‘Our strength is our people’
AXA Philippines, one of the leading insurance companies in the country, recently inaugurated its newest state-of-the-art training facility — the AXA Academy.
Located at the 11th floor of the Bank of Makati Building on Ayala Avenue Extension in Makati City, the AXA Academy serves as the main training facility for AXA agents, driven by the company’s aim to elevate the skills and capabilities of local insurance professionals to an unmatched level of excellence.
Leading the inauguration rites, together with AXA chairman Solomon Cua, was Insurance Commissioner
Dennis Funa, the event’s guest of honor. Funa noted that the AXA Academy will help improve education of insurance professionals who are engaged in a noble vocation to spread financial literacy, in order to help Filipinos achieve their financial goals.
Following the dedication ceremony, AXA Philippines CEO Rahul Hora said, “Our strength is our people, as insurance is a people business. Whether distributors or employees, the most important thing is the foundation on which their capabilities are built.”
Hora added that the AXA Academy is “a symbol of our commitment, a symbol of what our people mean to us as an organization — how we’re extremely passionate in building the competencies of our employees.”
The training facility’s design and layout is purposely meant to be flexible and technology driven, providing a comfortable, aesthetically pleasing environment for learning or socials. At almost 1,000 sq. m., the training facility, with six training rooms of varying sizes plus two meeting rooms, can handle up to eight ongoing running sessions with a maximum capacity of over 300 participants in total. Other facilities include a reception and focus area, a trainer area, a pantry and a hallway lounge.
