Employees

Our employees are the people who make things happen. To achieve our CSR objectives we need to connect with and involve all our employees. Effective communication of our strategy is essential to this, so we use a range of channels, including our intranet and team briefs, to communicate to employees.

We encourage employees to reduce their environmental impact and fundraise or volunteer for our nominated charities. We also support national and international campaigns, such as the WWF’s Earth Hour, the UN’s World Environment Day and Children in Need to raise awareness. These campaigns and CSR events are promoted around our branch network by our CSR Champions.

Allianz Engagement Survey

In 2010, 73% of our employees completed the Allianz Engagement Survey (Allianz Group average 69%) – an annual survey conducted across the global Allianz Group. 86% of survey respondents said they were “satisfied with the actions our company is taking to be socially responsible”. This is 17 percentage points higher than the Allianz Group average and our second highest score for all categories. This score has increased significantly over the last 6 years.
