The Health and Wellbeing of our employees is very important for us at Allianz Ireland. We have designed a comprehensive suite of wellness programmes which run throughout the year. Our focus lies mainly in three areas: exercise, nutrition and mental wellbeing.

The financial industry is a very fast paced environment. Coping with an ever changing workload is a challenge for any individual. We have recently begun holding events and talks from contributors like David Coleman to start the conversation on how the pace of life today can be difficult to keep up with. The programmes are to identify stressors and to learn the appropriate coping mechanisms to restore balance in our lives which benefits us both in our personal and professional lives.

Striking a balance between work and exercising can be tough. Therefore taking care of your physical health is particularly important. At Allianz, we recognise that concentration on your physical health is just as vital as maintaining your mental health. We empower employees to care for their health. Exercise programmes, from boot camps to yoga, were incorporated alongside workshops and seminars on topics such as smoking cessation, switching off technology, and several talks and briefings on nutrition and motivation all through the year.
