Company named a Best Place to Work for
Disability Inclusion for the sixth consecutive year
The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today announced that
it has earned a top score on the Disability Equality Index® for the
sixth consecutive year, upholding its distinction as a Best Place
to Work for Disability Inclusion. Administered by Disability:IN and
the American Association of People with Disabilities, the
Disability Equality Index is the world’s most comprehensive
benchmarking tool to measure a company’s policies and practices
related to disability workplace inclusion.
“Through employee resource groups, specialized programming and
partnerships with community organizations, we’re fostering an
environment where everyone has the opportunity to succeed,” said
Lauren Young, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer at Travelers.
“Diversity and inclusion is a business imperative for us, and
achieving a top score on the Disability Equality Index is a
testament to those efforts.”
As part of the company’s commitment to providing an inclusive
culture, Travelers maintains eight Diversity Networks, which aim to
increase inclusion, engagement and retention for employees from
traditionally underrepresented groups and their allies. Its
Disability & Allies Diversity Network has grown to include more
than 2,600 members and focuses on building disability awareness,
appreciation and connectedness at work and in the community.
Travelers also has a centralized team dedicated to addressing
accommodation requests and ensuring that employees with differing
needs have the resources to be successful in their roles. In
addition to its initiatives for current employees, the company
partners with state agencies and universities to provide
internships, placement programs and shadowing events for
neurodiverse students. Since 2018, Travelers has been a member of
the Neurodiversity @ Work Employer Roundtable, an interdisciplinary
group of employers working to establish more neurodiverse-friendly
hiring practices. The company is also a founding partner of the
University of Connecticut’s Center for Neurodiversity &
Employment Innovation.
Over the years, Travelers has been recognized by a number of
organizations for its neurodiverse-inclusive culture. Accolades
include the Employer of the Year award from Lifeworks, a
Minnesota-based nonprofit that promotes employment and advancement
for people with disabilities; the Employer of the Year award from
the Connecticut chapter of Disability:IN; and the Award of
Excellence from Autism Services and Resources of Connecticut.
