To cultivate respect, fairness, and positive recognition of differences among its employees, AXA Philippines has introduced a series of programs that aim to promote inclusion and diversity in the workplace.
“AXA Philippines highly values inclusivity and diversity in the workplace, even moreso now as we face these difficult times. By celebrating the differences and uniqueness of our employees, we are allowing them to thrive and grow personally and at work,” said Rahul Hora, AXA Philippines president and chief executive officer.
To further strengthen its commitment to inclusion and diversity, AXA has implemented the Zero Tolerance Discrimination policy, as well as free sign language classes for employees to help prepare the organization for inclusive hiring. In addition, AXA empowers employees through groups like allies@axapride,and WoMen@axa.
AXA Philippines has also been shining the spotlight on mental health through the #HowAreYou Mental Health Awareness campaign to encourage open and honest conversations on mental health among the employees, its clients, and the community at large. The organization also provides learning modules to increase employees’ awareness on mental health and how to deal with it.
As part of its corporate social responsibility programs, AXA has partnered with non-government organizations, such as Project Inclusion for persons with disabilities and Best Buddies for persons with intellectual disabilities.
Furthermore, among its initiatives is the Parent Policy, which was launched in 2017, making it one of the first local inclusive policies for employees which removes gender bias of maternal or paternal policy complete with a 112-day maternity leave.
“AXA Philippines always strives to maintain a culture that does not alienate anyone. With our policies, trainings, projects, and leadership, we make sure that our company is not only accepting and open for all—this inclusion of thoughts and ideas becomes our competitive advantage,” said Jaspreet Kakar, AXA Philippines chief human resource officer.
While AXA Philippines already has diversity and inclusion initiatives in place, it will also continue to develop and evolve with the ever-changing social landscape through initiatives that value their employees and the communities’ differences and helps protect them, especially amid these difficult times.
