At AXA, the emphasis is on trust, flexibility and teamwork. Our modern Smart Working work model reflects an increased desire to work from home as well as rapidly changing work habits. The increasing digitalization of processes and the use of modern work tools enable our employees to have extremely flexible working arrangements – irrespective of time and place – to collectively achieve the company's objectives.
Smart Working is a win-win situation for you, for AXA, and for our customers.
Smart Working is all about the contribution you make to the company's objectives rather than the place where you actually make your contribution. Your place of work is determined by where you are the most productive, by what your personal preferences are and ultimately by what brings the greatest benefit to our customers.
If you'd like to know how staff at our company put the Smart Working work model into practice in their teams and what their typical daily work looks like, then have a look at the following examples.
Innovation is important to AXA. We therefore put key points of the new work model into practice when developing our new Smart Working work model and also revised our workplace concept. This way, our employees' preferences are taken fully into account and there are many options when it comes to work location. All in the spirit of Smart Working.
When working in the office, the focus is on collaboration, exchange and communication, which is why we have created more communication areas within the company. These could be meeting rooms of various sizes or even simple places where people can chat such as lounges and individual booths. Thanks to digitalization, most of our meeting rooms have a modern IT infrastructure to facilitate hybrid meetings, enabling employees who are not on site to take part easily.
As an insurance company, we are in a rapidly changing environment. Modern work methods are essential to enable us to react quickly to the associated changes and still be able to cater more rapidly and effectively to our customers' requirements.
We see agility as not just a work method, but also a way of thinking and leading. This agile mindset means being able to adapt quickly and flexibly to new circumstances and situations. This requires a healthy culture of trust where hierarchical thinking is less important and networks are more important. AXA also features agile as well as classic teams. Depending on the range of tasks involved, these teams work using the Scrum or Kanban method. We also use customer-centric agile methods such as design thinking. The agile mindset is already firmly embedded with us. It is relevant for nearly all of our employees in their daily work.
As well as working smart, we also offer you flexible work models such as part-time work to suit a wide variety of needs – depending on which phase of life you're in. Flexible work models have been very important at our company for a long time: for men and women as well as for young and experienced people. With Flexwork, we combine work models that offer flexibility in terms of time. Smart Working offers our employees new work models that are highly flexible in terms of how their working time is organized. These flexible working time arrangements are extremely beneficial, particularly for helping improve work/home life balance.
Our Flexwork models are:
Part-time models are a pressing need today and we take account of this demand. For example, we advertise all jobs at a workload of 80 to 100 percent, and 26 percent of senior management already work on a reduced workload basis.
You can work part-time with us and still have a career. It’s possible to have a position in senior management with a workload starting at 50 percent.
Are you interested in applying for an exciting job but unable to work the full hours? Then apply together with a colleague on a job-sharing basis. AXA will support you if you want to share your job – even if it's a management position.
Would you like to spend more time on your hobbies or with your grandchildren before you retire? After age 58, you can reduce your workload by up to 20 percent while maintaining your insured salary in the pension fund.
Time to do and learn something new? Or would you like a temporary placement? You never stand still at AXA. We give you the opportunity to continually develop your career internally and discover your potential in various departments.
