1. Tuition reimbursement – A path to lifelong learning

"After I started working from home and no longer had to commute, I learned more about the tuition reimbursement program and realized maybe my MBA goal wasn’t as far out of reach as I originally thought," Jessyca said. "Knowing the company values not only our professional growth but also our personal growth and supports us in taking that next step in furthering our education makes me feel incredibly proud to be a part of this organization."

3. Employee Assistance Program (EAP) – Support when you need it most
Sometimes, the most valuable benefit is one that provides emotional and mental support. Ali T., a provider data consultant in the United States, describes the impact of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which provides free counseling sessions and access to resources like financial guidance, childcare referrals and legal support.*
"The EAP is an amazing resource. I have the number saved and I call when I need to talk. An amazing voice on the other end listens to what I say, helps me explore why I might be feeling that way, and most importantly doesn’t judge anything I’ve said."

4. OnePass – Fitness for every lifestyle
For those looking for exciting and convenient ways to exercise, the OnePass benefit is a game-changer. Tiff A., a creative services manager in the United States, shares her love for this subscription-based fitness program. With One Pass Select, you can get access to over 20,000 digital fitness classes, exclusive gym membership discounts and free grocery delivery service.**
"OnePass is one of my favorite benefits UnitedHealth Group has to offer. The ability to have access to a variety of gyms and studios at a monthly fixed price that is fair, is unheard of! One day I am a yogi, and the next I am hitting PRs on the squat rack," Tiff said.
With OnePass, employees can customize their fitness experience, whether they’re into yoga, strength training, or simply looking for a new fitness class to try.

Imani A., an associate user experience engineer in the United States, is an inspiring example of career mobility within UnitedHealth Group. After working as a pharmacy technician, Imani decided to explore new opportunities and made the switch to a UX engineer role on the Talent Development & Learning team.
"My manager encouraged me to apply for roles that interested me, and she made it known that I had her support in moving to another team. I am impressed with the way the organization prioritizes career mobility," Imani said. "It gives me peace of mind to know I’m working for a company that supports my career—and just me as a person in general."
From networking in internal communities to utilizing MyLearning courses, Imani had the resources and encouragement to grow into a role that aligned with her evolving career goals.
