Diversity, equity and inclusion

At Optum, our mission calls us, our values guide us and our diverse culture connects us as we seek to improve care for the consumers we are privileged to serve and their communities. We are committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. Our core values of integrity, compassion, relationships, innovation and performance steer our actions and interactions. They also guide us to achieve our mission to help people live healthier lives and to help make the health system work better for everyone. And throughout it all, we are united by a culture that cultivates a workplace like no other.

Here’s the link to the video of conversation between Rain Tan, vice president – People team, OGA Philippines and Darwin Mariano, vice president – External Affairs (who is the Philippines Country ERG Sponsor) to understand more about the ERG transformation and how it impacts our business:

We are fully committed to promoting a company culture where everyone’s voice is heard. We deeply value inclusion, diversity innovation and growth as we are dedicated to improving millions of lives. We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards in external and internal operations. Amongst other initiatives to make our work environment the best it can be, we require all employees to complete either a manager or employee training course covering sexual and other harassment and discrimination.
