Be yourself! We believe in you and would like you to be able to develop with us. We regard diversity, equal opportunities and inclusion as crucial success factors. And different perspectives as an enriching and creative resource.
Openness, respect, and appreciation of differences and similarities constitute essential characteristics of the way we work at AXA Switzerland. These principles help us to develop innovative solutions for our customers' expectations.
Diversity
Diversity is part of us – we reflect our society. Employees with different experiences and backgrounds are an important success factor for us and help us better understand our customers' needs and ultimately enable us to make a contribution to society. We therefore make every effort to continue promoting diversity in our teams and welcome applications from people of varying backgrounds.

Inclusion
We are doing all we can to create an inclusive and discrimination-free work environment. All our employees at AXA Switzerland should be respected, appreciated and have a sense of belonging.

Support in challenging situations
Challenging situations and low points are part of life. Have you been thrown out of kilter due to health, private or professional difficulties? We support you with our own internal point of contact to help guide and advise our employees and managers. We also actively promote the reintegration of employees who would like to start working again after a long illness.
Offers and measures:
- Reintegration: We support employees who want to return to work after a long illness
- Support days: Additional days off for employees and their partners to navigate challenging situations such as miscarriage, in-vitro fertilization, or domestic violence
Our work model supports diversity
We firmly believe that it’s your contribution that matters – rather than the place where you actually make your contribution. We therefore provide all our employees with a working environment in which everyone feels comfortable and has the same opportunities: Smart Working.
We take it seriously
Diversity, equal opportunities and inclusion are important to us.
