Athene Holding Ltd

As of December 31, 2024, we had 1,983 employees, including 1,858 located in the US, primarily in West Des Moines, Iowa, and 89 located in Bermuda. We believe our employee relations are good. None of our employees are subject to collective bargaining agreements, nor are we aware of any efforts to implement such agreements.

We are dedicated to fostering a culture that prioritizes teamwork, engagement, inclusivity and pride of ownership. We believe that when employees feel a sense of purpose and belonging, they are more engaged and motivated to contribute to the organization’s success. Our core values—Believe in Your Co-workers, Engage Actively, Act Like Owners, and Make It Happen (BEAM)—form the foundation of our culture. Developed by a team of employees, BEAM reflects our shared beliefs and inspires positive action both within our workplace and in the communities we serve.

Talent

Recruiting, developing and retaining top talent is essential to our success. We value each employee’s unique talents and skills and are committed to fostering their professional growth. By investing in employee development, we enhance our workforce’s value while ensuring our business remains competitive. We closely monitor turnover rates by function and actively implement strategies to retain key talent, including measures to defend against competitive attrition. To maintain a robust pipeline of leaders, we conduct annual succession planning to ensure preparedness for turnover, organizational growth, and promotional opportunities.

Employee satisfaction and engagement are critical metrics for us. We administer an annual engagement survey to gather feedback, which is reviewed by management and shared with employees. The scores and feedback are reviewed by management in addition to being communicated to all employees. We adjust our business practices based on feedback received. High participation rates are encouraged to ensure meaningful feedback.

Our performance-based compensation philosophy rewards employees for their contributions to our success. We strive to provide strong, equitable incentives for performance. Compensation may be comprised of up to three elements: base compensation, which is determined based upon a number of factors, including size, scope and impact of the employee’s role, the market value associated with the employee’s role, leadership skills, length of service and individual performance; an annual incentive award, which if applicable, is a cash incentive award determined based on a combination of individual and company performance during the period to which the incentive award relates; and a long-term incentive award, which if applicable, is a stock-based award intended to compensate an employee for her or his contribution to our success and to align the interest of the award recipient with our interest during the vesting period of the award. We seek to determine compensation on the basis of merit and without regard to demographic characteristics.

Inclusion and Well-being

We are committed to fostering a work environment where everyone can thrive. Our policies are designed to attract a diverse workforce and support ongoing growth and career development.

Merit is our guiding principle for hiring (and promotion). When hiring, we seek a broad pool of candidates and evaluate them through an unbiased process. Ultimately, we select the individual best suited for the circumstances, without predetermined quotas or mandated outcomes.

We also recognize that well-being is essential to our collective success. By promoting a workplace where employees feel valued, supported, and inspired—both professionally and personally—we cultivate a culture in which everyone can excel.
