Forbes lists Unum among top employers of new grads
Unum Group was named a 2021 best employer for recent graduates by Forbes magazine, ranking 79th among the 250 companies on the list.
This is the first year Chattanooga-based Unum was recognized for this award. The Best Employers for New Graduates list was put together based on an independent survey of over 20,000 U.S. young professionals who were asked about safety of work environment, competitiveness of compensation, opportunities for advancement, effectiveness of diversity and inclusion efforts and company image.
Unum said it typically hires around 1,000 entry-level positions each year, as well as summer and year-round internships and various leadership development programs.
“Young talent makes a significant impact to our business success and I’m proud that we offer competitive programs, benefits and resources to help them succeed,” said Kimberly Bowen, vice president of Global Talent Management.
