Learning and Development

We believe in the value of training and development for our people, as well as supporting their personal growth. Accessible learning and development are fundamental to this.

Whatever your role or level of experience, everyone benefits from a learning and development framework designed to meet your needs, realise your potential and reach your goals.

ARAG has a culture of internal mobility and progression. Recognising your individual skills and drive for personal development, we will work hard to match your aspirations with our opportunities.

Vacancies are advertised internally, so there are plenty of opportunities for progression and people are encouraged to achieve professional qualifications.

Inclusion:

We know that simply having a diverse workforce is not enough. We want to create an inclusive environment where everyone can contribute their best work and reach their full potential.

We want to celebrate the fact that everyone is different yet valued and to make sure that every employee is treated with dignity and respect. We celebrate diversity and encourage employees to be their distinctive authentic self.

We have an inclusion taskforce sponsored and attended by our CEO composed of members of our various diversity networks. The group meet to discuss challenges and ideas from the networks in order to ensure that we make ARAG an inclusive place to work.

Each network has its own EMC (Exec Management Committee) sponsor who works as part of the network to support and encourage their objectives. The individual networks have their own objectives and calendar of activity to engage employees across the company.

Unity - Our Multi-cultural network

We aim to create a support system for members of the BAME community and our allies where we can discuss a range of topics, uncover issues and collectively find solutions to barriers in the workplace.

Spark – Our Women’s network

We provide a supportive forum for women across ARAG UK to challenge gender bias and help create a more inclusive culture.

Proud – Our LGBTQ+ Network

Our aim is to support LGBTQ+ individuals across the business and foster an open working culture that demands respect for all employees.

Family Network

We’re focused on supporting everyone to achieve a healthy work and family life, bringing values we all hold to be important in our personal lives into our working culture at ARAG.

Heart – Our Health and Disability network

All too often, disability can be seen as a problem by employers – something that means you are either ill or that your job performance is suffering. That's not how we see it.

Corporate Social Responsibility

At ARAG, we are committed to doing the right thing for our customers, employees, community and environment. We constantly strive to develop and improve our CSR programme, and pride ourselves on being a responsible business.
