Pros

This is far and away the best place I have ever worked. It makes other York employers seem like they're from another planet. The HR team are outstanding and the recruitment process was quick, efficient and warm. I cannot even begin to touch on how brilliant the training team are. Put simply, every company will say they put the customer first. This is the first time I have believed it. This is the first time I have seen a level of investment that empowers individuals to do the very best for each called, safe in the knowledge that managers trust their discretion and want the best outcomes for those we insure.

Advice to Management

It feels like there are a lot of people suffering with stress. We get lots of lovely tips on how to eat better etc but you are not dealing with the root problem.
Flexible working is not nearly as flexible as our competition, this will affect us as more people have kids.
It feels like ‘it’s not what you know but who you know’ when it comes to recruitment. I think you are aware of it but steps taken do not go far enough.
We work for a great company but there are underlying problems that we need to resolve.
