At UnitedHealth Group, we recognize the diverse roles women play in their personal and professional lives. Our mission to help people live healthier lives and help make the health system work better for everyone, extends to our employees, creating a supportive and flexible work environment that acknowledges and adapts to the unique needs of working parents and caregivers. Here's how we're making it happen:

"As a working mother, it seems like I have two roles, the responsibilities of which often clash. My daughter is 7 years old now, and under my organization's RaiseWell program, I've got the perfect resolution for all my predicaments. I have been enrolling my child into various fun and educational online sessions, such as coding sessions for kids, foreign language sessions, magic tricks, arts and crafts activities, and so much more. All free of cost. It gives my child a productive and creative avenue to channel her time and energy. It also helps me to focus on my work, rest assured that her time is well spent."

Bhavani T., a senior software engineer, highlights the empowering impact of mentorship and community amongst women in our company, "I have always felt the need for mentorship and career guidance from other women in tech who have successfully worked on a similar career path before me."

Through our United Women Leading in Technology program, Bhavani found a platform that bridged this gap, connecting her with women leaders across the globe. She adds, "This has helped me to understand the importance of learning new skills, staying up to date on developments in my field, networking, and most importantly, self-leadership."
