Inclusion in the Workplace

Workforce diversity is a key driver of innovation to deliver high quality products, services, and experiences for our members

As a result of our efforts to attract and retain diverse employees, the ethnic diversity of our staff is greater (33%) than the average ethnic diversity in Massachusetts (27%). In addition, 64% of our Senior Management team and 42% of our Board of Directors are either women or ethnically diverse. We are proud of our workplace diversity accomplishments and continue to strive for increased representation.

“Diversity and inclusion is one of our key company values, and integral to a successful business,” says Lydia Greene, senior vice president and chief human resources officer. “By making it a part of the everyday employee experience, and nurturing our employee-led programs, we see tremendous results.”

Business Resource Groups

The Tufts Health Plan Business Resource Groups (BRGs) help maintain and promote an inclusive and open environment for all employees and to advance the company’s values, mission and strategic business objectives. By providing a forum for interaction and engagement, the BRGs create networking events and mentoring connections, provide ongoing educational opportunities that help develop leadership skills, support diverse communities through volunteering and community outreach, and help to drive cultural awareness and celebrate diversity. Each BRG supports Tufts Health Plan’s business and diversity objectives in four key areas: Careers, Commerce, Community and Culture – known as “The 4 Cs.

BRGs at Tufts Health Plan now comprise more than 15% of the workforce. Currently Tufts Health Plan has five Business Resource Groups:
