Supporting Those Who Serve

We count the following organizations as valued partners in supporting veterans:

Casey Neff, who leads the Training and Development Group in Personal Insurance and concluded his 25-year career in the U.S. Army in 2007, helps other military veterans transition to civilian careers at private sector companies through American Corporate Partners (ACP). This year, we are celebrating our 11th anniversary partnering with ACP, which helps returning U.S. veterans and spouses of active duty military personnel connect with mentors in the private sector. Since 2011, more than 200 Travelers volunteers have been involved in more than 600 military mentorships. “About five of every six jobs in the military have direct private sector or civilian correlations,” said Casey, “whether that is in logistics, planning, technology, HR or other functions. It’s a privilege to talk to these individuals and help them translate those skills and accomplishments into something that the right civilian employer is going to find meaningful.”

In 2020, Travelers joined the Department of Defense Military Spouse Employment Partnership. Through this partnership, the company has already hired a number of military spouses, many of whom, while highly talented, had been having difficulty finding job opportunities because of their military lifestyle. The Travelers Institute has also highlighted the importance of recruiting military spouses in a Wednesdays with Woodward^® webinar series event that included speakers from leading military support organizations. Importantly, our commitment to our nation’s service members and their families is meaningful to our employees, who feel proud to be part of a company that advocates for those who serve. “Travelers really took care of me before, during and after my deployment,” said Mark Lear, Regional Vice President of Bond & Specialty Insurance – Midwest Region, who needed help determining how his deployment affected his employment and benefits. “Our company truly goes out of its way to support service members.” Travelers is also a sponsor of Operation Shower, a baby shower for expectant military mothers that takes place annually as part of the Travelers Championship® golf tournament.

Travelers also partners with the Institute for Veterans and Military Families to host career readiness programs and workshops that help veteran small business owners sustain and grow their businesses.
