AXA is looking to make changes to the way it consults with Unite in AXA to allow for more localised input into the process. Whilst for the majority of sites this is fine, those sites without reps could potentially find themselves at a disadvantage and both AXA and Unite are encouraging members in sites currently without a union to rep to step forward and make sure the views of members at these sites are heard.

Unite in AXA reps from across the UK are meeting in Eastbourne this week to discuss issues affecting members in AXA and undergo training on a variety of topics from social media to dignity at work. Two sessions have  also been organised by AXA HR for the reps to provide feedback on the recent changes to performance management in AXA as well as the new culture programme being rolled out by the company.
