HARTFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV)
today announced that it has been named one of America’s Best Employers
for Diversity by Forbes.
The 2019 list features the top 500 companies as decided by a survey of
more than 50,000 Americans.
“Ensuring a workplace where our employees feel valued, respected and
supported — and are in turn empowered — is a business imperative for
us,” said Fred Colon, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer at Travelers.
“It’s an honor to be recognized for our commitment to fostering a
diverse and inclusive environment.”
Travelers has taken many steps to support its diverse and inclusive
culture, including adding an inclusive leadership objective to all
managers’ performance objectives, fostering partnerships with diverse
professional organizations, sustaining eight employee-led diversity
networks and conducting an interactive diversity education program to
help employees better understand how to leverage differences for shared
success.
Travelers has also been recognized by Forbes as one of America’s Best
Employers since 2015, as well as one of America’s Best Employers for
Women and America’s Most JUST Companies in 2018.
In collaboration with the analytics firm Statista, Forbes determined the
list of America’s Best Employers for Diversity based on an independent
survey of people working for companies with 1,000 or more U.S.
employees. Survey questions were related to age, gender equality,
ethnicity, disability, LGBTQ+ and general diversity. Other factors
considered in the ranking were the companies’ percentage of women among
the top executives and on the board of directors; level of management
position responsible for diversity; and frequency of proactive
communications related to diversity.
