Benefits at United
We know our airline is only as good as the team behind it. We offer a competitive benefits package to our colleagues to ensure they are given opportunities to learn, prioritize their health and be well-travelled.
Financial
We offer industry competitive wages, and our 401(k) plan includes a company match to provide financial security. Additionally, we provide both short-term and long-term incentive opportunities, as well as financial counselling to help our employees capitalize on these benefits.
Health
We offer a variety of industry-leading health plans and options, including medical, dental, vision, long-term disability and life insurance. We also offer a variety of innovative wellness programs for diabetes, cancer, muscular skeletal and mental health wellbeing, among others.
Social
We give back and serve communities through volunteer impact grants for charities, fundraising opportunities and volunteer participation with local food banks and parades, among others. We support those seeking employment by reviewing resumes, preparing for interviews, mentoring and more. Beyond volunteering, we have social, athletic and activity clubs around the world.
Professional
We continuously encourage professional development based on colleagues’ interests and skills. Our employee-led Business Resource Groups (BRGs), which are open to all employees, build communities of belonging. The groups support our growing team through mentorship, networking, cross-functional collaboration, leadership development and culture while delivering key business outcomes. United’s BRGs are pivotal in shaping our corporate culture, enhancing employee and customer experience and fostering innovation.
We have a longstanding commitment to equal pay for equal work, and once again in 2024 we achieved near-perfect pay equality for employees performing equal work across our U.S. management roles. In 2024, in our effort toward continued improvement in employee health outcomes and health impacts resulting from social determinants, we continued to broaden our existing employee wellness platforms through improved program awareness, access and offerings, including expanded mental health care, breast cancer screenings and maternal health support. Our efforts toward employee health were recognized by the Biden Cancer Moonshot initiative.
