Our benefits

At Aegon, our salaries are competitive – and reviewed against industry standards. We review salaries annually and colleagues also have the opportunity to participate in our bonus scheme subject to bonus scheme eligibility criteria.

We offer a minimum of 25 holiday days – plus bank holidays. There’s the ability to manage your time off with freedom and flexibility through a holiday trading scheme, too.

For families, we offer 26 weeks of full pay for both maternity and adoption leave – and six weeks of full pay for paternity. These can also be combined into shared parental leave, depending on your family’s needs.

As the UK’s largest investment platform, we understand the importance of financial wellbeing, which is why we help colleagues prepare and plan for retirement.

We offer a workplace pension scheme, and we'll contribute between 8 and 12% of your salary, depending on your age, and you can even top up your contributions through a tax-efficient salary sacrifice plan.

If you're absent from work through illness we're here to help. Our Income Protection Scheme provides support to help you get back to work.  If you're unable to work longer term, the scheme can pay up to 70% of your salary for up to 3 years (subject to scheme rules). If you die whist in service, your family can receive six times your annual salary.

We believe in the power of in-person collaboration, and our hybrid model requires colleagues to be in the office a minimum of 40% of their time. We want to help our people enjoy their commute to the office more.

That's why we offer colleagues the chance to lease a brand-new, fully maintained and insured electric, hybrid or low-emission vehicle for up to four years. 

For those who favour two-wheels over four, we have a Cycle2Work scheme which allows you to fund a bike of your choice from salary deductions over the course of 12 months.

And, if you prefer public transport, we offer interest-free loans to pay for six- or 12-month travel passes, deducted from your salary over several months. 

We offer a lucrative rewards scheme, with access to supermarket vouchers, money-off meals out and instant discounts off cinemas, or on your favourite places to shop.

You will enjoy access to retail vouchers that give you discounts on all kinds of purchases – from shopping to major buys at department stores to cinema visits, meals out and even holidays.

These savings can be made through reloadable gift cards, e-vouchers, cashback offers and exclusive discount codes.

Although we offer a range of financial benefits, sometimes you just need somebody to talk to. We know there’s more to life than money, which is why we’re here to help you make the most of your time here – through ups and downs.

Our Employee Assistance Programme offers a confidential support service, and structured counselling sessions are available anytime.

Meanwhile, the Peppy Digital Health App provides wide-ranging support on key wellbeing issues, ranging from the menopause, fertility and childbirth to women’s and men’s health topics at every stage of life.
