Humana understands the challenges diverse businesses face. Our Supplier Diversity Mentor-Protégé Program is designed to improve your business’s ability to contract with Humana and our Tier I suppliers.
Launched in 2019, the program’s goal is to encourage relationships with various Humana departments and external partners by overcoming barriers that typically inhibit or restrict the success of diverse-owned, women-owned, LGBTQIA-owned, disability-owned, veteran-owned and small business enterprises.
During the 12 months of the program, participants are paired with Humana leaders for a 1-on-1 mentoring experience. In addition to 1-on-1 mentoring, protégés also participate in mentoring circles that include Humana department leaders who share their subject-area expertise as well as information about how the company functions.
