Our culture

True integrated advantage starts with our culture

When everyone feels part of a unified team, in an environment of fairness, inclusion and positivity, we all achieve more. Integrated advantage is created when everyone feels stronger together - with no barriers to their ability to contribute, collaborate and succeed.

One team approach

We motivate and support people to pool their expertise as ‘One Team’ every day – through smarter ways of working and the technology and physical environments that enable true collaboration.

Individual growth

A thoughtful approach to training and leadership, tailored to what each individual needs to grow with confidence, helps deepen commitment to the company across the breadth of talent within Aviva Investors.

Leading change

We set out to do the right thing for our people, our business and our investors. This often means challenging our industry; breaking down barriers to equal opportunities from recruitment through to equal parenting leave.

Culture in action

It’s what we do that matters, not just what we say.

Equal parental leave programme

We believe that unconscious hiring and promotional bias is inevitable in any system that treats men and women differently when they become parents. We also know that parenting is seen as equally important no matter people’s gender.

Women in leadership programme

Our success as a business — now and in the future — will only be possible with a diverse senior leadership team. However, as with the industry as a whole, we still see too much imbalance.

Parent coaching programme

We know how important it is for our people to feel supported — especially when it comes to having a child. By being there for them through those critical first steps of parenting, we give them the support they need to balance home and work life, and to ultimately feel good about coming back to work.

Diversity and inclusion

We believe greater diversity leads to fresher thinking and more innovative solutions.

To make this more of a reality right across the investment industry, we are proud to be a core part of The Diversity Project, which aims to achieve diversity across gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic backgrounds, LGBTI+, age and disability.

Our values

A culture of collaboration thrives when everyone feels aligned around a common set of values.
