The Pillars of an Award-Winning Program
Travelers Insurance was selected as a 2023 Campus Forward Award Winner for their unwavering commitment to seeking out and hiring early career talent, their emphasis on diversity & inclusion, and investments in nurturing and retaining the next generation of talent. Please see below for the highlights of their approach to early career recruitment.
Demonstrated Investment in Early Career Hiring
Consistent with the long-term perspective Travelers brings to managing its business, the company views its human capital management through a long-term lens. The talent and expertise of its approximately 30,000 employees are critical to maintaining competitive advantages in a rapidly-evolving business landscape. And it is Travelers employees who collectively drive its performance and fuel its ambitious innovation agenda. Travelers recognizes that maintaining its talent advantage requires a sustained investment in its people. When the company delivers on its promise to its employees and their families, promoting an inclusive workplace and committing to their wellness and success, it is able to deliver on its promise to its customers and drive shareholder value.
Innovative and Multi-Faceted Approach to University Recruitment
Travelers is focused on inspiring the next generation of insurance professionals and actively encourages students and graduates to explore career opportunities in the insurance industry and, in particular, at Travelers. To help the company attract new talent to the industry, Travelers has long-standing affiliations and partnerships with a number of organizations that share that mission, including InVEST, Insure My Path, and Gamma Iota Sigma.
Overarching Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion
Travelers’ signature career pipeline program, Travelers EDGE®, provides a unique, holistic approach to education for underrepresented students. Through partnerships with colleges, universities and community-based organizations, Travelers EDGE increases access to higher education and provides students with opportunities to excel. Travelers also has strategic partnerships with Girls Who Code and AnitaB.org to help the company mentor and attract the next generation of women in technology.
Impactful Internship Program
The Travelers Summer Internship Program is a vital component of its talent acquisition strategy, as it has been developed with conversion to full-time employment in mind. Choosing an internship at Travelers will allow students to make immediate — and lasting — contributions through meaningful real-world experiences that help people manage risk, recover from losses, and secure their future. Interns have the opportunity to network with senior leaders, while gaining first-hand business experience and taking on projects with bottom-line impact that can advance their technical skills. Interns also get to meet other program participants from across the country, attend career development workshops, enjoy seminars and social functions, and work with an assigned mentor. Finally, interns get the opportunity to convert to a full-time program and receive competitive compensation and more.
Growth and Development of the Next Generation of Talent
Travelers’ approach to human capital management starts with its innovative talent acquisition strategies, which are designed to help the company attract the best people from a broad pool of talent. Once they join Travelers, the company seeks to provide its employees with development programs that foster personal and professional growth, and an inclusive environment in which employees feel valued and engaged, allowing them to maximize their potential. And throughout their careers with Travelers, the company seeks to provide comprehensive benefits and equitable and competitive compensation plans.
