Employee Resource Groups at Aviva

National Inclusion Week 2023 at Aviva

This week is National Inclusion Week 2023, which is all about taking action and making impact.

We’re lucky to have a wonderful group of Aviva Communities who Take Action Make Impact - not just this week, but every week of the year!

Let’s take a look around our Communities “flower” and hear why their Co-Chairs think these networks are so valuable to our colleagues and customers:

• AvivAbility ERG – developing a disability smart workplace
• Aviva Balance ERG – supporting gender parity
• Aviva Carers ERG– supporting carers and parents
• Aviva Generations ERG– an intergenerational workplace
• Aviva Origins ERG – celebrating difference
• Aviva Pride ERG – being yourself at work, LGBT  

The Co-Chairs (Anna, Gavin, Georgina, Holly, Jennifer, Jordan, Josi, Maiko, Molly, Natalie, Sara and Zoe) are also Community-Maker finalists in our internal ACE Awards on Thursday - good luck to you all!

ERGs are a safe place to share thoughts and experiences. They:

• Promote change, while building relationships with colleagues, leaders and partners.
• Help make sure our policies and approaches are consistent globally.
• Give our people a chance to develop outside their role.

Boosting Diversity in Financial Services

In September 2023 the PRA and the Financial Conduct Authority proposed new measures to boost diversity and inclusion in financial services.

This is a priority issue for Aviva and our Group CEO Amanda Blanc.

Our global employee resource groups (ERGs) are one of the ways we’re working together to become more diverse and inclusive. They help make sure everyone can have a voice here.
