Career progression is important to you and The Hartford. We support ongoing employee development to foster growth and mobility. You can build skills through enterprise learning courses, development programs, mentoring, job shadowing, stretch assignments, pursuing degrees or professional designations, or applying for other positions within the company. Partnering with your manager helps you understand the best options for your goals.
Eligibility: An employee should be active in their current position for at least 12-months or have their manager’s approval to post. Additionally, the employee is not eligible to post if they have been issued a Performance Warning or a written warning for attendance or misconduct within the last 90 days unless their manager receives approval from HR.
Additional Development Resources:
- Enterprise Learning offers many courses to personalize your learning based on your development opportunities and interests. Development programs are another way to build targeted skills.
- The Educational Assistance Program provides financial assistance to eligible employees interested in pursuing relevant business education in order to advance their careers at The Hartford. Please review Program Eligibility for additional information.
- Mentorships: Your manager will assist your career development by providing feedback on your strengths and areas for improvement, helping you explore career opportunities through networking or potential mentorships, and collaborating with you to identify opportunities that match your skills and development goals.

Background Policy: In order to maintain a safe work environment at all locations for our employees and protect the assets of The Hartford, all offers of employment made to external candidates are contingent upon the satisfactory outcome of an investigation of the candidate’s background. Occasionally, a valid reason is identified to conduct a refreshed background check on a current employee. Background checks are confidential and shared only with those who have a legitimate business reason to know. If at any time it is determined that a current employee or candidate has misrepresented information or the background investigation outcome is not satisfactory, the employee may be terminated or offer of employment rescinded.
Immigration Policy: The Hartford may sponsor employment-based visas or permanent residency with executive approval. For more information, visit the Immigration Resource Center site.
Relocation: Relocation reimbursements or stipends are provided only when business needs justify it. The Hartford will reimburse expenses or disburse funds to employees who have received approval and authorization.
Rehire Policy: Rehiring retirees and former employees can have significant benefits for both the individual and the company. Although the rehire of retirees and former employees is permissible, certain protocols must be observed to comply with applicable IRS regulations. See the guidelines and Rehired Employee Policy for more details.
Scope: This policy applies to all active employees of The Hartford and its participating subsidiaries who are based at U.S. locations of the Hartford. For employees based outside the U.S., the intent and provisions of this policy apply unless local law requires otherwise.
