Our story

We are teammate experience and development – and part of the Optum talent office. We recognize the unique health care leadership challenges you face, and we’re committed to helping you grow.

Many of us came to Optum through acquisition and we know what it feels like to be an “NIE” (non-integrated entity). We also know what it feels like to be new to the organization and navigate a vast set of resources.

So, we created Bridge to help you find a path forward.

Through continuous research and refinement, we've developed new Optum-specific programs that help you to be your best self, lead high-performing teams, and succeed in the business of health care.
