A vibrant employment culture that attracts great talent and values every voice doesn't happen by accident. At Unum, we're dedicated to building and nurturing a dynamic and welcoming workplace — one that embraces differences, fosters collaboration, and encourages employees to bring their best ideas to work every day.

As a workforce of 10,000 people in locations across the U.S., U.K. and Ireland, we celebrate diversity and value the contributions of every member of our team. We discourage bureaucracy, and stay focused on delivering great customer experiences with every interaction. And everyone at Unum knows we are all individually responsible for growing our careers and learning from our experiences.

But that doesn’t mean employees are on their own. Far from it. The personal and professional development of our people is a front-and-center element of our business every day. Resources range from professional development and learning opportunities to programs that support the financial, emotional and physical well-being of our colleagues. When it comes to reaching our potential as a business, we know employees who are reaching their own fullest potential are the key to success.

• people of every background have the tools to grow and reach their full potential.
• no one feels limited or excluded from the opportunity to contribute and learn.
• the working environment help us be more receptive to novel ideas and new ways of thinking.

Since 1848, Unum continues to do the right thing for our employees and the people we serve. Our culture of integrity is more than a phrase, it's part of our employee value statement. Operating with strong ethics and open and honest communication is the role of every employee — and is paramount to our success.

Based on market trends and local data, our salaries are competitive. We reward beyond the bi-weekly paycheck, too, through ongoing recognition programs and conferences and an annual bonus incentive plan.

We all need to recharge. Employees start with 17 paid days off, plus extra days for holidays. Paid time off increases based on tenure to 30 days, plus holidays. New parents — mothers and fathers – also have access to six weeks of paid parental leave.

We know the value of lifelong learning. To support professional development, eligible employees can be reimbursed up to $5,250 per year for qualified education expenses. Part-time employees may receive up to $1,500.

There are multiple options for health benefits, including medical, dental, vision and prescription drug plans. Walk around our main offices and you’ll see more investments in wellbeing, with onsite fitness facilities, health resource centers, education programs, walking workstations or sit-stand desks.

We help our employees with their financial safety net by providing life and disability income protection insurance, and offering them options to purchase accident, critical illness/cancer or hospital indemnity coverage.

Retirement may be a long way off, but the planning and saving should start early. Our 401(k) match program is dollar for dollar for 5% of base salary. On top of that, the company makes a defined contribution of 4.5%. Fidelity and Ameriprise are partners for financial education and investment tools.
