The AXA Philippines story

AXA Philippines started in 1999 as a joint venture among AXA Group, GT Capital Holdings, and Metrobank. Since then, the company has rapidly grown as one of the biggest insurance providers in the Philippines.

Being one of the pioneers of bancassurance operations and investment-linked insurance, AXA Philippines caters to more than 1.5 million individuals. The company offers five primary insurance products:

  1. Educational plans
  2. Health coverage
  3. Income protection
  4. Personal insurance
  5. Savings and investments

In 2016, AXA Philippines expanded its operations by acquiring Charter Ping An. The acquisition allowed the company to provide a full suite of life and non-life insurance products including commercial, lifestyle, and motor insurance.

The culture

The company’s culture revolves around the One AXA Culture mantra. It strikes a balance between professional growth and personal well-being development. This becomes evident with different opportunities for employees to maximize their full potential.

AXA Philippines also fosters a healthy and interesting workplace environment by having 12 employee clubs:

  1. AXA Badminton
  2. AXA Basketball
  3. AXA Beats
  4. AXA Bowling
  5. AXA Chorale
  6. AXA eSports
  7. AXA Football
  8. AXA Makeup
  9. AXA Mountaineers
  10. AXA Photography
  11. AXA Triathlon
  12. AXA Volleyball

In terms of work-life balance, most employees report to work during regular hours between Monday and Friday. Fresh grads should invest in business-style clothing because of the company’s dress code.

Insiders advise young new hires to prepare for a challenging workload driven by metrics, especially sales employees. As an example, AXA Philippines may reevaluate an employee for three months after being unable to hit sales targets.

The competition

AXA Philippines’ local and foreign competitors include Allianz PNB Life, BPI-Philam Life Assurance, Manulife Philippines, Pru Life UK, and Sun Life Philippines.

Controversy

In 2021, AXA Group said that a ransomware incident affected its subsidiaries in Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand. Cybercriminals reportedly stole 3 terabytes of data, including medical records.

Social contributions

AXA Philippines’ corporate social responsibility programs include youth development and volunteerism among employees. In 2016, the company sponsored the education of 10 children as part of its partnership with Young Focus.

AXA Philippines employees also volunteered in 2020 to support social advocacies in climate change, physical and mental health, and social inclusion amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
