Committed to Military Veterans: Supporting Those Who Serve

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

The company participates in military job fairs and maintains relationships with base transition offices and partners, such as Hiring Our Heroes. We also offer 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 3,300 members.
• A recruiting initiative designed specifically to help military spouses build their careers at Travelers. Since 2020, we have hired more than 300 military spouses and created a forum where they can come together to share tips, exchange resources and offer support to one another.
• An alliance with American Corporate Partners, a national nonprofit that helps veterans discover their next careers. Since 2010, more than 900 protégés have connected with approximately 340 Travelers employees for customized career mentorships. Over the years, more than 250 protégés have obtained employment during their mentorships with Travelers employees.
• Comprehensive benefits for employees deployed on active duty, including full benefits – this is in addition to supplementing employees’ military pay for up to five years of their deployment.

The company 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. Travelers has also been recognized as Partner of the Year by Code Platoon, an Employer for Outstanding Support by the U.S. Navy Reserve and a Beyond the Yellow Ribbon company by the Minnesota National Guard.

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 2024, Travelers continued its partnership with the D’Aniello Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) 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. At IVMF’s 2024 Veteran Women Igniting the Spirit of Entrepreneurship conference, Travelers led a session about cybersecurity and resilience, emphasizing the growing cyber threats to small businesses, the importance of securing technology and the need to create business continuity plans.
