At Allianz, we encourage everyone to stay fit and healthy. And what better way to stay motivated than through an athlete-led workout or mental health session?
Team Allianz
Athletes are at the heart of the Olympic and Paralympic Movements. Their dedication and preparation inspires us to get ready for all life has to offer.
And as a Worldwide Olympic & Paralympic Partner, we’re committed to helping athletes get the most out of life, both during and after their sporting career. We call it Team Allianz. A place where athletes feel empowered to shape a better future.

Athlete Community
We support more than 160 Olympians, Paralympians and hopefuls as brand ambassadors. They come from 32 nations and compete in 53 sports. Pretty cool, right? Oh – and we also work with another 30 athletes each year as employee mentors in our Buddy Program.

Buddy Program
The Buddy Program is an interactive mentoring program where an athlete will be teamed up with a group of Allianz employees. Over the course of the program the athlete takes over the role as a mentor by sharing his or her experience.
The group exchanges their knowledge on self-selected topics like resilience, stress management and mental well-being.
"My group has been fantastic – we’ve engaged in open conversations and shared experiences through topics such as mental health, working under pressure, and teamwork. I would love to do the program again!"
