Aegis exists to look after the interests of people who work for the AEGON UK group of companies. This includes the interests of full-time and part-time staff - we support everybody employed by AEGON UK.
Unions work on the simple principle that while an employer might be able to ignore the views of a single worker, if all workers speak together with one voice the employer has to take notice.
Unions encourage their members to take part in collective decisions on workplace issues and these views are then put to the employer.
So why would I want to join Aegis?
So how do we help?
- we negotiate your pay and benefits
- we sign off company policies
- we work with the company so staff here get the rewards, the respect, and the recognition they deserve
It’s not only high-level, strategic, visible stuff we deal with. We also look after our members on an individual level.

- performance management
- discrimination
- contracts
- pensions
- redundancy
- absence
- maternity leave
- flexible working
- stress
- equal pay
- lack of development
- gross misconduct
