Investing in our people
Prudential UK has been recognised for its good practices in people management and development.
Investors In People Champion
In 2005 we were awarded 'Champion' status by Investors in People - the national standard for developing, rewarding and communicating with people.
This was renewed in 2008 for a further three years, and as a Champion, we work with other organisations to give guidance, share ideas and our successes. We also sit on the assessment panel for new applications.
Where Women Want To Work
In 2007 we were voted as one of the Times Top 50 organisations for Where Women Want to Work.
The list comprises the most progressive employers for recruiting, retaining and developing female talent.
Within the key areas looked at, we needed to demonstrate:
Opportunity - our unique selling points for potential employees, including our contribution to the sector.
As a company, our role is to help customers make informed decisions about their financial plans.
Progressiveness - our forward-thinking employee initiatives, such as our recruitment campaigns, flexible working structure, training and development, equal pay reviews, networking opportunities and support for those with families.
We genuinely believe that people are our greatest asset. For that reason, we want to recognise and reward the contribution our employees make to our overall success with a competitive benefits package.
Diversity - our workforce diversity, in the way we represent the customers and communities we serve.
Our focus on acting responsibly and with integrity is not new. It is a philosophy that we have striven to incorporate within the way we work throughout our history.
Connectivity - our modern technology and infrastructural processes, and how they allow more flexibility and mobility, transparent access to information and efficient processes.
Our intranet provides readily accessible content that helps employees understand the organisation and perform tasks associated with their roles as efficiently as possible.
Responsibility - showing why we are a good organisation to work for, and where employees are proud to work.
We are serious about conducting our business responsibly and are committed to supporting the local communities in which we operate.
