“Health is one of society’s major challenges. AXA wants to be an innovative player in order to provide everyone with solutions to access the best healthcare services,” said Thomas Buberl, CEO of AXA. “This starts with our employees around the world. This project takes on a special meaning at a time when the COVID-19 crisis is weakening our societies and the health of our employees is at the heart of our concern.”
“Following the adoption of our global parenting policy, AXA is taking another step in its strategy to align the benefits offered to employees around the world through a seamless employee experience. I am proud of this project, in which our social partners are involved, which reinforces our ambition to become one of the best companies to work for,” added Karima Silvent, chief human resources officer of AXA.
