***** We will do this together — with customers, partners and colleagues. We will fight for others, not against:

We are determined to support both individuals and communities in reaching a better financial future.  We know that reaching this future depends on our actions today.

Like our Purpose Statement, Voya believes in being bold and committed to action.  We are committed to a work environment where the differences that we are born with — and those we acquire throughout our lives — are understood, valued and intentionally pursued. 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.

Purposefully bringing our differences together to positively influence our culture, serve our clients and enrich our communities is essential to our vision.
