People and Culture

As part of the new UNIQA 3.0 strategy program, the UNIQA Group has set itself the goal of becoming the most attractive employer in the industry by 2025.

Work and working are currently undergoing massive changes due to new activities and jobs, digital media and home office. At the same time, the demands on employees are changing, as different, new skills are increasingly required, and the spatial working environment is also undergoing significant change. 

Comprehensive measures to become the most attractive employer by 2025

Just as the realities of work have changed massively in recent years due to digitalisation, hybrid work models and new activities and jobs, the demands on employees have also changed. Increasingly, different, sometimes completely new and often digital skills are needed. In order to become the best employer in the industry by 2024, we have implemented changes and improvements in many areas. To this end, five central fields of action have been defined, which we intend to work on intensively over the next few years.

  • Employee Experience: We offer an outstanding employee journey along Group-wide standards.
  • Leadership & Learning: A definition of competencies that makes all employees Inspiring Coaches and corresponding further development, reflection and "feedforward" are at the heart of leadership work.
  • Culture: A strong corporate culture is the foundation for achieving our business goals. Together, we want to shape and strengthen this culture to optimally support the implementation of our strategic programme UNIQA 3.0.
  • Diversity & Inclusion: Diversity and inclusion are core elements of the UNIQA 3.0 strategic programme and contribute to the goal of becoming the most attractive employer.
  • Data & Analytics: As part of strategic personnel development, management dashboards with key performance indicators have been introduced in all countries.

These five pillars are fully integrated to ensure that our employees not only possess the diverse skills needed for their roles and responsibilities but also work in line with our corporate values and goals.

Work-life balance and other benefits for UNIQA employees

Our commitment to improving work-life balance makes a clear contribution to equal opportunity. In our benefits strategy, we also place great emphasis on the personal development and health of our employees. In order to protect and reconcile work commitments with private needs, our employees can take advantage of various initiatives to promote greater flexibility: Flexible working hours and home office options support a balanced lifestyle and allow employees to choose the model that suits them best. We do not differentiate between part-time and full-time employment when granting benefits. We invest in comprehensive training programs and promote professional development. In doing so, we complement state social systems and regularly organise social events. This strategy reflects our commitment to sustainability and the well-being and satisfaction of our employees and is continuously adapted to the needs of our workforce.
