Diversity, Inclusion, & Belonging

Pushing forward to foster a healthier life and fair future for all.

2020 DI&B Report

Building a framework for equity & justice.

We founded Oscar because we saw the clear systemic flaws in the American health care system. Flaws that made it too expensive and too inconvenient for far too many Americans to obtain quality health care. We have seen that those barriers to care are worsened by both the conscious and unconscious biases that divide us.

We will continue the important work to realize our goal of being a more equitable and representative health company.

Mario Schlosser, CEO & Co-Founder, Oscar Health, Inc.

One of our company’s values is “Be Transparent.” We take pride in being transparent with our members, and we owe the same to our employees and stakeholders.

We recognize the importance of diversity, inclusion, and belonging efforts in the workplace. We believe that having a diverse employee base will empower our community, drive better business outcomes, and ultimately allow us to better serve our members.

To that end, we have developed Oscar’s inaugural Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging (DI&B) report, providing objective analytics that set a baseline for our company and fuel our commitment to being a more diverse and inclusive employer and health care company.

Giving employees a louder voice.

We understand that our employees of color and from historically underrepresented groups bring a unique perspective and lived experience to work with them each day. We are proud that long before this year, we supported and cultivated spaces for employees to be listened to and heard, such as Employee Resource Groups (ERGs). We are continuing to grow these spaces and encourage programming for our community through ERGs, where employees with shared experiences and identities can come together to foster diversity and inclusion.

Being part of Melanin has made me feel more connected to the Oscar community as a whole, but also to our mission of making a healthier life accessible for all.

Herry Pierre-Louis, Product Manager, Product

In 2020, we took additional steps to make sure that all of our employees had an opportunity to be heard and listened to, conducting listening sessions and roundtables where our employees of color were able to speak directly with Oscar leadership, including our CEO. These spaces - and our ongoing dialogue with employees - continue to inform the way we evolve our business, support our employees, and think critically about health issues.
