We’re playing our part in building a workplace that makes the world a better place.

The feeling's mutual

We’re welcoming, friendly, flexible and make sure you always feel included. Royal London is a place where everyone wants to be.

We have a unique culture across Royal London which is underpinned by our Spirit of Royal London values. These values help us all work together to deliver the best outcomes to our customers and are integral to continuing to make Royal London a great place to work for our colleagues.

Your wellbeing

It is vital that we support the mental health and wellbeing of our colleagues. By doing so, colleagues are better able to deliver high quality outcomes for our customers. Together, as part of our Spirit of Royal London, we can create an environment in which people across the business feel able to discuss their mental health, to seek assistance and to receive the support they need. To achieve this we provide a wide range of practical support alongside awareness and cultural approaches covering physical, financial and mental wellbeing. We also have a programme of trained Mental Health First Aiders covering our organisation across the UK and Ireland.

Our inclusion networks

We champion an inclusive culture, supporting colleague representation and our inclusion networks, which you can read more about below, with a programme of activities and events.

Our networks work with our leadership and play an integral role in driving forward our commitments made under the HM Treasure Women in Finance Charter, Race at Work Charter and as part of our Disability Confident Employer status.
Our REACH Network logo.

Our race, ethnicity and cultural heritage (REACH) network aims is to provide a space for all ethnicities to connect, share experiences and take action to promote race equality and diversity - educating, engaging and empowering. The network showcases the diversity, breadth of skills and knowledge everyone brings and colleagues are encouraged to participate by promoting awareness and embracing our rich cultural diversity.

Our DAWN logo.

Our disability awareness network (DAWN) aims to raise awareness and combat stigma and stereotypes faced by people with disabilities, both visible and hidden. Their key areas of focus include developing insight and awareness, building confidence and helping foster an inclusive workforce where colleagues feel supported, having access to the right equipment and supporting people to feel able to progress and develop their skills and careers.

Our PRIDE Network logo.

Our PRIDE Network is where LGBTQ+ colleagues and allies alike can come together as a community and where members can feel comfortable sharing their experiences and connect with one another. The network aims to support members so they feel confident in their roles and achieving their personal and career development.

Our Women's Network logo.

Our Women's Network is a community that celebrates and supports its members, helps everyone to learn more and inspires all of us to aim higher. Confidence and development are strong themes here and our events focus on three key areas of team working, finance, and wellbeing. There are two sub-groups - Women in Technology, and our Periods and Menopause Group focused on actions such as supporting over our Periods and Menopause Champions and launching guidance and training for leaders.

Colleague representation

All colleagues are supported and represented by the Colleague Representative Forum (CRF) which works to help improve working life at Royal London. The CRF is central to bringing colleague voice to our most senior leaders. There are over 50 trained colleague representatives led by a full-time Principal Officer, supported by two part-time Deputies, with each business area having a Lead Representative to engage with the local business leaders.

Gender pay gap

We’re determined to reduce our gender pay gaps. We know it won’t happen overnight, but we're working diligently to make changes that have a lasting impact on the business. Our gender pay gap report shows the gaps across our business, outlines why we have these gaps and sets out what we are doing to address them. By understanding the gaps, we can better focus our attention on the initiatives that will make a real difference.
