We think there are a number of reasons as to why working at Hiscox can be so rewarding.
And while we know it’s not all about the money, a competitive salary and benefits package goes a long way when it comes to making the decision to come and work here. The specifics of our benefits vary from country to country, based on local labour laws and customs, but we try to ensure our packages are equal wherever you work.
Here’s what a career at Hiscox could offer:
- competitive salary and benefits
We offer a competitive salary and benefits package. Eligible employees are also entitled to a profit share and a personal performance-based bonus (these are based on company and personal performance). If you do a good job, your efforts will be rewarded.
- generous retirement benefits and insurances
We want to help you plan for the future, which is why we offer generous retirement benefits for when you finally hang up your corporate wear and decide to travel the world/dig your allotment/restore your classic car etc. Eligible employees also receive life insurance and health plans to help keep you and your family secure while you’re still working.
- save as you earn
Saving for something big? Our save as you earn scheme means you can save for the things that are important to you – a deposit for a first home, major home renovations, holidays and weddings. It allows you to save a fixed amount (between £5 and £500 each month for three years) and then at the end of the contract you have the opportunity to buy shares in Hiscox Ltd at a price that was fixed at the outset (the share price discounted by 20%) or take your full savings in cash.
- flexible working
Everyone across the Group has the opportunity to request flexible working and we’ll do what we can to make it happen.
- parental leave
Our policies differ by country. Please click here to see our parental leave policies across the Group.
- employee networks
We have a number of employee networks such as Parents and Care Givers and Women at Hiscox across the Group. These are open to anyone who wishes to join. You can find out more here.
- gym membership
A healthy body is a healthy mind so we’ll do our bit by offering subsidised gym memberships... you’ll have to do the hard yards on the treadmill though.
- a festive gift
All employees who join us by 1st June receive a gift in December (in the UK, people often tell us how much they like the food and wine hampers they receive).
- financial support for professional qualifications
We’ll support you financially as you study for relevant professional qualifications such as CII, CIPD and CIMA.
- long service awards
To recognise the dedication and contribution of our long-timers, all permanent employees receive a gift for their 10, 20, and 30 year anniversaries. - healthcare coverage
While our policies differ by country, supporting your health and wellbeing is our priority and we offer eligible employees access to healthcare. For US employees, we’ve provided machine readable files per the requirement under the United States’ federal Transparency in Coverage Rule here. These files are formatted to allow researchers, regulators, and application developers to more easily access and analyse data.
