Allianz Beyond is our employee network for disability inclusion and currently has 16 local networks in place.

Allianz Beyond focuses on raising awareness for disability inclusion, identifying ways to make Allianz more accessible (physically and digitally), creating a safe space for employees to disclose their disability and workplace assistance needs to perform at their best, as well as promoting Allianz as an attractive employer for people with disabilities externally.

Axel Bitzer, Co-Lead of the Global Allianz Beyond Board:

"I have been a wheelchair user since my cycling accident in 2020, which resulted in paraplegia. I know first-hand that the multifaceted topic of disability is still dealt with very differently in our working world. I really enjoy working on Beyond and having the opportunity to actively shape it. The network creates awareness and a space for employees to come together. Together, we are making an important contribution to promoting the inclusion and representation of people with disabilities within Allianz."

Dheera Ramakrishnan, Co-Lead of the Global Allianz Beyond Board:

“I am grateful for the opportunities that empower me to contribute to the inclusive culture we aspire to cultivate. Now, with the exciting opportunity to Co-lead Beyond network, I see it as a rich platform to connect with diverse communities and experts. Together we work on topics such as accessibility, workplace adjustments, inclusive guidelines, disability sensitizations and more fostering a genuinely inclusive work environment for everyone.“
