Supporting Those Who Serve

Military veterans can face challenges when transitioning to the civilian workforce. Travelers recognizes the valuable experiences and skills gained through military service that veterans bring to the corporate world and is committed to supporting and helping veterans reintegrate into the workforce. 

Travelers participates in military job fairs and maintains relationships with base transition offices and partners, such as Hiring Our Heroes. Travelers employs approximately 1,000 self-identified veterans across the United States in claim, underwriting, technology and other roles. Through the years, we’ve been recognized as a Best for Vets Employer by Military Times, as well as a Military Friendly^® Employer and Military Friendly^® Spouse Employer by VIQTORY.

Travelers offers robust military-friendly programs and benefits, including:

• An employee resource group focused on building awareness of veterans’ skills and experiences. Since its launch in 2013, the Military/Veterans & Allies Diversity Network has grown to more than 3,200 members.
• A recruiting initiative designed specifically to help military spouses. Since 2020, we have hired more than 250 military spouses and created a forum where they can come together to share tips, exchange resources and offer support to one another.
• A partnership with American Corporate Partners, a national nonprofit that helps veterans discover their next careers. Since 2010, more than 300 Travelers employees have completed over 800 mentorships with post-9/11 veterans and military spouses.
• Comprehensive benefits for employees deployed on active duty, including full benefits that are in addition to supplementing employees’ military pay for up to five years of their deployment.

Travelers has also signed the Statement of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve at both state and national levels and participates in the Department of Defense Military Spouse Employment Partnership, which connects military spouses with partner employers who have committed to recruit, hire, promote and retain military spouses. In addition, Travelers was named a Beyond the Yellow Ribbon company by the Minnesota National Guard in 2021. We count the following organizations as valued partners in supporting veterans and their spouses:

Travelers is also a sponsor of Operation Shower, an organization that provides baby products to expectant military families through baby showers to help ease the stress of deployment. Through our partnership, Operation Shower baby showers take place annually as part of the Travelers Championship^® golf tournament.

In 2023, Travelers continued its partnership with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families to host career readiness programs at military bases throughout the country, as well as support workshops that help veteran small business owners sustain and grow their businesses. In addition, Travelers launched a partnership with Code Platoon, a 15-week boot camp which provides training to veterans and military spouses to become software engineering professionals, and which serves as a recruiting pipeline for Travelers.
