Social Responsibility
Radian's financial strength and growth depend on the well-being of the communities in which we operate. Therefore, we strive to enhance the health, welfare, financial strength and quality of life of our employees and all who live in those communities, through thoughtful social investments. We are proud to invest in the communities where our employees live and work, both financially and through volunteerism.
Employee Well-Being
We value our employees by supporting a healthy work-life balance and a team-oriented, One Radian environment. We strive to offer competitive compensation and benefits programs as well as development opportunities, while fostering a community where everyone feels included and empowered to do their best work and is encouraged to give back to their communities to make a social impact.
For the Culture
Radian utilizes engagement surveys to get feedback from employees on ways we can grow as an organization. Events are planned and led by a cross-functional group of employees from business areas throughout the company. This shared responsibility ties to Radian's employee engagement strategy and provides informal leadership opportunities. Based on feedback collected from program leaders and participants, employees that are involved in Radian Connected feel more engaged and appreciative of Radian's culture. To ensure the program continues to meet the diverse interests of Radian employees, each of the three Channels within the Radian Connected structure offer unique and engaging events, taking place via virtual platforms.
Striving for a Healthier Lifestyle
The Radian Strive Well-Being Program gives employees the power to earn rewards for healthy activities through incentivizing and rewarding physical activity. Strive provides employees with educational classes and webinars, nutrition and sleep guidance, healthy habit and activity tracking, fun perks and rewards, and personal and group challenges, such as daily step contests or mindfulness acts. We also offer the Strive Financial Well-Being Program which offers a variety of tools and resources to help employees enhance their financial health and learn how to protect themselves from financial risks.
Emphasis on Growth
Training, education and employee well-being are key components to maintaining a positive culture that is growth-oriented. In a remote environment, we look for innovative ways to ensure we keep our people and support them along their journey at Radian. We will continue to expand offerings to employees based on their feedback, which helps us to create new Radian initiatives, and technological advancements.
