We all have a role to play to influence and shape society, to create a level playing field where everyone can reach their full potential and to make a difference for the better. Sam Patel Chief Counsel and Executive Sponsor of our employee resource group representing ethnicity, shares his views on recent events.
Many in the LGBT+ community are struggling to cope with the lockdown, due to being separated from support groups and with many Pride events being cancelled. Arlene Stewart, Chair of AXA’s Pride Employee Resource Group (ERG) tells us how the group is adapting its plans to ensure LGBT+ employees have the support they need at this difficult time.
Support Pride by joining our online walk. It’s easy to get involved: Share a photo/video of yourself walking on Instagram using #AXAStrideForPride and tell us how far you went. And encourage your friends and family to get involved too. We’ll be sharing weekly updates on how far we’ve walked, with the aim to make it around the UK! #KnowYouCan
We want all our people, regardless of who they are, to be able to bring their whole selves to work and reach their full potential. That’s why this Pride Month we’re using our platforms to show visible support to our LGBTQ people, customers and communities.
In these very unusual times we are adapting our ways of working. We have over 90% of our current staff working from home, and are committed to not putting our employees on furlough or making redundancies during this crisis. We’ll continue to support our people and communities by: ⚫ offering parents 20 days paid emergency leave for childcare and more flexible working ⚫ launching a virtual GP service available to all employees and their families ⚫ introducing an app which supports employees’ mental health ⚫ giving our employees the choice to use up to 10 paid days to volunteer this year We are also changing the way we recruit by moving to a virtual set-up. Once you apply, your resourcing partner will be there to support you throughout our new processes. So, we’re still here – we’re doing everything we can as an employer to support our people at this very uncertain time.
