At Aviva, we believe that our employees are our pillars of strength, our most valued assets. It becomes imperative for us to hire the ‘right’ people for the ‘right’ job. Our “Creative Behaviour Evaluating Interview Process” is a holistic assessment procedure, which enables us to hire the best in the industry. We not only identify your core competencies, but also make sure that your intrinsic values match those of the organisation.
A value based induction programme is conducted for all our new team members to help them know and share our values and visions.

• Compensation

As an employer, understand the importance of compensation as a motivating factor. Our compensation philosophy is simple & fair, competitive and performance-based pay. This not only instills a sense of equity, but also acts like a catalyst for superior performances.

• Performance

Having a strong performance oriented culture; we constantly strive to nurture our employees so that they can outperform themselves.

'As a company we have a one word definition of talent - "You". This inclusive approach has appeal in creating a general positive feeling among employees, and acts as a driver to deliver in today's highly competitive marketplace with limited resources'.

Talent is diverse - we value it in all its forms - many organisations use the word 'talent' exclusively for a tiny proportion of their workforce. In contrast, we aspire to manage all Aviva people actively as 'talent'. However, what's right for one individual may be wrong for another. Therefore, we are more rigorous in the way we differentiate talent to ensure that what we ask of individuals is matched to what they are capable of .

At Aviva, we believe in enhancing the learning curve of our employees through targeted, well-rounded learning and development opportunities. For this, we organise various leadership development programmes. Some of these are as follows:

• Aviva Leadership Academy (ALA) - Aviva Plc., in collaboration with INSEAD Business School, France and the Centre for Creative Leadership, US, has initiated several leadership development programmes. We target these programmes at senior managers and/ or employees in critical roles to help them develop broad-based, decision-making capabilities and challenge employees to reach their potential.

• Accelerated Leadership Programme - We have designed this unique programme specifically for the middle management to help them enhance their managerial and leadership competencies. For this, we have a tie up with IIM, Ahmedabad.

• Building High Performance (BHP) - In partnership with Management Development Institute (MDI), Gurgaon, we have designed this programme to develop, reward and recognise outstanding performance and service excellence in employees at junior level itself.

We believe in building a nurturing culture through competitive remuneration and sustained development initiatives. We incentivise your accomplishments to encourage you to reach beyond the stars and further.
