Career Development
We are committed to giving our employees opportunities to develop and advance their careers within Blue Cross. Our internal career fair gives them an opportunity to talk with leaders in multiple departments about open positions and their transferable skills.
Celebrating Community Service
Analyst Anne Palmer (right) received our annual Excellence in Service Award for her volunteering and fundraising work on behalf of Dana Farber Institute and RFK Children’s Action Corp in 2018. In honor of her achievement, she was asked to throw out the ceremonial first pitch for a Boston Red Sox game at Fenway Park.
Preparing the Next Generation
Each summer, Blue Cross hosts high school, college and graduate student interns in departments across the company. In addition to gaining valuable work experience, interns can receive training in areas including public speaking, work/life balance, and diversity and inclusion.
Embracing Diversity
More than a third of our employees participate in one of our company’s eight employee resource groups – Asian Blue Community, AZULatinx, Black Professionals Network, Blue Pride, Empowering Abilities, Veterans ERG, Women’s Inclusion Network and Young Professionals Network. ERGs contribute to a more inclusive work environment and strengthen our connection to the diverse communities we serve.
