Innovating for a healthier tomorrow
2011 ANNUAL REPORT
26
At WellPoint, we take pride in creating a culture in which individual ideas, perspectives and
experiences are valued and respected. WellPoint associates are better able to help us
achieve our mission because they reflect the diversity of our employers, members, physi-
cians, suppliers and shareholders, as well as the communities in which they live and work.
As part of our commitment to building a world-class workforce, we partner with professional
organizations and schools—and with our own diverse associates through eight voluntary
Associate Resource Groups—to recruit, retain and develop diverse professionals.
A key focus of our diversity efforts is our commitment to work with a wide range of suppli-
ers. We seek to include diverse suppliers in each bidding opportunity, and our supplier diver-
sity program continues to grow each year. WellPoint is a founding partner of the US
Business Leadership Network (USBLN) Supplier Diversity Program, which supports vendors
with disabilities.
But, don’t just take our word for it. WellPoint is frequently recognized for our commitment to
diversity and inclusion. In fact, we’ve been named a top company by DiversityInc Magazine,
Working Mother Magazine, and the National Association for Female Executives (NAFE),
among others.
