WellPoint’s unique approaches, in-
cluding its Associate Resource Groups (ARGs) and its diversity ambassador program, are part of the reason for its continued national recognition in di- versity. WellPoint’s ARGs are volun- tary, associate-driven groups open to all WellPoint associates. These groups center around one of the many dimen- sions of diversity -- most commonly race, gender, cultural background, dis- abilities, sexual orientation and gen- eration. ARGs are considered a key initiative to attract, retain and develop diverse talent; build a culture of inclu- sion; leverage internal diversity exper- tise; enhance customer connections, and provide leadership development opportunities for associates. WellPoint also has more than 250 associates who are diversity and work- place culture ambassadors from dif- ferent business units and job levels

that reflect the diversity of the associ- ate population. Ambassadors act as frontline advocates and role models of WellPoint’s values and commitment to diversity and inclusion. These, along with many other diversity and inclusion initiatives allow WellPoint to continue being on the forefront of organizational inclusion and diversity policies. Now in its 12th year, Profiles in Di-
versity Journal is a bi-monthly maga- zine focusing on diversity/inclusion in business, government, healthcare, non-profit, higher education and mili- tary settings. The focus of the Journal is on senior leadership, best practices, benchmarking, workforce diversity strategies, recognition of employee contribution, and features about what makes organizations great.
