Aon Affinity

What Aon Affinity does

Aon Affinity is described in firmographics as a London-headquartered entity founded in 1987 that specializes in developing, marketing, and administering customized insurance programs and specialty market solutions. The broader source data also describes Aon plc, a global professional services firm publicly traded on the NYSE under the ticker AON, organized around two pillars: Risk Capital and Human Capital. The Risk Capital pillar covers broking and risk transfer, claims management, reinsurance, risk analytics, risk management, and risk retention, serving businesses and communities navigating interconnected risks across geographies. The Human Capital pillar covers health and benefits, human capital analytics, investments, pensions and retirement, talent and rewards, and workplace wellbeing, addressing workforce strategy, total rewards, and employee resilience for enterprise clients.

The technology foundation rests on proprietary assessment tools (built on a base of 15 million annual assessment participants), predictive analytics in the Wellbeing and Business Performance Dashboard, and Social Determinants of Health Analytics for employer health programs. Products include the Human Sustainability Index and the Wellbeing and Business Performance Dashboard, alongside the broader advisory service portfolio. The firm has colleagues in over 120 countries and operates across 15+ industry verticals including Construction and Real Estate, Financial Institutions, Healthcare, Life Sciences, Insurance, and Technology/Media/Communications.

The business model is professional services revenue: enterprise clients pay for custom advisory engagements across risk and human capital domains, delivered through direct enterprise sales and industry-specialized advisors. Marketing is driven primarily by thought leadership — the Client Trends Report, Human Capital Trends Study (2,300+ business leaders surveyed), Global Risk Management Survey, the Better Being Podcast, and the Aon Insights Series events. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around custom quotes per engagement scope.
