A pre-requisite to the achievement of superior performance is an excellent skill-base, especially in an industry where experience and high levels of technical expertise matter.

For this reason a key component of Amlin’s Vision and strategy over the past four years has been to become the “place to work” in the London insurance market.

EMPLOYEE OPINION SURVEY
*
In 2004, Amlin asked MORI to carry out an Employee Opinion Survey to measure the extent to which the Company was meeting this objective. The survey, conducted in May 2004, measured seven main areas; Amlin as an employer, Amlin as a business, working relationships, leadership, communication, change and personal development.

74% of employees participated in the survey, a high proportion in MORI’s experience for a first survey. On most scores Amlin ranked very well against MORI’s benchmark for companies in the financial services sector and on a number of scores was among their top ten companies surveyed. 86% of respondents indicated that they would recommend Amlin as a place to work to a friend, and 76% were either very satisfied or satisfied with Amlin as an employer, compared with a 62% benchmark for the financial services sector generally.

Amlin rates highly in comparison with MORI's benchmarks in both the financial services sector and in relation to the top 10 UK companies surveyed on each question.

Nonetheless, the primary purpose of conducting the survey was to highlight areas where Amlin can further improve its credentials as “the place to work”. Therefore in 2005 Amlin will be working on areas such as; developing a more open culture, improving communication across the Group, sharing best practice and increasing co-operation between business areas, and taking steps to encourage employees to achieve a better work-life balance. We intend to use the 2004 survey as a benchmark and repeat the survey in 2006.
