About OptumRx

Leadership Academy is a successful program that builds upon OptumRx’s succession planning efforts to prepare high-potential employees for future leadership roles. During the 10-week program, participants are exposed to topics such as successful team leadership, effective coaching principles, company culture, motivation, encouragement and recognition. Candidates are identified by their department leadership and are paired with a mentor who provides a link between the classroom content and real-world situations, as well as guidance for the capstone presentation. Since the program’s launch, a quarter of all graduates have been promoted to advanced roles within operations.
