AXA UK

A huge thank you to the volunteers (and their canine companions) from Hearing Dogs For Deaf People who visited our offices in Bolton, Glasgow and Teesside 🐾 Our colleagues came along to meet the volunteers, learn about the work of a hearing dog, and volunteer a bit of their time to make dog toys that will help train the pups to support a deaf person 🐕🦺 A hearing dog alerts its owner to important sounds, like alarms, phones, babies crying, or people trying to get their attention. But they also provide valuable companionship and emotional support to help their owners feel less isolated. At AXA UK, our colleagues get 21 hours of volunteering leave every year, but this doesn't have to be a whole day out. Micro-volunteering events like these are a great way to have fun, learn new things and make a difference. #AXAUKCareers #KnowYouCan #IWDP

This #WorldMentalHealthDay what are you doing to look after you? 🧠 Here at AXA UK, wellbeing and the wellbeing of our people matters everyday. But this month is Healthy You month, and our people are getting involved in expert-led sessions with nutritionists, psychological coaches and move and stretch classes, as well as getting their steps in with our Step Challenge. Over the last few years there has been a positive shift towards recognising the need for more mental health awareness. But what is ‘mental health’? Understanding mental health is a key part of looking after your wellbeing. Join AXA Health Lead Consultant Clinical Psychologist Dr. Imren Sterno for her thoughts, as she explains what mental health is, and what you can do to start looking after your own mind health. #HealthyYou #KnowYouCan #WorldMentalHealthDay

🌟 Did you know the typical small business owner juggles at least five different roles? 🌟 From accountancy to IT support, running a small business demands a lot – and according to our latest research, over a third (34%) of SME owners have tackled social media promotion, while 21% have taken a crash course in legal matters. It’s no surprise then that SME owners estimate they work three days' worth of overtime each week, outside of their ‘normal’ hours, to keep their businesses running smoothly. Yet, despite their incredible efforts, 29% admit they’ve made significant mistakes due to lack of expertise in key areas. At AXA UK, we understand how challenging it can be to balance all the demands of your business. That’s why we’re committed to supporting SME owners every step of the way. Our CEO, Tara Foley shares: “We understand the challenges small business owners face and by making sure they only pay for what they need when it comes to insurance, plus providing a range of business tools and a 24/7 health support line, we are helping them to thrive.” What’s been the most unexpected role you’ve had to take on as a business owner?

Wearing too many hats while running your small business?🎩 At AXA UK, we understand the unique challenges that come with running a small business. Small business owners are the backbone of the UK economy, yet many find themselves juggling more roles than expected. 📊 Our recent research highlights that 73% of SME owners are required to take on more roles than they anticipated, with 84% feeling they’ve become “Jack of all trades” to keep their businesses operational. From accounting to marketing—even cleaning—many such tasks end up pulling them away from their core passion and the actual day job. We get it. But with AXA UK by your side, being self-employed shouldn’t be a risk. We're committed to providing the support and tailored insurance solutions small business owners need to focus on growing their business. What roles do you juggle in your business? Let us know in the comments. #KnowYouCan #SME #Entrepreneurship #InsuranceSolutions #BusinessOwners
