Our Culture & behavioral principles

The world around us is changing rapidly and financial services along with it. The Renewal Agenda makes sure we keep building on our strong foundations and reinforce our leading position by focusing our efforts in five fields of action: True Customer Centricity, Digital by Default, Technical Excellence, Growth Engines and Inclusive Meritocracy.

Inclusive Meritocracy is our target culture

We believe, our culture has to evolve towards a more agile, customer-oriented and collaborative mindset. Inclusive Meritocracy at Allianz can be described by three principles.

People and Performance matter

By living the People Attributes we shape THE HOME FOR THOSE WHO DARE

We recruit, develop, promote and reward those who live the People Attributes. With leadership trainings, a feedback culture and career mobility programs we foster open communication, collaboration across borders and diversity of minds.

Our ambition as employer is to become the HOME for those who DARE.

HOME

is the solid foundation we can build on - a friendly and caring work environment. By demonstrating Collaborative Leadership and Trust, we create a real HOME.

DARING

is the key to the challenges we all face every day. Digitalization and fundamental changes in customer expectations or demography disrupt the insurance industry and make us rethink our business. Striving for Customer & Market Excellence and Entrepreneurship we create a culture that encourages our employees to DARE.
