Index® for third consecutive year
The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today announced that
it has earned a top score on the Disability Equality Index® (DEI)
for the third consecutive year, maintaining its distinction as a
Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion. Administered by

and policies related to organizational culture, leadership,
accessibility, employment, community engagement and supplier
diversity.
“Fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment where
employees feel valued, respected and supported is a business
imperative for us, and it’s an honor to be recognized for our
efforts,” said Fred Colon, Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer
at Travelers. “We support several programs that help bring greater
awareness to the disability community, including our disAbility
& Allies Diversity Network, an employee-led resource group that
focuses on breaking down barriers and emphasizing an individual’s
abilities.”
Among other initiatives, Travelers supports its employees with
disabilities by providing a centralized team that is committed to
addressing accommodation requests. The company also partners with
external state agencies and colleges to create job shadowing
events, internships and job training placement programs that serve
the needs of candidates across a range of disabilities.
Travelers is a member of the Autism @ Work Employer Roundtable

to promote and advance employment for individuals with
disabilities.
