Our purpose
We are a purposeful, commercial organisation. Bupa's purpose is: longer, healthier, happier lives. It defines everything we do and is the reason we exist. With no shareholders, our profits are reinvested to provide more and better healthcare fulfilling our purpose.
As a leading global health and care company, we offer health insurance, medical subscription and other health and care funding products; we run care homes, retirement and care villages, primary care, diagnostic and wellness centres, hospitals and dental clinics. We also provide workplace health services, health assessments and long-term condition management services.
Help us help people live longer, healthier, happier lives.
We employ 84,000 people who are making this a reality for our 32 million customers in 190 countries worldwide. Do you want to play a part in our success? If you have the belief, drive and the talent to help us in our ambition to become a true healthcare partner, then we want to hear from you!
Being on the frontline of healthcare, our people are focused on improving the health of millions. We all want to make a real difference in tackling the toughest challenges in healthcare.
Achieving our ambitious goals depends on the dedication and talent of all our people, working in new and innovative ways that bring our purpose – longer, healthier, happier lives – to life.
Our people
We are a people-based organisation. Creating an organisation where our people love to work benefits them, our customers and our business.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Bupa full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Strong purpose and clear strategy. People really do make Bupa a great place to work. ‘People love working at Bupa and customers at the heart’ - this is what it’s all about. Being a large and complex organisation gives lots of career / development opportunities - lots of projects / initiatives that people can get involved in (obviously if performing / demonstrating great behaviours and mindset)
Great benefits and health & wellbeing initiatives. I personally love the flexible working approach - I’m trusted to be able to work from home if I’m not needed in the office and technology is available to enable people to do this. (Obviously dependant on they type of work / role you have)Cons
As with all large organisations- implementing successful change can be like turning the titanic with a rowing paddle. More investment is required for change elements of projects. Sometimes it can take a long time to get decisions made due to large numbers of stakeholders being involved.
Advice to Management
Create more direct avenues and channels to senior leaders to hear directly from front line staff - rather than through various layers of management. This leads to things being sugar coated by the time it reaches the top.
