Culture
Employee ownership means independence and empowerment. We have always been an employee-owned and driven by entrepreneurial spirit. Our business succeeds by allowing our people to mark In the areas they come most about: personal development, volunteering and fundraising for charity, or creating new insurance products that address society’s greatest challenges. Starting and building a career in insurance is hugely rewarding. And at Howden, we put our people first in everything we do.
Values
Big on inclusion - We’ve always been committed to the idea that everyone’s voice should be heard. Every employee should feel valued and respected. We want everyone to feel that they belong. Inclusion is something Howden people genuinely care about and support. Respect at Howden - RESPECT is a large group of employee volunteers who are passionate about nurturing and developing Howden’s inclusive culture. It is an employee-led initiative - this is highly unusual in a large company, so we are told - and it goes far beyond box ticking.
