All perspectives welcome
At Aviva Investors, diversity and inclusion isn’t an initiative – it’s how we thrive. We build teams where different perspectives, experiences, and ideas power innovation and progress. Recognised as a Disability Confident Leader, we champion equality in action – because when you belong, you thrive.
Diverity, equity & inclusion in action
Fair pay and equal opportunity are fundamental to who we are. We’re committed to building a workplace where everyone – regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background – has the opportunity to succeed and grow.
We track and report our pay gaps because transparency drives progress. While we’ve made strides, we remain focused on increasing representation at all levels and making sure talent is recognised, developed, and rewarded fairly.
When you join us, you’ll be part of an organisation that actively invests in creating an inclusive, equitable, and diverse workplace – one where your potential is valued, and your success is supported.
Parenting without compromise
Becoming a parent is life-changing – your leave should reflect that.
We offer 26 weeks of fully paid parental leave to all colleagues, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, or how they became parents*. Because bonding with your child shouldn’t be rushed or restricted.
A growing number of colleagues are taking advantage of this policy, with men making up nearly half of all leave-takers. We believe that every parent deserves time to adjust, connect, and thrive in both their family and career.
*Eligibility varies by country and requires a minimum of 26 weeks of service.
Breaking barriers, building futures
Reverse mentoring: Elevating voices, driving change
We’re committed to fostering an inclusive environment where diverse perspectives are not only heard but valued. This initiative facilitates the sharing of lived experiences, deepens understanding, and drives meaningful change from the top down.
Career returners: Bringing talent back
We know that career breaks shouldn’t mean career barriers. That’s why our Career Returners programme helps finance professionals – especially women – return to the investment sector with confidence.
Run in partnership with Career Returners, you are supported in your return through a structured programme. What started as an initiative in 2018 has now become a key talent pipeline, strengthening both our business and the wider industry.
The Diversity Project: Industry-wide change
We’re proud to be a partner of the Diversity Project, an initiative dedicated to building a more inclusive investment and savings industry.
Through collaborative action across the sector, we’re working to create an environment where talent is recognised, careers are accessible, and diversity is the norm – not the exception.
