EmployIndy is proud to celebrate our partnership with OneAmerica Financial, a company demonstrating its commitment to workforce equity and economic mobility. Having recently been certified through EmployIndy’s Good Wages Initiative (GWI), OneAmerica has pledged to provide competitive wages that support the financial stability of their employees. By committing to paying at least $18 per hour and offering health insurance benefits that promote long-term career growth, they are setting a strong example for employers across Indianapolis. 

“We believe every OneAmerica Financial associate should have a path to achieve financial certainty through a career that enables their overall success,” said J. Scott Davison, chairman, president, and CEO of OneAmerica Financial. “Our vision is to build financial security for today and generations to come, which applies to our associates as much as our customers.” 

Beyond their commitment to fair wages, OneAmerica is also partnering with EmployIndy’s Modern Apprenticeship Program (MAP) to take a proactive approach in addressing their talent pipeline needs through youth apprenticeship. Having hired five apprentices to date, two of which have completed the program, they provide students, like Zion Peterson, with hands-on experience in financial services while they complete their high school education. By fostering early career pathways, OneAmerica is not only equipping young professionals with valuable skills, mentorship, and opportunities for long-term success, they’re finding a strategic solution to close the skills gap and co-develop their next generation of workers. 

“The partnership between OneAmerica and EmployIndy is invaluable, as it exemplifies a shared commitment to supporting a quality workforce and economic mobility,” said Jay Styles, Senior Vice President of Partnerships and Talent Connections at EmployIndy. “By providing competitive wages and fostering early career pathways, OneAmerica is setting a powerful example for other employers and creating meaningful opportunities for the community.”
