Striving to make your life better and safer
We’re one of the UK’s leading insurance companies looking after millions of customer’s insurance needs across car, home, health and business. We have a single purpose – to help people move forward by protecting what matters.
And in a world that is constantly changing, we’re the people who say: ‘Know You Can’.
Our purpose
As part of one of the largest global insurers, our collective purpose is to act for human progress by protecting what matters.
When we protect what matters to our customers, people and society we can help give them the confidence to enjoy a better future. We believe that people progress when they feel secure.
Amongst rapid change and uncertainty – we’re taking action to protect people and the environment from the risks that might threaten our futures. That’s why we’re asking ourselves, why should the future be a risk? By identifying, anticipating and understanding risks, we can help make life safer, fairer and more inclusive for as many people as possible.
Our values
Our values shape what we do and how we do it. They inspire, guide and empower us to work together, push the boundaries, challenge things for the better, and believe in ourselves. No matter how big or small our achievements, our values are at the heart of everything we do.
Customer first
All our thinking starts with the customer
Integrity
We are guided by strong moral principles
Courage
We speak our mind and act to make things happen
One AXA
Being together and being different makes us better
Our Culture
We’re passionate about protecting what matters. So if you are too, you’ve come to the right place. We want great technical skills, but you don’t always need a degree, or experience in insurance or financial services, to thrive here. Whatever your lifestyle, life stage, experience, perspective or background, we hope we have a role that’s perfect for you.
At AXA, we have a culture of trust, respect and care, where everyone belongs.
Thrive in a diverse community
We’re rising above stereotypes to create a dynamic and inclusive culture. We’re on a journey, and we’re proud of our achievements so far. We’re already a disability-confident employer and support our LGBTQ employees through award-winning initiatives. We mentor our ethnic minority talent towards leadership and achieved a Menopause Friendly employer accreditation.
Grow your potential
There’s a world of career opportunities at AXA. You can progress in our business units: Health, Retail, and Commercial, or become part of our AXA UK Support Functions. Alongside technical training and professional qualifications, you can do an apprenticeship at any age, participate in one of our mentoring schemes and access our great learning and development programme, including LinkedIn Learning.
Move the world forward
At AXA, we support our customers and people to have the confidence to progress. We protect what matters: health, home, vehicles, businesses, communities, and the planet. From our global Climate Academy to charity partnerships and local initiatives, such as volunteering, we look after our people, communities, and the environment. To deliver great customer experiences, we need to make sure we’re in great shape too. So, we’ve developed our employee wellbeing programme to support us with our physical, emotional, and financial health.
Belonging
There’s only one you, and you’ll bring something unique, interesting, different and special to the table. Wherever you are on your career and life journey we’d love to meet you. We celebrate how different perspectives, backgrounds and experience brings us together in a culture of trust, respect and care, Everyone plays their part in creating a place to work where we’re proud of who we are and what we do.
Networks
We have five employee networks to help us embed diversity and inclusion in all that we do. Anyone can be part of our networks, no matter what role they’re in or position they hold.
AXA Able
Aiming to raise awareness about disability, neurodiversity and mental health in the work place. This network provides support and networking opportunities for employees and family members who have a connection to disability, neurodiversity or mental health.
AXA Balance
AXA Balance represents gender equality and working families. It aims to promote flexibility in seeking an optimum balance in both work and life, enabling our people to feel confident in using the benefits available to them, such as family leave. The network also promotes wellbeing and recognises our diverse role models to help create a working environment of inspiration and support.
AXA Pride
AXA Pride is comprised of LGBT+ employees and friends to promote LGBT+ friendly changes in our workplace. The group provides support and networking opportunities for all our employees and members, and organises activities within AXA that raise awareness about our LGBT+ community.
AXA REACH
AXA REACH (Reach, Ethnicity and Culture Heritage) aims to raise awareness about the value of ethnicity in the workplace and the importance of a diverse workforce. We champion the belief that every employee should have equal access to work and the opportunity to reach their potential. Regardless of ethnicity, background or circumstance.
Carers@AXA
Carers@AXA is our newest employee network and it aims to support our people who have caring responsibilities for the elderly, a person with a disability or someone who is really ill. It was established after our diversity data showed that nearly half of our people have caring responsibilities and over a quarter said they have caring responsibility for an elderly or disabled relative.
We stand for not standing still
In an uncertain world, we’re the people who say ‘Know You Can’.
That’s why, being part of AXA is about helping people move forward by protecting what matters to them, keeping them safe and giving them the confidence to achieve their dreams.
