See why belonging matters at BCBSRI not only for our associates but also for the communities we serve.
Belonging at Blue
We strive to build a deep sense of belonging among every single person at BCBSRI—where each employee feels seen, heard, and valued. When we feel like we belong, we are more willing to speak up, support each other, share ideas, and innovate. The collective power of our unique, individual voices helps us excel in our performance and exceed customer expectations.
We measure belonging annually through our engagement survey, measuring both employees’ commitment and enthusiasm for their work as well as whether they feel they are valued and able to fully contribute.

Belonging Week
This annual series of events celebrates all things relating to Belonging at Blue, with events that foster a sense of inclusion and belonging for all.
Project SEARCH
In 2025 we celebrated our 10th year of hosting Project SEARCH interns. Project SEARCH empowers young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities to achieve competitive, integrated employment. Interns gain real-world experience, build professional skills, and receive personalized support throughout an academic year.
B.I.G. at Blue
The first track of our company-wide development program—Belonging. Impact. Growth. (B.I.G.) at Blue—pairs new employees and interns with associates who can mentor them and support their personal and professional growth.
Employee business resource groups
Our seven employee business resource groups, which are open to all associates, create opportunities for connection, learning, and resource sharing. They also spur innovation that improves the way we serve our members and customers, and further support relationships with our community partners through their dedicated efforts in volunteer service.
