Inclusion

How we treat individuals sets us apart.

At Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Rhode Island, we've established a culture of inclusion that reflects and embraces our diverse community. Here, we celebrate what makes each of us unique. We appreciate and celebrate everything that makes us who we are, fostering a work environment where everyone is empowered to succeed. Our diversity makes us stronger as an organization and helps us do our best. Our Diversity Council composed of 25 associates, works to uphold our commitment as an organization to diversity and inclusion organization, so we can best serve the unique needs of our employees, customers, and associates throughout Rhode Island.
