Employee Benefits, Cairo

AKQA is committed to developing wellbeing and supporting life choices for our team.

We provide an extensive range of benefits. The healthier our lifestyles, the better resilience and longevity we are likely to have. We believe in providing resources that will alleviate distractions allowing employees to do their best work.

Health and wellbeing

To keep you active and healthy both physically and mentally.

Private healthcare

We offer health cover, which gives prompt access to specialist medical treatment. Everyone can enjoy the same comprehensive cover, regardless of previous medical history. Family members can be included in the scheme (at an additional cost).

Mental health

Becoming overwhelmed by stress can lead to mental health problems or make existing problems worse. AKQA has a number of places for employees to reach out to for support and advice.

Learning and development

To help you grow and develop in your role, and to reach your full potential.

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)

A range of ERGs or groups across our network can be joined to unite employees around a shared identity or interest. We know connecting with colleagues is important, whether in person or virtually, so we host regular events, breakfasts and more to bring our teams together.

Prioritising you is essential to your wellbeing, particularly during the ongoing challenges in the world. Self-care strategies allow you to take charge of your mental and physical health. In addition to organised opportunities through sport, yoga and meditation, we’ve compiled a wide range of self-care resources for families and individuals, combined with continuous positive lifestyle encouragement and support for our employees.
