Diversity

Our commitment

We at Allianz believe that it is important to have a diverse and inclusive workforce. Employing people from different backgrounds and making them feel included is, in our view, a major driving force behind the success of our global company.

Allianz carries out measures to promote inclusion and has a zero-tolerance policy towards discrimination and harassment. This is measured annually in our employee engagement survey.

Allianz SE’s Global Diversity Council ensures the implementation of a diversity strategy in all Allianz entities to meet Allianz’s commitment to inclusion. The council is chaired by Niran Peiris, Allianz SE board member and also the sponsor of issues relating to Diversity and Inclusion. The council has been in place since 2007.

The Global diversity Council monitors Diversity and Inclusion plans and how these are implemented by various Allianz companies. The Group Head of Diversity helps to coordinate the various programs and sees to it that they are in line with Allianz goals.

Diversity learning

Diversity Day

At Allianz Life US employees choose a day that they find relevant, which is then paid for, allowing them to celebrate diversity in their own special way.

Diversity Day at Allianz Italy was launched this year and almost 400 employees have participated in one day events at different locations, giving presentations on business rationale, diversity concepts and tools and addressing employees’ diverse inclusion needs.

Diversity programs such as eLearning and diversity awareness workshops are integrated in ongoing learning and development programs.

Internal Learning Tools

The Global Diversity office at Allianz SE provides an open portal for information that enables employees to learn how to benefit from diversity within Allianz. Various diversity managers at different organizational entities also help design tailor made programs for their local companies, which enable employees to learn more about diversity and use it as a tool for their professional development.
