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.

Buddy Program
In our yearly Buddy Program, we give employees the opportunity to be mentored by an athlete and athletes the opportunity to prepare for life after competition.
