Life at M&G
Creating a work life partnership
We want M&G to be a place where you enjoy coming to work and are encouraged to reach your full potential. At the heart of this is our work life partnership. We’ve created an environment where everyone can be their best self and where we help you to balance work and life in a way that works for you, your colleagues and our customers.
We’ve built a culture that creates winners
One team, made up of diverse experts, challenging themselves and each other to perform their best. You can bring your true self to work, speak and be heard, and act with absolute conviction.
Our values of care and integrity underpin our behaviours and guide how we all should interact with each other, stakeholders and clients.
We accelerate your development
At M&G we are dedicated to setting you up for success and creating a culture where learning, collaboration, and innovation thrive every day. Through our on-demand digital learning, internal mobility opportunities and all-colleague learning experiences, we're committed to helping you grow, develop and reach your potential within our business. We believe in continued development throughout your career.
Winning Start
Every new joiner will be enrolled on our innovative Winning Start programme. This specially designed programme simplifies and enhances your first 100 days with us, ensuring a smooth onboarding experience so you can ease into your role, build confidence and momentum, and thrive sooner.
People Manager Academy
All People Managers have the opportunity to join our People Manager Academy. This investment in your development will help you understand what great people management looks like at M&G and build the capabilities to excel, connecting with a cohort of peers from across M&G.
Talent Acceleration Programme
We also recognise the importance of a targeted approach, investing in individuals with the potential for senior leadership roles. This programme offers tailored support that accelerates participants’ readiness and develops their leadership capabilities through a range of experiences.
“The best development source has been exposure to very talented people. If you listen and observe, then you can learn a lot.”

We balance well-being with winning
We’ve reflected on traditional approaches to well-being and are taking more holistic, proactive measures to support your physical and mental health. We’ve invested considerable time and resources into how we care for our people. Whether that’s technology that helps you manage your health, or policies that offer better support for families. Our well-being hub provides a wealth of advice and resources, while our on-demand well-being channel ensures you have access to top talks, events, and content anytime, anywhere. Our unique offering includes:
“This is by far the best employer I have ever worked for. The guidance, workplace benefits and holiday entitlement are brilliant.”

Hybrid working
This is a flexible and family-friendly business, which is based on trust and communication. We know you’re able to balance your work and home life, so we’ve invested in the technologies that enable you to collaborate effectively.
We’ve created some market-leading benefits to support you
Our people policies and benefits are contemporary and flexible, empowering managers and leaders to use their discretion to help support the diverse range of interests and circumstances within their teams. Watch the video to take a look at the extensive range of benefits available to our UK colleagues.
We’re passionately diverse and actively inclusive
We take conscious steps to continually improve diversity and inclusion in the workplace, both because it's the right thing to do and because it makes us a better business. We’re committed to ensuring everyone has access to fair opportunities and progression, whatever their background or identity.
We’re proud to have been one of the first companies in our sector to publish an ethnicity target in our senior leadership. Our strategy is for our senior leadership team to be 40% women and 20% ethnic backgrounds by 2025.
We are also proud to be Disability Confident Leader, and actively encourage applications from people who face barriers in the workplace due to a disability, neuro-divergent or long-term health condition
