Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
Looking after, supporting, and protecting people is in our DNA, and this starts with our people. We have an inclusive and supportive culture, full of people who are encouraged to bring their true self to work. AA Insurance strives to create an internal community that is driven by acceptance, education, and celebration of the uniqueness of every person who works here.
Our Employee Action Groups are responsible for identifying initiatives to meet the needs of members of their groups. Driving initiatives and change, our variety of Employee Action Groups are welcome to all employees and allies who support and advocate for initiatives from all different roles, backgrounds, and parts of Aotearoa.
As an organisation, we've chosen to report on the pay gap at AA Insurance to help create fair outcomes for all employees. Gender pay equity is about ensuring people performing the same role are paid the same, regardless of gender, and that women and men performing different work of equal or comparable value are paid equitably. Measuring and understanding our pay gap is an important step in taking action and achieving gender pay equity.
Culture
We provide our people with a safe and supportive environment where everyone's voice matters. We grow, nurture, and promote a diverse and inclusive workforce to bring the best out of our people. Our teams are passionate and driven by the difference they can make to the lives of New Zealanders.
Our values
It's our vision to earn the trust of every New Zealander by protecting what matters most. Our genuine values guide the way we act and go about doing things. Every member of our team plays an important role to bring our purpose of caring, helping, and getting things sorted for our customers.
