ARAG UK was founded in 2006 with a simple yet revolutionary vision: Every individual should be able to assert his or her rights, not just those who can afford it.
The organisation is committed to supporting the professional development and personal growth of its people, including qualifications from The Chartered Insurance Institute and The Institute of Leadership.
It also has highly committed charity and wellbeing teams, comprising staff from across the company, along with Mental Health First Aid training for all managers. ARAG ensures its employees have a chance to socialise outside of the workplace by holding quarterly staff social events; from escape rooms to cocktail making and cheese & wine tasting.
Today, the company’s brand is recognised in the legal and insurance market as a symbol of quality and trust, as well as a great place to work. ARAG provides an extensive range of Before-the-Event and After-the-Event legal insurance products and services, as well as a portfolio of emergency assistance policies.
Its leadership, provided by a highly experienced team, combined with shared values, and a robust product innovation programme, has enabled ARAG to grow consistently year on year. With offices in Bristol and London, it ranks as one of the best companies to work for in the insurance industry and one of the best in the South West.
I am happy with the balance between my work and home life
ARAG’s Wellbeing Champions meet regularly to discuss what they can do to help staff both proactively and reactively. Recent discussions have included the benefits of music and the reasons to hold meetings whilst walking. The company puts wellbeing at the heart of its manager check-in process, so colleagues know there are spaces for tough conversations.
This organisation is run on strong values / principles
The leadership team and other key staff use an all-staff cinema event to communicate the company’s overarching strategic goals. These goals are utilised throughout ARAG’s performance management system to ensure all staff can clearly see what their efforts mean to those goals. Clarity of message is reinforced through fortnightly updates led by the Managing Director.
I believe I can make a valuable contribution to the success of this organisation
Clarity is an essential value to ARAG. Company comms are achieved through a number of ways, including online video calls from key managers and leadership team members, general initiatives and outcomes that staff are not only responsible for but passionate about, news posts, intranet pages, videos, animations, and more.

Engagement is a top-level strategic goal for ARAG under, so the annual findings of the Best Companies Survey are extremely valuable to us. We have gladly used the feedback of our colleagues to drive people management and personal growth practices across the business; not with the aim of collecting stars or a higher league table position, but because it’s the right thing to do for everyone. Our managers are equally responsible for building on our previous successes, and they do so by consulting with their staff and working closely with our HR team. Ultimately, we know that a diverse, passionate, and engaged workforce can deliver a better service to our customers and be fully committed to our founding principle of access to justice.
