As doctors do to individual patients, so do internal auditors to the company. Internal Audit helps to maintain the health of the company and makes sure we take necessary steps to prevent events that may hinder achievement of our objectives.
This month I have invited the audit team to introduce themselves. Their team is full of diversity and dynamics. I hope you enjoy this clip.
November is the month of harvest. First off, congratulations to the Commercial team for successfully pursuing the Tianjin Port explosion Insurance Recoveries and gaining the most subrogation fees ever for AXA Tianping. This month, we were also invited to the 16th Annual Finance Summit of Asian hosted by authoritative media and awarded the Insurance Brand of The Year. It recognizes our efforts and encourages us to grow further.
November is the month of responsibility. AXA Climate Academy is launched simultaneously around the world to encourage all staff to pay attention to global sustainable development. Our global Purpose “acting for human progress by protecting what matters” has been integrated into AXA genes, which is also reflected in caring for the people around us. This month, the employee-volunteers from the headquarter visited “Aiyou X AXA Children Playroom” and brought everyone’s love to the children.
November is also a month of gratitude. On November 25th, a thanksgiving event was organized by human resources at Ruiming headquarter in Shanghai for us to express gratitude to each other. Thank you for your tremendous effort and hard work. Our joint effort led us to the result better than our peers, and also let us be full of confidence in the future of Soar to Success.
I would like to share my gratitude notes at the Thanksgiving:
“In this quiet Saturday evening, I make myself calm down and reflect on our common days and months passed together, also thinking of the future we’ll conquer. A lot of emotion comes to me.
Transforming a company relying mainly on motor to non-motors areas, meanwhile adopting new way to replacing traditional motor operation is definitely not an easy job, it’s rather a huge and complicated battle. Our intelligence, decision-making capability and collaborating ability are at challenge. In conclusion, it’s a great test of our leadership and execution capability.
How lucky I am to have you as my teammates. We do debate and joke on each other, but what more are our teamwork, mutual contribution and extra effort, time we put for our common goal. Our joint effort leads us to the result better than our peers.”
Once again, I would like to extend most sincere appreciation to you and wish you a healthy winter and a generous life.

On November 12th, in the afternoon, eight colleagues from Shanghai headquarters landed on [Aiyou x AXA Playroom] that is located in Shanghai Children’s Medical Center to show their love and care for the sick orphans, through three hours of countless stitches and threads, which is three hours of hard work for sewing baby bibs.
“Aiyou x AXA Playroom”has been officially put into operation since July. I am very pleased to learn that those sick orphans from orphanages across the country are able to have a friendly and warm space dedicated to them, apart from the cold clinic in Shanghai Children’s Medical Center.
I have always known that our colleagues’ have big hearts. Your philanthropic enthusiasm has not been affected a bit, even in face of the forced cancellation of onsite volunteering activity due to the prevention and control of the epidemic. Instead, you keep showing your support through other formats, such as the organization of “charity flea markets”. I sincerely am grateful for your continuous enthusiasm and energies, and I am deeply convinced that our love is strong enough to dispel their loneliness, and our accompany can help cure their pain.
It is also my belief that the children that we cure today, will help to heal the world tomorrow. While AXA’s purpose is to ‘Act for Human Progress by Protecting What Matters’, children are what really matter to us. Children are the flames of hope, and as long as these flames remain, our humanity is expected to make continuous progress.
Finally, special thanks to Ting WANG, from Distribution team; Zhenjun DONG and Qiuyan AN, from IT team; Lei CHEN and Shuya LIAO, from big Finance team, and last but not least, Sheen Yang, Zoe ZHENG and Angelika YU, from Marketing & Communications team. I would like to express my most sincere gratitude and thank you for helping change the world using your power.

This month’s dialogue with AXA Asia & Africa features Mark Seifried, the Chief Operations Officer of AXA Asia. He is American and can speak fluent Mandarin. You will see Mark telling his story and answering quickfire questions in Mandarin throughout the video. He also speaks highly of the China team.
On November 25th, Ruiming headquarter celebrated the Thanksgiving Day gathering employees, the management team and special guests. Thanks to Human Resources’ arrangement, the event brings with it an atmosphere of exuberance, delicate food and great company. It’s also a time of speaking out our gratitude to each other. A thank-you wall was also set up to display thank you letters from our colleagues.
Ms. Sally Wan, CEO of Great China opened the session, reinforced China’s role in AXA’s strategy, and delivered her appreciation to all AXA colleagues in driving the company growth. Mr. Howard Pou, Chief Distribution Officer of Great China and Mr. Jonathan Li, Chief Transformation Officer of AXA Tianping also expressed their anticipation to the future cooperation.
It’s a pity that I was not able to join the event in person and could only wrote a letter to say thanks to you all. The AXA Tianping management team also read their thank-you letters at the event.
This is the first year HR launched the Appreciation Campaign through email and Staff WeChat. We can see from the thank-you wall that many of you are actively using it to send gratitude to co-workers. During the event, Sally was also invited to present the awards to recognize those who received and sent the most Thank You Cards.
During the 16th Annual Finance Summit of Asia, I did an interview with the leading finance publication 21st Century Business Herald and talked about AXA’s insights in Chinese family health needs and its solutions to cover both physical and mental health.
