At Bupa, we believe that the best care for our customers starts with the best opportunities for our people. That’s why we’ve created Connected Careers—a people-first approach to career development that empowers our people to grow, explore, and thrive across our global business. Hear directly from Chris, our Head of Organisation Development, as he explains more:
Connected Careers is our commitment to aligning the ambitions of our people with the needs of our customers. It’s about creating meaningful connections across our diverse business units and markets, enabling our people to gain broad exposure, develop new skills, and deliver even better outcomes for those we care for.
By encouraging cross-functional collaboration and mobility across our business provisions, we help our people understand the full breadth of our business—so they can shape careers that are as dynamic and connected as the world we serve.
You’re in the driver’s seat
At Bupa, your career is yours to shape. Want to switch departments? Explore a new business area? Move to another country? We’re here to support your journey.
We know careers aren’t always a straight line—and that’s something we celebrate. We’ve built a culture that encourages curiosity, supports ambition, and champions growth in all its forms.
You’ll have access to the tools, support, and freedom to grow in the direction that’s right for you. Because at the end of the day, the best guide for your career journey is you.
Support to grow and upskill
We believe in learning through experience. That’s why we offer a mix of hands-on opportunities, mentoring, and formal training to help you build your skills and confidence.
We have a wide range of initiatives in place to support our people’s growth and development. For example, we’ve recently launched our annual Bupa Match Mentoring Programme, which is open to everyone across the business. It’s designed to connect colleagues from different teams and backgrounds, fostering meaningful relationships and knowledge sharing.
Through initiatives like this, we empower our people to take ownership of their career development. Whether you're looking to deepen your expertise or try something completely new, we're here to help you grow your way.
Feedback so far
Our people are excited about the freedom and flexibility Connected Careers brings. Many have already made bold moves—across teams and departments—and their stories are inspiring others to do the same.
Even those who stay in their current roles benefit from the fresh perspectives and stronger networks that come with a more connected culture.
We’re just getting started. From introducing our international assignment and mentoring programmes to launching monthly Connected Careers Live events and extending our international study tours, we’re continuing to build momentum. Our goal is to make internal and global mobility a seamless part of life at Bupa.
