An inclusive and supportive career path
From inclusive and empowering work environments to flexible working policies, at Zurich, we strive to provide support and opportunities for all our employees. For more information on what a Zurich career could look like for you, take a look at the links below.
Our departments
Are you new to the insurance industry and want to know more about the departments in an insurance company? Find out what it means to work in the specific area.
Our employee benefits
At Zurich we offer a wide range of employee benefits so our people can choose what fits them and their life with real flexibility that allows for considered choices and the ability to tailor their benefits throughout the year.
Our family friendly policy
We all have different situations and responsibilities when it comes to starting or extending your family. That’s why our approach allows every parent to spend quality time off with their new family from the point of birth or adoption.
Our flexible working policy
All new vacancies at Zurich are available on a part-time, job-share or full-time basis because we know the best person for the job isn’t always available full-time.
Workskills programme
The Zurich Workskills programme is a six month employment placement opportunity open to those who are facing barriers to employment, or who have been unemployed for an extended period.
Employee consultation
We recognise both Unite (for 550+ Engineer Surveyors) and Community Trade Unions (for the rest of the UK 4,000+ employees).
We have established joint consultation groups for both populations, which bring together representatives from each union with employees and senior leaders. The National Partnership group (for Engineer Surveyors) chaired by the Head of Engineering and UK Employee Consultation Board (for the rest of the UK), chaired by an Executive Committee member, have a high profile and significant level of influence.
In 2018 we supplemented the formal consultation bodies with ‘Organisational Health Groups’ which engage employees at a local level on all employee matters, including wellbeing, diversity and inclusion, environment and culture.
In unprecedented times
Sometimes things don't work out the way we'd like, and in some unprecedented scenarios such as redundancies, changes to pension schemes, or the selling off of the business it is a legal obligation for businesses to inform and consult their employees.
With this in mind, we recognise both Unite and Community Trade Unions and have established joint consultation groups which bring together representatives from each union with employees and senior leaders. The National Partnership group for Engineer Surveyors (chaired by the Head of Engineering) and UK Employee Consultation Board for the rest of the UK (chaired by an Executive Committee member) have a high profile and significant level of influence.
