Prudential

About Us

Prudential is one of the largest and most successful insurance companies in the world with a proud history stretching back over 160 years.

In the UK, we are an acknowledged leader in helping people save for and enjoy income in retirement. Our key products are pensions, investments, annuities (retirement income) and life assurance.

This success is built on our investment, longevity and insurance expertise and in these changing times, an enviable reputation for financial and brand strength. We also have a remarkable track record of innovation. We were the first to introduce workplace pensions in 1929, insurance policies for children in 1856 and for single women in 1926. More recently, our growing range of retirement options reflects this talent for innovative thinking.

In the UK, we have 2,800 employees serving around 7 million customers with office locations in London, Reading, Stirling, Dublin and Mumbai. In addition to serving our customers directly, we work with Financial Advisers all over the UK and provide corporate pension schemes to over 20% of Britain’s top 350 companies.

Diversity

Our proud tradition of diversity stretches all the way back to 1871 when we were one of the first companies in the City of London to employ female clerks.

Having a diverse workforce is a huge asset when you consider the huge variety of customers we serve and we are committed to one that reflects the diversity of our local communities. The working environment is designed to be friendly, supportive and professional. Our goal is that everyone is treated fairly, with respect and has the opportunity to reach their full potential within the company.

This means adhering firmly to the following principles:

· respect the values and beliefs of others
· encourage and be able to work constructively with different perspectives
· challenge where we find prejudice
· think about the impact diversity has on our everyday work activities
· open our minds to unintentional barriers, and be prepared to consider different ways of doing things

We regularly monitor diversity issues and the results are used proactively along with feedback from our employee survey which helps us assess the effectiveness of our Equal Opportunities Policy.
