2025 Mission Report
A great place to do meaningful work
At Blue Shield of California, we believe our mission is best advanced by a culture that puts people first. As we work to build a healthcare system worthy of our family and friends and sustainably affordable, it is equally important to create a workplace that reflects those same values.
Our mission-driven workforce
We create an environment where people do meaningful work and feel valued, supported, and connected to something bigger than themselves. Employees grow through flexible work, well-being support, and opportunities to learn and advance. In 2025, U.S. News & World Report named us a Best Company to Work For, recognizing our strengths in work-life balance, compensation, growth, and belonging — helping employees build lasting careers while making a real impact for our members and the communities we serve. We provide intentional, exceptional employee benefits, which include:
tuition reimbursement
childcare and caregiver benefits
reproductive and family planning benefits
comprehensive mental health resources
24 hours of paid community service time
A culture of belonging
We create a workplace where all employees can contribute fully to meeting members’ needs by being human, honest, and courageous in our communities and workplace. Our nine Employee Resource Groups represent diverse generations of age, mental and physical abilities, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, and cultural, ethnic, and racial identities — as well as allies — with 40% of employees participating. These groups foster connection, learning, service, and belonging. As we say at Blue Shield, you don’t have to be to belong. This commitment is reflected in our recognition on Forbes’ list of America’s Best Employers for Women 2025, and the 2025 Disability Index® as a Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.
