We're proud to put the spotlight on amazing, women-owned business who have worked tirelessly to remain open in the poor economy.

We understand that the transition back to corporate life can be daunting. That's why we're excited to partner with the Financial Women’s Association's Back2Business return-to-work program. This unique program allows individuals the opportunity to restart their careers after taking a break. We provide resources such as mentors, coaches, networking events and training opportunities to ease the transition back to professional life after a prolonged break for reasons such as providing childcare or eldercare, serving in the armed forces, or home schooling. No matter the reason, we're here to support you in all that you do.
Citizens has a history of championing for women. From our commitment to pay equity, flexible scheduling, personalized stress reduction programs, emergency childcare and more, we’re devoted to seeing women thrive personally and professionally. We sat down with some of our female trailblazers to discuss what it takes to be a leader, and what advice they would give other women who are aiming for the top of their field.

We’re committed to celebrating the contributions of our Black colleagues throughout the year, and are privileged to once again reflect on their numerous achievements during Black History Month.
In 2022, for the second year, Citizens is sponsoring EVERFI’s Black History Month Challenge, which celebrates lesser-known stories from Black history. Through interactive modules, the goal of the challenge is to inspire dialogue and a greater understanding of race and social equity in our society. In addition to learning about the Black experience in the US, high school students have the opportunity to submit a short essay and compete for the opportunity to win a $2,500 college scholarship and a brand new Apple MacBook Pro, courtesy of Citizens Pay.
Over the past year, we’ve been intentional in developing an environment where everyone is seen, heard and respected.

While there’s still much work to be done, we’re proud of the meaningful progress we’ve made, and we’re committed to further strengthening our efforts this year and beyond.
For more than 30 years, the third Monday of January has been set aside for nationwide commemorative events and community service activities to celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His commitment to service and passion for strengthening communities continues to inspire us to give back. At Citizens, we are committed to creating a culture where everyone feels a sense of belonging, is valued, respected, heard and contributes at their full potential.
