Named one of DiversityInc’s 25 Noteworthy Companies for second
consecutive year
HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Travelers (NYSE: TRV)
today announced it has been selected as one of DiversityInc
magazine’s 25 Noteworthy Companies. This is the second consecutive year
Travelers has been recognized for its diversity and inclusion efforts,
and was selected from more than 1,000 participating companies.
Recognition is based on an annual survey by DiversityInc that
measures CEO commitment, human capital, corporate and organizational
communications and supplier diversity.
“We strive to incorporate diversity into everything we do at Travelers,
and we are honored to be recognized by DiversityInc for our
continued efforts,” said Joelle Murchison, Vice President of Enterprise
Diversity and Inclusion at Travelers. “A commitment to diversity and
inclusion is imperative to our corporate culture, the success of our
business and is part of what makes Travelers a great place to work. It
is an effort that is promoted and supported throughout all levels of our
organization.”
Diversity takes shape in many different ways at Travelers, including:
-
Partnering with diverse professional organizations including INROADS,
The POSSE Foundation, the National Black MBA Association and the
Association of Latino Professionals in Finance and Accounting.
-
Launching employee-led diversity networks focused on the attraction,
retention and development of all Travelers employees, many of whom are
engaged by the company’s leaders to influence business strategy. More
than 5,000 employees have joined at least one of the Diversity
Networks to date, more than double what most employers see according
to a study conducted by Mercer on employee resource groups.
-
Supporting the company’s signature education program, Travelers
EDGE: Empowering Dreams for Graduation and Employment. EDGE is
designed to increase the number of underrepresented individuals who
complete a bachelor's degree and are prepared for a career at
Travelers or within the Insurance and Financial Services industry. The
program was lauded
by the Pell Institute as a “model” on the “cutting edge of college
access and success support.”
