Enhancing Centene's Culture with Employee Inclusion Groups

Centene's commitment to diversity and inclusion is a vital part of who we are and how we serve our members and communities.

To bolster our inclusive culture, we cultivate companywide Employee Inclusion Groups (EIGs). Open to all employees across our organization, our EIGs are voluntary, employee-led groups that drive impact by promoting the attraction, development, and retention of the best talent at all levels. Our EIGs are an important means of representing the diversity of the communities in which we serve.

EIGs provide professional and leadership development opportunities, contribute to community engagement initiatives, and support business innovation and corporate best practices. Because of their significant value, Centene supports the EIGs through leadership involvement, executive mentorship, and other resources.

This video spotlights the opportunities our EIGs offer employees, along with some of the amazing work that participants contribute across the company and within the communities we serve.

 

 

More than 5,000 Centene employees have joined an EIG. The mission statements of the respective groups are listed below:

ABILITY: People with Disabilities Network

• The mission of the Employees with Disabilities Employee Inclusion Group is to support and enable employees to fully contribute and reach their full potential in the workplace. The EIG works to challenge the stereotypes and stigma associated with people with disabilities and to expand disability cultural competency throughout the company. We do this by focusing on education, engagement, accessibility, talent enhancement, and community involvement in order to drive engagement and performance.

CenVet: Veterans and Military Families Network

It also promotes education and awareness, and supports employee engagement and retention.
