Inclusion

At Voya, we are committed to fostering an environment where the differences we are born with, and those we acquire throughout our lives, are understood, valued and intentionally pursued.

We define diversity as the differences that make each individual unique, including identities, races, ethnicities, backgrounds, abilities, cultures, perspectives and beliefs.

Each one of us is diverse, and diversity is all of us. Diverse perspectives help drive innovation and ensure that our financial solutions empower people from all walks of life.

Colleagues, Clients and Communities are our strategic priority areas for inclusion. We believe that a focus on inclusion at every level of the organization leads to better performance, increased innovation, an enhanced ability to address customer needs, higher employee engagement, lower employee turnover rates and stronger communities.

At the heart of our belief is that inclusion must be intentional and individualized. Each of us at Voya is responsible for executing Voya’s inclusion strategy. We believe that our employees own our culture and have a responsibility to foster an environment where we all feel comfortable bringing our whole selves to work. It is up to each of us to act in ways that support our overall strategy.

Voya Financial is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workforce. We believe that all employees must be treated fairly, with respect, and in a manner free from discrimination and harassment.

We aggressively enforce our harassment and anti-discrimination workplace policies. All new managers are required to take training to help them create an environment that demonstrates value, respect and fair treatment for all individuals.

Our colleagues

We focus on attracting, developing and engaging top talent who are committed to fighting for everyone’s opportunity for a better financial future. This requires a focus on developing innovative strategies that put our purpose in action together with our colleagues, clients, customers and communities.

Our inclusive culture is defined by a workplace where our colleagues feel supported and inspired to reach their full potential. By sharing their experiences and providing feedback, our employees help shape and enhance our culture. 

Our clients

We advance financial wellness for those we serve by building strong partnerships, enhancing our technology capabilities and fostering authentic relationships with our clients. We offer financial education based on behavioral research to help people make informed decisions and develop innovative tools to streamline financial information access and management. 

Our communities

Voya Foundation makes a meaningful difference in the community through focused and impactful investing. We support programs with well-defined metrics and measurable outcomes, all working toward the goal of creating financially resilient youth.

Our grants focus on equipping young people with the necessary science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) expertise and financial knowledge to succeed in the 21st-century workforce, make smart financial decisions, prepare for a secure retirement and better manage stress and decision-making as they embark on financial independence. The majority of student program beneficiaries come from low-income families, where the average household income is $60,000 or less.

Deeply ingrained in our talent strategy is cultivating a culture of serving others. In 2024, 53% of employees participated in our annual Employee Giving Campaign supporting more than 1,700 causes and nonprofits. Additionally, approximately 70% of employees participated in our National Days of Service, logging more than 18,000 volunteer hours in one week during the month of May.*
