Publish date: 04/05/2021
Before they get to know us, a lot of people think we’re going to be a stuffy insurance company. Cold and corporate. The reality is very different. We know that people do their best work when they feel relaxed. Empowered to be themselves. It enables us to do more for our clients. And we think it makes this is a very nice place to work. Put simply, we like people to be involved.
In our offices, you can wear whatever you feel comfortable in. We’re not big on dress codes, but we are big on diversity. We value different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. In fact, we actively look for them when hiring. We give our people ownership – a chance for them to have a say in how we run our business. To work here means to be part of something meaningful. To make important decisions that impact lives. To redefine an industry and realise your potential in the process.
In some companies, everything is all about what the bosses say. What they think. What they tell you to do. But not here. Here, everyone gets a say. We think it makes sense for the people who are getting things done to have a voice. It means in every role, in every team, you can share your ideas. Think something could be done better? Tell us. Thought of a new way to help customers? We’re all ears. For us, progress happens when passionate people get to shape things. Create things. Disrupt the norm. So expect to be tested (in a good way). And expect to be trusted. At every turn.
Working at Aviva means doing it your way. It means bringing your wild side to work, or your quiet side. Feeling free to stand up for what you believe in, and speak up when you disagree. The way we see it, when our people are happy, our customers are happy, that’s why we invest in your mental and emotional wellbeing, your professional learning and personal development. It’s why our employee communities have over 5000 members from different ages, races, religions, belief systems, sexual orientations and gender identities. It’s also why we embrace diversity of thought, and welcome people with autism, dyslexia, ADHD and others on the neurodiversity spectrum.
Some 15 million customers across the UK have placed their trust in us, for everything from car insurance, to pension plans, to investments. They trust that Aviva is the best place to protect what matters to them and save for their future. It’s our people, with their pioneering new ideas, their initiative and their empathy who help us earn – and keep – that trust.
