underwriting expenses from the direct-to-consumer channel, while Cerity has continued expanding its distribution through technology platform partnerships.
