Total Rewards
An important part of our employees’ value proposition.
At AXA, our Total Rewards package is composed of compensation, employee shareholding, as well as the global We Care
program and local benefits. The objective is to provide a competitive, comprehensive, fair and inclusive rewards package, while also aligning with our sustainability strategy.
How we approach compensation
Our people are our potential. We build our compensation packages for fairness and belonging, to ensure we continue to attract and motivate the diverse talent that makes us stronger.
We do it four ways:
- Pay for performance
AXA’s Remuneration Policy makes sure that pay reflects an employee’s role, skills, contributions, and impact while also being free from all forms of bias. We reward both individual achievements and team success, making sure hard work and results are recognized at every level. - Fair pay
We review Equal Pay and Living Wage annually to eliminate bias and are committed to paying all employees above the living wage. We are proud to be recognized as a Global ‘Living Wage Employer’ by the Fair Wage Network since 2023. - Market competitiveness
We regularly benchmark salaries against local market conditions and industry standards to keep our offering appropriate for the region and economy in which we operate. - Sustainable impact incentives
We make sure sustainability is a factor embedded in our reward structures to drive positive change.

We Care
: how we make sure benefits for beyond the workplace
We Care
is a holistic program providing employees a wide range of support across different stages of their lives, including the unexpected moments. In compliance with local practices and legislation, we care to give our people more time and space to deal with what matters to them wherever they are in the world.
The program sets global minimum standards, and some entities may decide to exceed the amounts offered based on local context. As a global organization, we recognize the need to be location-driven when it comes to benefit plans. Depending on where an employee lives, our benefits either complement programs run by national systems, or serve as the primary source of support.
