2022 was a year of dynamic progress for Humana’s diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging efforts. Highlights of our progress included:

• Launch an enterprise-wide commitment to cultural competence and awareness for leaders and employees in 2022. As a result, over 94 percent of Humana’s executive leadership have completed cultural competency professional development.
• Achieve our highest representation of BIPOC talent in 21.5 percent of Director or higher roles. We hired new BIPOC talent through requisition in 36 percent of Lead and Associate Director roles in 2022, up from 31 percent in 2021.
• Build on Humana’s promise to enhance a diverse talent pipeline through continued partnership with OneTen, participation in the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Partnership Challenge  and a successful skills-based hiring pilot.
• Continue to advance our culture of inclusivity with approximately 7,800 employees engaged in individual mentorship at work and many others participating in group mentorship programs like Catalyst’s Men Advocating Real Change Dialogue Teams (MDT) and Transformational Leadership for Multicultural Women (TL MCW). Of 123 employees who graduated from the TL MWC program, 47 percent reported receiving a promotion, job shadowing, stretch assignment or visibility opportunities during the program.
• Invest $408 million with diverse suppliers, representing 8.85 percent of our total spend, and continued our Supplier Diversity Mentor-Protégé Program.
• Advance our culture of belonging through employee-led network resource groups (NRGs) in which over 15,000 employees are involved, representing 30 percent of our workforce.
• The Humana Foundation donated more than $22.5 million to advance health equity for seniors, veterans, underrepresented populations and school-aged children to support living connected, healthy lives. Humana donated $34.8 million to additional charitable causes, bringing our combined philanthropy contributions to roughly $57.3 million.

“Building a culture of belonging at Humana is at the heart of our commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion,” said Carolyn Tandy, Senior Vice President, Chief Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer. “DEI contributes to better outcomes for our members. We will continue to do the work to ensure every employee, vendor partner and community feels valued and supported in their growth and opportunity with us.  Great outcomes are achieved when we do it together.”

Celebrating diverse backgrounds and creating an environment of inclusion is at the heart of Humana. We take intentional steps to nurture a culture where all employees, no matter who they are, feel like they can be their best selves and do their best work. Only then can we make the best decisions for our customers to ensure that they have a fair and just opportunity to be as healthy as possible. We are thrilled to be recognized by DiversityInc for our culture of inclusion and belonging. We know that our work is far from done, and we remain committed to our journey of advancing equity for our employees, our customers and the communities we serve.
