Lifelong friends: Kimberly and Lillian
Nearly eleven years ago, Kimberly and Lillian embarked on their UnitedHealth Group journey as appeal processors. It was in their division's training class that they transitioned from strangers to a tight-knit family with their fellow trainees. Our company's focus on work relationships played a significant role in their professional lives and personal development.
"UnitedHealth Group has always made it a mission to magnify the importance of work relationships," Kimberly reflected. This resonated deeply with them, as they made a lasting connection.
In a heartfelt post shared on UnitedHealth Group’s intranet, Kimberly recounted a memorable trip that celebrated more than a decade of friendship with Lillian:
"Last week I was able to experience the birthday of a lifetime in Dubai with my very best friend. We met over 10 years ago right here in our training class. This is your sign that work relationships are just as important as any other relationship."
As they progressed in their careers, their bond expanded beyond the office walls. "Once we began working remotely, we decided to continue having virtual potlucks and engagements as a team to continue the team bonding we had experienced thus far," the testimonial shared. Their relationship has been a source of mutual inspiration, leading them to pursue degrees, invest in real estate and support each other's aspirations.
Their story highlights the value we place on internal relationships and the company's commitment to fostering a culture where employees can thrive both personally and professionally.
