The Travelers Companies Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today published its
Citizen Travelers Playbook, a guide to help organizations better
support a civically engaged workforce.
Based on the company’s nonpartisan civic engagement initiative,
Citizen Travelers, the playbook outlines proven strategies and
ideas for developing corporate programs that empower employees to
get involved in the civic life of their communities.
“While we’ve always aspired to be a good corporate citizen, we
started Citizen Travelers in 2021 to become a corporation of good
citizens,” said Travelers Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Alan
Schnitzer. “In the three years since, I’ve been gratified to see so
many of my colleagues taking this mission to heart – strengthening
their own communities through civic education and engagement. At
its core, Citizen Travelers is a recognition that the success of
the business community and the outlook for inclusive prosperity in
our country depend on our coming together to preserve and
strengthen our public institutions.”
Since its launch in 2021, Citizen Travelers has supported
thousands of the company’s employees in becoming more engaged and
informed citizens. Among other tools and activities, Citizen
Travelers provides interactive resources, virtual and in-person
educational programming, and volunteer and networking opportunities
to help employees get involved in the civic matters that are most
meaningful to them.
Citizen Travelers empowers a civically engaged workforce through
a multipronged approach:
- Foster learning by creating and promoting educational
opportunities designed to deepen employees’ understanding of civics
and its importance in American life.
- Empower action by helping connect employees to service
opportunities, such as participating in voter engagement efforts,
serving as poll workers and even running for local office.
- Demonstrate leadership by sharing stories of Travelers
employees who exemplify outstanding civic leadership and reaching
external audiences through nonprofit partnerships and speaking
engagements.
“We created Citizen Travelers to support and empower our more
than 30,000 employees to begin – or deepen – their involvement in
their communities, even to the point of serving in elected office,”
said Janice Brunner, Group General Counsel and Head of Civic
Engagement at Travelers. “We’ve already seen these efforts lead to
greater engagement among employees and a deeper connection with our
business partners and the communities we serve. We know these
values aren’t unique to Travelers, and we hope this playbook helps
other organizations pursue civic engagement initiatives of their
own.”
