“This recognition is a testament to our ongoing support of our country’s service members,” said John Clifford, Executive Vice President and Chief Human Resources Officer at Travelers. “We value the unique skill sets and leadership qualities that people with military experience bring to a job, and we’re proud of the many veterans, guard members and reservists who work at Travelers.”
Travelers’ commitment to supporting military service members is demonstrated in a number of ways, including:
Recruiting and hiring practices

Employee and community programs
- Mentorships are provided to transitioning military personnel through the company’s involvement with American Corporate Partners. Travelers also supports special events to salute military personnel and their families during the Travelers Championship.
- The company’s Military and Veterans Diversity Network is a resource group open to all employees. Since its launch in 2013, the network has grown to more than 2,400 members nationally.
- In 2016, Travelers reaffirmed its commitment to service members and their families when Alan Schnitzer, Chief Executive Officer, signed a Statement of Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve at a national level. Company representatives also signed similar statements at the state level.
Benefits for those on active duty
