At Experian, we often say our people are our biggest superpower – and today, I’m thrilled to share that this belief has been recognised once again. Experian has been named one of the 2025 World’s Best Workplaces™ by Fortune and Great Place to Work® for the second year in a row.
This achievement reflects the culture we’ve built together – one that’s welcoming, inclusive, and rooted belonging. It’s a celebration of every colleague who brings their whole self to work, who lifts others up, and who powers opportunities for our clients, consumers, and communities.
We’ve made it our mission to create a workplace where everyone feels included, respected, and empowered. That’s why we’re proud to have earned top scores on the Corporate Equality Index and the Disability Equality Index, and to be recognised with the Outie Award for Workplace Excellence and Belonging.
These recognitions matter. But what matters most is how our people experience life at Experian. Whether it’s collaborating, innovating, or growing through world-class development of products, services and contributing to our communities, our culture is designed to help everyone thrive.
We’ve also made bold commitments to career development. Initiatives like Global Careers Week, the AI-driven performance coach Nadia, and the NextGen Forum – a global leadership development programme for emerging talent from across our regions – give our people the resources to take charge of their growth and build a “One Experian” mindset.
Being named one of the World’s Best Workplaces is a moment to celebrate but also a reminder to keep aiming higher. The world of work is evolving fast, and so are we.

Experian North America CEO Victor Nichols recently was recognized by the Consumer Credit Counseling Services of Orange County, California, as its 2014 Community Hero of the Year for his commitment to consumer financial literacy. Mr. Nichols and Experian are proud to have been honored with this award. Experian has long been committed to consumer financial literacy and removing the mystery surrounding credit reports and scores, and that commitment has not wavered. More than 20 years ago, Experian became the first national credit reporting company to establish a dedicated consumer education team. Over the ensuing two decades the company has used creative outreach, combining traditional materials and online technology with powerful partnerships to reach consumers of all ages and economic circumstance with critical financial information, tools and resources. Here are just a few examples of what Experian has done and continues to do to help people become more financially capable: In 1995, Experian was a founding partner of the JumpStart Coalition for Financial Literacy, an organization that advocates for mandatory financial literacy coursework in our schools. Five years ago Experian provided a grant to JumpStart to launch the first national teacher’s conference for financial educators and continues to sponsor this event annually. In 1997, we launched Ask Experian, the industry’s first online consumer credit advice column. Published continuously since, consumers submit on average more than 1,000 questions each month. The company awards financial literacy grants in excess of $300,000 annually to support innovative consumer financial education programs conducted by non-profit organizations. Grants have facilitated programs that reach hundreds of thousands of consumers each year including high school and university students, military personnel, minority communities, the underbanked, and cities particularly hard hit by the recession. Our education partners include the National Foundation For Credit Counseling, the Center for Financial Services Innovation, the Credit Builders Alliance, the National Consumers League, the InCharge Institute, the Mission Asset Fund and Call For Action. Recently, Experian established an Education Ambassador program to train its own employee volunteers so that they can support outreach programs in communities across the country. Social media has further enabled us to talk directly with people about critical financial subjects. Our weekly #CreditChat is always a lively discussion and is open to anyone who would like to join in the conversation on Twitter every Wednesday and 12 p.m. Pacific time. Learn more about Experian’s commitment to consumers and find tips on how to live credit smart.

Experian’s State of Credit report recently highlighted the credit savviness of four generational groups, and showed how differently they manage their financial obligations. As you’d expect, there were several intriguing findings, so we extended the research to see how these same generational groups would differ when it comes to buying a vehicle. In a recent analysis of market trends in the automotive industry, Experian Automotive looked at vehicle registrations, and examined the car buying habits of Millennials (up to 32 years old), Generation X (33-48 years old), Baby Boomers (49-67 years old) and the Silent Generation (68-85 years old). Interestingly, Millennials and Generation X had similar taste in the new vehicles they purchased, differing only in order of preference. The Honda Civic, Ford F-150, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 made up the top five for Millennials, while the Generation X list consisted of the Ford F-150, Honda Accord, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Toyota Camry and Honda Civic. Baby Boomers shared a similarity with Generation X, as the F-150 was also their vehicle of choice. The rest of the top five new vehicles for Baby Boomers were the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry and Honda CR-V. The top five for the Silent Generation consisted of the Toyota Camry, Ford F-150, Honda Escape, Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata. Other findings from the analysis included: • Twenty-five percent of new vehicles financed by the Silent Generation were leases • Generation X and Baby Boomers purchased vehicles with the highest average values in the quarter, $29,494 and $28,764, respectively • Baby Boomers purchased the highest percentage of Hybrid vehicles (47 percent), while Millennials purchased the lowest (9 percent) • Baby Boomers purchased the highest percentage of new import vehicles and new domestic vehicles at 42.5 percent and 43.2 percent, respectively
