    Fabrizio Petrillo, CEO AXA Switzerland

    I firmly believe that as a modern insurance company we need diverse employees! By bringing together various perspectives, we generate new, creative solutions, services, and products. However, diversity is not just important from a business perspective: I am a strong believer in promoting diversity at all levels – flexible working models, equal opportunities and work/life balance.

Be yourself! We believe in you and would like you to be able to develop with us. We regard diversity, equal opportunities and inclusion as crucial success factors. And different perspectives as an enriching and creative resource.

Openness, respect, and appreciation of differences and similarities constitute essential characteristics of the way we work at AXA Switzerland. These principles help us to develop innovative solutions for our customers' expectations.

Diversity

Diversity is part of us – we reflect our society. Employees with different experiences and backgrounds are an important success factor for us and help us better understand our customers' needs and ultimately enable us to make a contribution to society. We therefore make every effort to continue promoting diversity in our teams and welcome applications from people of varying backgrounds. 

An infographic shows the gender and age mixes in our company. AXA employees comprise 54% men and 46% women. 4.2 percent are aged under 20, 13.4 percent between 20 and 29, 25.4 percent between 30 and 39, 23.8 percent between 40 and 49, 22.9 percent between 50 and 59 and 13.4 percent between 60 and 69.

Equal opportunities  

It's important to us to create equal opportunities. We therefore do our best to take individual circumstances into account and enable all employees to exploit their potential as much as possible. One of the goals we have set ourselves is to continually increase the proportion of women in management positions. 

Offers and measures:

  • Flexible work models: Choice between full-time and part-time, smart working
  • Parental leave: 22 weeks fully paid maternity leave, 8 weeks fully paid leave for the other parent
  • Family-friendly meeting times: Meetings in larger groups take place at AXA between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m.
  • Parent coaching: The individual coaching offer from our partner Right Point in Zurich provides parents with practical tips and strategies for achieving a better work-life balance and promoting equality in partnerships
  • Talent development: Sponsorship by members of the Executive Board and mentoring programs 

Inclusion

We are doing all we can to create an inclusive and discrimination-free work environment. All our employees at AXA Switzerland should be respected, appreciated and have a sense of belonging. Regardless of age, disability, ethnic origin, gender, gender expression, gender identity, religion, sexual orientation, social origin or other characteristics.  

Offers and measures:

  • Various employee networks such as woman@axa and queer@axa 
  • Regular awareness-raising events and workshops on diversity, equity, and inclusion
  • AXA Horizon: This program secures the know-how of employees aged 55+ through training opportunities, networking, and flexible work models – even after retirement. It reduces the loss of specialist knowledge due to retirement and promotes knowledge sharing and synergies for employees and AXA.
  • Action plan for employees with disabilities
  • Participation in Zurich Pride

Support in all life’s situations

Challenging situations and low points are part of life. Have you been thrown out of kilter due to health, private or professional difficulties? We support you with our own internal point of contact to help guide and advise our employees and managers. We also actively promote the reintegration of employees who would like to start working again after a long illness.  

Offers and measures:

  • Reintegration: We support employees who want to return to work after a long illness
  • Caring for relatives: Care responsibilities often arise suddenly and unplanned for many employees. AXA grants up to three days’ leave per event (e.g. caring for a child, partner, or parent in the event of illness or accident) at full pay.

Our work model supports diversity

We firmly believe that it’s your contribution that matters – rather than the place where you actually make your contribution. We therefore provide all our employees with a working environment in which everyone feels comfortable and has the same opportunities: Smart Working.
