Veterans Initiatives at Anthem Inc. US

Anthem is committed to pursuing the talents of individuals returning from military service and recognizes that they bring unique experiences and skills that can be a competitive advantage for our organization. In order to actively recruit veterans, VOA members collaborate with our talent acquisition team on career events such as RecruitMilitary, the Wright Patterson Air Force Base Workshop/Recruit event in Dayton, OH, and virtual career fairs with other military sourcing firms. This ARG also educates managers, leaders, and recruiters about the unique aspects of attracting and employing military veterans as well as military families—for example, how to “translate” military resumes, and what challenges veterans may need to overcome to adapt and succeed in a corporate environment, including issues such as post-traumatic stress disorder.

VOA is committed to supporting U.S. troops. In the last few years, it has led an internal holiday season campaign to send care packages and cards to associates’ friends and family members serving overseas. VOA also promotes and strengthens Anthem’s sponsorship of the Wounded Warrior Disabled Sports Project and Disabled Sports USA.
