In The Workplace
From the workforce to the workplace to the marketplace, diversity is a concept that touches every aspect of business at WellPoint. It's also a guiding principle in the relationship between our associates, partners and consumers, particularly in the communities in which we live and work.
For us, it's not about quotas or physical descriptors. We see diversity as a unique approach to solving business challenges, communicating with our various audiences and learning from our differences and similarities.
From our Board of Directors, to our thousands of talented associates, diversity plays a vital role at every level of our organization. The result is a better understanding of the challenges we face, and a greater ability to create solutions that improve health care and quality of life.
Associate Resource Groups (ARG): Grassroots groups of associates that support diversity initiatives aimed at addressing barriers and closing gaps for targeted groups. There are currently seven ARGs at WellPoint: African American, Women, LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender), Hispanic, Asian, Young Professionals, Veterans and Associates with Disabilities.
Diversity and Inclusion Ambassadors: An innovative approach to weaving diversity and inclusion into the fabric of our organization. Associates from different office sites across the country volunteer their time to promote awareness and understanding of WellPoint's diversity efforts. They plan activities and events to celebrate diversity observances and company sponsored celebrations.
Diversity Training: At the core of our diversity initiatives are our diversity training and education programs. All new leaders go through diversity awareness during their New Leader Orientation Conference to ensure they understand and embrace WellPoint's philosophy about diversity and inclusion. Associates have access to a comprehensive diversity online learning course, as well as to an online diversity toolkit that provides practical tools on how to create dialogue about and effectively manage diversity-related situations.
