About Legal & General

Legal and General Health and Wellbeing programme lies at the heart of the Group’s people strategy. In June they signed up to be a partner to the Governments Public Health Responsibility Deal, demonstrating their public commitment to the health and wellbeing of our employees. In May they signed the Time to Change pledge run by Rethink Mental Illness and Mind to help promote a better understanding of mental health problems while offering support and welfare advice for employees. In 2013 they launched a new visual identity for their Health and wellbeing programme called My Money, My Life, My Health. This provides a hub for employees to easily source information about the health benefits available and information on healthy eating, exercise as well as employee stories, news and features.

The company matches up to £25 of the employee's monthly 'Give as you earn' contribution.

In Legal and General their drive to create a transparent and straightforward place to work where all employees can perform at their best, is supported by the reward structure which is aligned to the performance management process. Their performance and reward process recognises how employees go about things, as well as what they achieve. A great performance is about delivering results in a way that lives up to the Legal and General goals, brand and demonstrates the six behaviours. An individual’s performance influences their salary and bonus. Salary is reviewed each year against how they have performed in their role and the bonus reflects how they have got on against their objectives and how they’ve gone about achieving them. Their salary and bonus pots always take into account company performance and the economic environment. Salary and bonus are part of the Total Reward package and sit alongside a wide range of financial, wellbeing, community benefits and staff discounts.
