Dear Toby Olson,
Subject:  Seattle Job Opportunities at Aetna

Aetna is a federal contractor and is seeking referrals of individual with disabilities.  Our company is committed to developing partnerships with state and local service organizations supporting individuals with disabilities seeking employment. We have offices located nationwide and telecommuting job opportunities.  We welcome the opportunity to partner with you in the employment of individuals with disabilities.
We have a richly diverse workforce comprised of some of the best and brightest employees in the health insurance industry.  Our positions are as diverse as our employees and include traditional "health insurance industry roles” such as underwriting, claims processing and customer service, as well as roles in areas such as nursing, pharmacy, marketing, human resources, and communications.
Why Aetna?
Aetna has a number of nationally recognized programs and practices that support employees with disabilities that include the following:

 *   A Workplace Accommodation Unit (WAU) that is considered "best practice," and is easily accessed through a 1-800 number.  The WAU works collaboratively with applicants/employees, their health care providers and managers to identify evaluate and implement appropriate accommodations.  As needed, WAU also reaches out to other internal Aetna departments such as Human Factors Engineering, Ergonomics, Facilities, and IT as well as outside vendors for assistance identifying and implementing appropriate accommodations.
 *   An internal website that provides information and resources related to working with disabilities.  The intranet site has been extremely successful with employees with disabilities, their co-workers and their managers, and Aetna has assisted other large employers and government agencies with setting up similar websites.
 *   An employee resource group "AetnaAbilities," which is dedicated to providing support for employees with disabilities.  It provides employees with opportunities for personal and professional growth, helps raise awareness of disability issues and is a resource for the company on disability related business initiatives.
We also actively participate in and support national best practice forums such as the DOL's Circle of Champions, the United States Business Leadership Network, the Cornell Center for Advanced Human Resources Studies, and the National Organization for Disabilities.
In addition, as one of the nation's leading diversified health care benefits companies, we offer a competitive benefits package to our employees.  From medical plans and wellness programs, tuition reimbursement to life insurance and retirement resources, a wide range of options is available to help individuals with disabilities achieve optimal health, career development and financial well-being.
