Our Culture

What We Value

We believe in creating a place where people aspire to work and where everyone is able to contribute their best and succeed.  We are guided by six key We Are Unum principles: a caring spirit, an appetite for smart risk, a willingness to own it, an appreciation for differences, a passion for achieving results and an unwavering customer focus.

Unum Cares

Our dedication to making a positive difference in people’s lives is about more than the benefits we provide. Our corporate giving and contribution matching efforts support education, health and wellness, and more.

Belong and Embrace
Our international network of professionals works together to explore new ideas and bring a wide array of perspectives to the table.

We launched the Unum Social Justice Fund in 2020, supported by corporate gifts and individual donations, to help create stronger, more equitable communities by partnering with organizations working to end racism, discrimination and bias. 

Multicultural Leadership Development Program
Unum is committed to developing racially diverse employees, and we champion equity and opportunity by preparing racially diverse employees to advance to higher levels of leadership. The Multicultural Leadership Development Program helps foster real and lasting change for our organization and ensure racially diverse employees at Unum have the support and tools they need to succeed in their careers.
