AXA has always advocated for a diverse and inclusive corporate culture and is committed to providing a positive and friendly working environment to employees.
To better support employees with different needs, AXA has enhanced a series of employee benefits starting from Jan 1, 2024, including a significant increase of paid co-parent leave from 20 days to 40 days, as well as an additional five days each of caregiver leave, fertility leave, and pregnancy loss leave.
Under the new arrangement, employees can reserve more time with their families during every important life stage to achieve a better work-life balance and fulfil a range of personal needs.
AXA Group launched the “We Care” programme in October 2023 across 51 markets worldwide to support employees through each significant moment in life.
The launch of the “We Care” programme demonstrates AXA’s commitment to caring for its employees’ overall well-being and building a healthier, more inclusive, and supportive global workplace culture.
Sally Wan, Chief Executive Officer, AXA Greater China, said, “Our employees are the most valuable assets of AXA and we continue to strive for a more diverse and inclusive corporate culture.”
“By further enhancing a series of employee benefits, we are able to provide better care for our employees’ overall well-being and create a more friendly working environment to promote work-life balance, which also helps in attracting and retaining talents,” she said.
Wan further added that as a market-leading insurer, AXA embraces flexible working arrangements even before the pandemic, allowing employees to work from home once a week. AXA continuously listens to employees’ feedback.
“We have further increased the number of work-from-home days to two per week during the pandemic and have continued to maintain this arrangement. We sincerely hope that these new enhancements can add to an industry drive to work together on improving employee welfare,” she said.
Following the launch of the ‘We Care’ programme, AXA will enhance and introduce multiple employee benefits with effect from Jan 1, 2024 for parental leave, caregiver leave, domestic and sexual violence leave as well as the ‘Healthy You’ Programme.
