Abstract:
AXA aims to achieve gender parity across the company, with a specific focus on senior executives, while eliminating all pay gaps between men and women. AXA is committed to creating an environment that encourages and supports female talent by implementing a comprehensive range of initiatives aimed at fostering women’s access to management and leadership positions. Key Initiatives and Mechanisms: Talent Pipelines: Since 2006, AXA has developed pipelines designed to encourage female talent internally. These pipelines include coaching and mentoring programs that provide women with the necessary skills and guidance to advance within the company. Disciplined Recruitment and Training: AXA maintains a disciplined approach to appointments, training, and recruitment to ensure diversity in its workforce. This includes proactive recruitment efforts aimed at increasing female representation in key business functions such as actuarial work, underwriting, and other insurance roles traditionally dominated by men. Training on Sexism and Cognitive Bias: To address unconscious cognitive biases and combat sexism in the workplace, AXA has introduced training programs aimed at all AXA France employees. These training sessions focus on raising awareness about gender bias and promoting the feminization of certain professions within the insurance industry. Leadership Development: AXA has established several internal initiatives to promote female leadership, including the WoMen@AXAXL International Committee, which focuses on advocating for gender equality and providing support for female employees. Additionally, the Global Leadership Development Program offers intensive professional development opportunities to help women prepare for leadership roles, giving them the tools to excel in key management positions. Empowering Women and Men for Excellence: Through a culture of equality, AXA’s workplace policies, programs, and practices empower both women and men to achieve excellence. By fostering a supportive environment and providing equal opportunities, AXA ensures that both genders can thrive and contribute to the company's success. Target Group: The primary target group for these initiatives is women working at AXA, particularly those aspiring to management and leadership roles. AXA is focused on creating opportunities for female employees to ascend to executive positions, ensuring that gender diversity becomes an integral part of its leadership structure. Goals for 2023: AXA has set an ambitious goal to increase the number of women in management positions to 45% by 2023, demonstrating its strong commitment to promoting female leadership within the group. This goal not only reflects AXA's dedication to gender equality but also aligns with the company’s broader objective of ensuring equal representation at all levels of the organization. By implementing these initiatives, AXA is setting an industry benchmark for gender parity and leadership diversity, proving that a culture of equality can drive both innovation and business success. Through targeted strategies and a focus on eliminating gender disparities, AXA continues to be a leader in advancing gender equality in decision-making and building a more inclusive workplace.
