You’ll take on meaningful, high-impact projects aligned with our talent strategy, all while working side-by-side with experienced HR leaders across a variety of functions.

Before we move on, let us tell you a little more about us. We’re a global health service company dedicated to helping people improve their health, well-being and peace of mind. But we don’t just care about your well-being, we care about your career health too.  That’s why when you work with us, you can count on a different kind of career - you’ll make a difference, learn a ton, and share in changing the way people think about healthcare.

As an HRLDP Summer Associate, you won’t just learn about Human Resources—you’ll live it. We’ll help you shape the career you want through hands-on work, mentorship, and exposure to senior leaders who are passionate about developing future HR trailblazers.

What You’ll Experience:

• Real Work, Real Impact: You’ll be embedded in one of our HR Centers of Expertise (COEs), where you’ll tackle a project that matters—building your technical skills, business savvy, and leadership potential.

• Mentorship That Matters: You’ll be paired with a dedicated HR mentor who’s there to guide, support, and cheer you on.

• Executive Exposure: Connect with senior HR and business leaders in intimate, high-impact forums.
