Many different perspectives make us stronger.

To fulfill our mission of helping people live healthier lives, UnitedHealth Group focuses our diversity and inclusion efforts in four main pillars:

• Workplace
  UnitedHealth Group believes in recruiting, developing and retaining a workforce that mirrors the multicultural communities we serve. A mix of different backgrounds and perspectives helps us develop the strong products and programs our customers need.
• Customers 
  Diversity allows us to incorporate a wide variety of approaches and perspectives into all aspects of our business, which truly helps our customers—and our bottom line.
• Suppliers 
  UnitedHealth Group partners with suppliers that reflect the markets we serve. They include small businesses owned by minorities, women, veterans, or businesses located in underused business zones. Supporting a diverse group of local businesspeople contributes to the expansion of America’s most rapidly growing market.
• Communities 
  UnitedHealth Group collaborates with a wide range of community organizations through volunteer work and community giving. This helps us reach our goal of promoting healthy living, preventing disease, and improving quality of care.
