Super news! We have been recognised by Employers for Carers as a Carer Confident Accomplished Employer. We are so excited to be recognised through this accreditation. At Phoenix, we believe it’s vital that our colleagues have the support they need to manage their responsibilities outside of work. With 13.6 million people supplying unpaid care in the UK and around 5 million people juggling this care around full-time jobs, ensuring that our colleagues with caring responsibilities are well supported is something we are rightly proud of.
Our very own Sara Thompson, Group HR Director, was interviewed recently by FTAdviser about why diversity, equity and inclusion is part of our purpose. Sara talks about the launch of 'Who We Are', which was an anonymised app-based questionnaire which helped us understand more about our colleagues. Approximately 80% of our people talked about various DE&I issues, such as their mental health requirements, social mobility issues, gender, identity and caring responsibilities.

Our parental leave policy offers all parents – male and female – 26 weeks off at full pay following the birth or adoption of a child. We recognise that having a family is a life-changing event, and providing a welcoming and supportive environment for parents is vital to retaining talent and experience. Just one of the many benefits which helps us on our mission for Phoenix Group being the best place our colleagues have worked. #LifeAtPhoenix
'Best employee experience campaign' award winners! Our Join and Thrive induction programme has won an award at the Internal Communications and Engagement (ICE) awards. Join and Thrive has been running since 2020 and has seen over 1,366 colleagues complete their induction in that time. A huge well done to the team who work hard on evolving the look and feel of the program to ensure it continues to meet the needs of our new colleagues.
We realise many of our colleagues will be impacted by the current cost of living crisis. To help them with the challenges, we will be giving them a £1,000 net lump sum payment, along with additional support options. As always, we strive for this to be the best place our colleagues have ever worked and we hope this will help provide them with a little extra support when they need it most. #LifeAtPhoenix
We’re so proud to announce that we’ve had two successes at the FT Adviser Diversity in Finance Awards, where we won: • Employer of the Year (Large Firm) – Phoenix Group • Diversity Champion of the Year (Large Company) – Imran Khan, Business Development Manager Our purpose is to ‘help people secure a life of possibilities’, and it’s underpinned by three sustainability pillars, one of which is “building a leading responsible business.” Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion sits at the very heart this pillar and is integral to our purpose. It’s absolutely fantastic to be recognised for our work in this field– both as an employer, and for Imran, who works alongside many other fantastic passionate promoters in all areas of our business. Winning these awards is evidence that we’re making real progress, both at a corporate and individual level. We’re not going to rest where we are. This is just the start – we’ll continue to listen, collaborate with and learn from others to ensure Phoenix Group truly is the best place that any of us have ever worked.
We're partnering with Rest Less, the UK's leading digital community for the over 50s, to promote 100 roles as part of our age diverse recruitment strategy. All the roles advertised focus on skills and behaviours and are being offered on a flexible, hybrid, full and part-time working basis, giving greater flexibility for those who need to balance work with caring or other responsibilities. The adverts also avoid using language that research shows could deter older applicants. This is because some people will rule themselves out of even applying if they feel the role is meant to appeal to a younger audience. Age diverse recruitment is part of Phoenix Group’s wider Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DE&I) strategy and we're thrilled to share this partnership with you!
2021 was a pivotal year for us. With record cash generation, a resilient balance sheet and record growth, we are well positioned as a growing, sustainable business to deliver our purpose and strategy. We're growing and it's a great time to join and grow with us. #AnnualResults
Today we unveiled our new visual identity! We're the UK’s largest long-term savings and retirement business, and as part of our evolution from a traditional closed book consolidator, to a purpose-led business with growing consumer brands, we are delighted to share our new look with you. The new visual identity looks to reflect our purpose - “helping people secure a life of possibilities”- and the modern organisation that we are today. As we continue to evolve, we will use our platform here on Glassdoor to share a glimpse in to life at Phoenix.
