Diversity & Inclusion

With 18.2 million customers and more than 15.800 employees, our UNIQA community thrives on diversity 

Regardless of gender, age, origin, physical ability, sexual orientation, religion, world view or other differences, we value and respect each other. We are committed to the power of diversity and give no room to intolerance and exclusion. Therefore, at the UNIQA Group we focus on structured support measures for justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in our community and put people at the centre of all our efforts. This approach makes the UNIQA Group a place for personal growth, development and meaningful engagement. With us, everyone finds the right place to develop their full potential for the benefit of our customers, colleagues and the company. Living better together - for us, this credo is only credibly fulfilled when every gender, every nationality, every majority or minority in the UNIQA community has equal rights and the same opportunities.

Justice, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (JEDI)

We rely on mutual trust and see each other not only in our professional roles but also as people in all their diversity. Our commitment to diversity is an expression of our humanity.

Our Group JEDI Strategy forms the foundation and framework for all our activities, is an integral part of our future program UNIQA 3.0, and is clearly aligned with our values, the Guiding Principles

It is part of a Group Human Resources Policy and is based on the 10 principles of the UN Global Compact. It is based on local laws and the Disability Employment Act (BEinstG). The JEDI Strategy promotes an environment free from discrimination, bullying and (sexual) harassment and also ensures gender equality and equal pay for work of equal value as well as equal employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

These ambitions are supported by the seven overarching goals of our JEDI Strategy: 

In accordance with the policy, managers and employees are obliged to recognise and report unacceptable behaviour. A standardised process for handling cases of discrimination, including an annual, anonymised report on such cases, is mandatory.

Labour & Human Rights

At UNIQA, a safe and discrimination-free working environment is our top priority. Clear guidelines are set out in the group-wide UNIQA Code of Conduct, and clear objectives are defined in the UNIQA JEDI Strategy.

Reports of breaches can be submitted via our whistleblowing platform, either anonymously or by providing personal details.

For UNIQA employees in Austria, there is a mandatory e-learning course on equal treatment.

Diversity & Equal Opportunities 

UNIQA promotes equal opportunities through targeted training initiatives, structured talent management and forward-looking succession planning. In addition, a mentoring and reverse mentoring programme – which has been in place in Austria and the SEE countries since 2021 and will be rolled out across all UNIQA countries from 2025 – supports personal and professional development. Flexible working models such as job-sharing and part-time management roles enable individual career paths. In addition, a salary simulation tool helps to analyse pay adjustments transparently and specifically reduce the gender pay gap.

Inclusion - People with disabilities

Successful partnerships with local organisations are facilitating access to the labour market and driving forward the promotion of inclusive working environments in Austria, Poland and the Czech Republic.

In Austria, a baseline assessment of inclusion was carried out using the ‘Key Inclusion Assessment’, a disability liaison officer was appointed, and the publication of job vacancies on specialist platforms was established. In addition, targeted awareness-raising measures are being implemented and continuous improvements to accessibility are being driven forward to create an inclusive and accessible working environment.
