Health and Well-being
We are committed to creating a work environment that prioritises your health and well-being.
At Allianz Ireland, we provide a holistic Wellbeing Programme for our employees, one that covers all life stages and is to the benefit of all employees and their work. We have a monthly calendar of events which incorporate the main pillars of wellbeing including Physical, Mental, Social & Emotional and Financial.
Fundamentally we are aiming to ensure that our people are safe, healthy, engaged at work. We are moving to an evidence-based framework that maps the stages that culminate in a robust workplace wellbeing programme.
Your mental well-being
Becoming more resilient to stress, improving focus, and building powerful mindful habits - explore how our employees can benefit from our global mental well-being initiatives.
Well-being Talks and Webinars
How to energize during the day? What actions can you take to build self-awareness? Talk with health professionals about mental and physical wellbeing, or join our Global Health Community to answer these and many other questions.
Experience our Global Mindfulness Movement
We believe that empathy and compassion are vital skills – helping our employees build trustful, lasting relationships with co-workers and customers. Because we know that creating a diverse and inclusive workplace fosters an empathetic and compassionate corporate culture where employees work and treat each other as humans. Therefore, we have kicked off the Global Mindfulness Movement to learn and promote these competencies.

Your physical well-being and health
Physical well-being does not only mean being physically healthy. It also relates to our energy levels at work. At Allianz, we take action to support the healthy lifestyle of our employees in the office and during remote working.

Our Health & Well-being Events
Headspace – Family and Friends
This year we celebrated our one year partnership with Headspace by extending our membership in addition to all of our employees to five Family Members.
Menopause Friendly Employer
It is Allianz Ireland’s ambition to be certified as a Menopause Friendly Employer through our core pillars of Education, Empathy and Empowerment.
This year in conjunction with the Menopause Hub we trained and introduced five Menopause Champions from around the business.
We launched our Menopause Guidance Policy and Menopause in the Workplace Resources for Managers and Employees which we launched at our Menopause Celebration Coffee Morning. We hope that the introduction of these inclusive, compassionate and sympathetic supports will ensure all colleagues feel supported to forge forward in their careers.
We strongly encourage our people leaders to join us in demonstrating our commitment to destigmatising the Menopause and finding out more how they can support their teams.

Our Volunteering Programmes
Volunteering is at the heart of Allianz plc. We firmly believe in the ethos and value of volunteering and believe that our employee volunteers make a vital contribution to society as a whole. We regard employee volunteers as a valuable resource and encourage them to get involved at all levels and within all appropriate activities.
We have a dedicated Volunteering Policy and Volunteer Leave. We offer one day’s volunteer leave for each employee to encourage them to contribute to and support our chosen charity partner Women’s Aid, one of our chosen charities or a charity of their choosing and close to their hearts.
In 2023 our Volunteer Committee put together a calendar of events to make it easy for employees to avail of the leave.
Let's take a delightful glimpse at the volunteer activities that we enjoyed this year.
