This is followed by a Programme Induction where you’ll meet the Programme Leads and the other returners joining. During this time, you’ll find out more about Aviva, the Tech & Change Delivery Returner Programme and you’ll join your first of four Career Returners Coaching Workshops.
- You’ll then join your team where you’ll collaborate with lots of forward-thinking people – working alongside, sharing ideas with, and learning from the best in the business.
- You’ll get to work (and play) with all the latest tech and be involved in some fascinating initiatives to make life better for our 19.6 million customers or colleagues. Nothing beats the buzz of seeing a project you’ve worked on save a colleague valuable time or put a smile on a customer’s face.
- Throughout the Programme, you’ll have a great internal and external support to help you to transition successfully back into the workplace, including a Leader, Mentor and Buddy and specialised returner coaching.
- You’ll also enjoy the support of your peers and the Programme Leads on the returner programme and from previous cohorts.
