A career built on opportunity, recognition, and support

Daniel Liggins, a team leader at Allianz, has had an incredible career journey over the last eight years in the Bournemouth office. Recently, he was promoted to a new role as a compliance officer, marking an exciting step forward in his career. But, as he reflects on his time in the company, it’s clear that Allianz offers much more than just career progression – it offers a place where opportunities are endless, and support is always at hand.

Opportunities at Allianz

Dan elaborates, “My experience at Allianz highlights one of the company’s greatest strengths: providing vast opportunities for personal and professional growth.”  The company’s commitment to internal mobility means employees have access to a variety of roles through initiatives like secondments. Whether stepping in to cover for maternity leave or exploring different areas within the business, secondments allow staff to broaden their experience without the commitment of a permanent move.

In addition, Allianz provides 22.5 hours per year for personal development, which employees can use at their discretion to enhance their skills. Dan continues, “For me, this flexible development time has been an essential tool in growing both as a leader and as an individual within the company.”

Memorable moments and career recognition

“One of my most memorable moments at Allianz was winning the Employee of the Year award at the 2023 Star Awards. It was a moment that meant a lot to me, especially considering the personal challenges I had faced in recent years. After the loss of my mother, I went through a difficult period but received support from my manager and the company to help me get back to work."

This recognition wasn’t just about performance. It was about the company’s support and commitment to its people. Allianz’s recognition culture, with events like the Star Awards, makes it clear that hard work and dedication are celebrated, creating an environment where employees feel valued and appreciated.

A culture that encourages growth and innovation

“For me, the key to success at Allianz is the opportunity to add value to the business and contribute to its growth – it was this thinking that encouraged me to take on the Team Leader role. Having worked within the tech team for three years, I saw the potential to improve processes and step into a leadership role to drive change. The ability to see tangible results and influence the way things work is something that excites me.”

Allianz encourages employees to step outside their comfort zones, take risks, and learn from their mistakes. This supportive environment fosters creativity and innovation, empowering employees to grow personally and professionally.
