Legal & General America

It is the policy of Legal & General America, Inc. and its subsidiaries to employ the best qualified staff in all our facilities and to provide employment opportunities without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation or status as a Vietnam-era or special disabled veteran in accordance with applicable federal laws. In addition, the Company complies with applicable state and local laws governing non-discrimination in employment in every location in which we have facilities. This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including but not limited to, recruitment, placement, promotion, termination, redundancy, transfer, leaves of absence, remuneration, and training.

The Company is committed to eliminating discrimination in all employment activities. It is the responsibility of all managers and staff to share in making equal employment opportunities a reality.

Legal & General America, Inc. and its subsidiaries operate a policy of 'zero tolerance' with respect to employee harassment. Improper interference with an employee's ability to perform his/her expected job duties is not tolerated.

Our employees' performance will determine how well the Company does its job of providing outstanding products and service to our customers, therefore it's important that we invest in their ongoing development. There are many training and educational opportunities available to employees that will allow them to broaden their skills and knowledge.

• The Company provides a variety of self-study education programs to help develop and improve employees' insurance-related professional qualifications. Currently, 25% of employees are enrolled on these courses, with most being registered for at least two courses.
• Employees have access to a tuition reimbursement program designed to encourage and assist in furthering employees' university level education.
• Specialised external seminars and courses are also available to assist employees with professional growth.
