That's what AXA Switzerland stands for Diversity, equal opportunities and inclusion

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.

    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.

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. To do this, AXA Switzerland has defined various offers and measures. For example, flexible work models, 22 weeks fully paid maternity leave and eight weeks fully paid leave for the other parent, parental coaching and various awareness offers.

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.

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.  

Our work model supports diversity

We would like to offer our employees the best possible work environment. We firmly believe that it's your contribution that matters – rather than the place where you actually make your contribution. Our work model takes account of our employees' differing needs based on the diversity of our staff. That's why we allow Smart Working for all our employees. With this work model, the decision about where you work is based on where you are at your most productive, how your team is able to work best together, and what corresponds to your personal preferences. By doing so, we want to provide equal opportunities and actively encourage inclusion by creating a work environment where everyone feels happy and has the same opportunities.

We take it seriously

Diversity, equal opportunities and inclusion are important to us.
