Our people are the heartbeat of our business, driving our performance and reinforcing our position as one of the world’s leading investment banks. As such, we ensure they have the choice, environment and opportunity to be the best they can be.
At the very top of our agenda is their health and wellbeing. That’s why we’ve placed ‘Our People’ as one of the key pillars of our CSR strategy.
PUT SOME FACES TO THE NAME
Meet some of our people and get a better understanding of who we are.
A MORE REWARDING CHOICE
Everyone’s different, so it makes sense that we provide a flexible benefits package that can be tailored to individual lifestyles. Our rewards package, Spectrum, gives you the choice to add or remove, and flex up or down, certain benefits to best suit you.
Whatever you choose you can look forward to the following core benefits as standard:
-
Pension
12% of your salary is automatically paid into a plan in your name through our Group Pension Scheme.
-
Healthcare
We’ll provide you and your family with a comprehensive level of cover through AXAPPP Healthcare.
-
Life assurance
12.5 times your annual salary will be paid to your nominated beneficiary in the event of your death.
-
Income protection
You’ll be covered for up to 75% of your salary if you are unable to work through illness.
That’s just a taste. You’ll also benefit from a UK tax-efficient Share Incentive Plan (SIP), a global discounted Share Purchase Plan (DSPP), dental care, subsidised gym arrangements, an employee discounts scheme, a subsidised restaurant and much more.
