AND-E UK wins Best Employer – Large Insurer in the Insurance Post Awards
Employee-voted award underlines people focused ethos of motor insurer
With almost 600 colleagues employed across its UK operations in London and Newcastle, AND-E delivers insurance services both direct to consumers and businesses and on behalf of strategic partners, with a vision ‘To lead the way in connected mobility protection’.
“This win reflects our fantastic people who make AND-E a great place to work”, explained Gemma Robinson, People and Culture Director, AND-E UK. “AND-E is an ambitious business and we cannot achieve those ambitions without our dedicated teams. That’s why we are committed to putting our people first. We don’t just talk about putting our people first, we make sure they know they really do come first.
“We care about our people help them grow and we support the health and wellbeing of them and their families. It is an honour to have been named Best Employer – Large Insurer by Insurance Post, but more importantly it demonstrates that we are doing right by our people because it’s their votes that meant we won.”
The employee benefits and rewards, the company’s approach to people development and the way colleagues interact with each other all demonstrate that AND-E is more than just an insurance company. AND-E is with its people, no matter what their journey. The company recognises that each individual’s journey is rarely linear. And it understands the value of providing great career development opportunities to all corners of the business.
Gemma Robinson continued: “We show our people we genuinely care; it’s nothing more complicated than that. This gives them the confidence, trust and support to try something new and uncover a career that really excites them.”
Warren Hetz, CEO, AND-E UK added: “A business can only reach its full potential when its entire team is united in its ambition, and where everyone knows they are valued as an individual. We have invested a huge amount of time and effort in ensuring that our people are heard, feel part of our journey and understand the part they play in our success.
“This award is a win for the entire business, every member of the team, as well as a clear demonstration to anyone looking for an opportunity to build a career, that AND-E is a place where ambition and the progression of our people is central to our success”.
