How One Company Funded Transition-Related Health Care

Episode 38 of The Diversity Career Podcast: Lucas and Luna examine Vanguard's decision to include gender-affirming surgery and transition-related care in its health plans since 2015. They break down the specific coverage (hormone therapy, mental health support, surgery), the business case Vanguard used internally (talent retention, reduced turnover costs), and the ripple effect on other large employers like American Express and Target. They also discuss the practical steps for an HR team to evaluate adding such benefits: reviewing claims data, consulting with an LGBTQ health specialist, and benchmarking against competitors. A concrete guide for professionals wondering how to make the case at their own organization. #TransgenderHealthCare #LGBTQInclusion #EmployeeBenefits #Vanguard #AmericanExpress #Target #GenderAffirmingCare #HRBestPractices #HealthEquity #TransitionCoverage #DEI #Careers #Inclusion #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DiversityPodcast #LGBTQ #BenefitsDesign Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
