Let Your Uniqueness Shine Through!

Every human is different; everyone has a unique life story to share, both personally and professionally.

At Allianz, we welcome the real you. Our inclusive culture lets people of all abilities show off their unique talents. It doesn't matter to us whether you're disabled or not: we always celebrate your uniqueness. By uniting such diverse abilities, we are committed to fostering an environment of creativity and innovation.

Together, let's break disability barriers and make our workplace more inclusive!

Why Disability Inclusion Matters?

Disability can affect people of any age at any stage of their lives, with varying levels of severity. There are around one billion people in the world who live with disabilities, which represents 15% of the world's population. That means one in eight people in the world has a disability. Approximately 80% of disabilities affect people between the ages of 18 and 65, which makes up the workforce age group. Therefore, we continually strive to ensure a diverse and inclusive work environment for everyone, including those with different abilities.

Our Partnership's Focus on Disability Inclusion

Through our fantastic local partnerships, our aim is to widen access to mainstream employment for employees with disabilities, while support and building a more inclusive workplace

Ahead Graduate Programme

Allianz Ireland are proud to hold an established partnership with Ahead (an independent non-profit organisation working to create inclusive environments in education and employment for people with disabilities).

Through the WAM (Willing Able Mentoring) programme, we recruit graduates each year, providing them with an opportunity to gain practical work experience.

The programme has proven to be an overwhelming success for both our graduates and us as an employer. In our third year of partnership, we have increased our commitment to graduate placements by 200%

AsIAm Collaborative Partnership

We are delighted to collaborate with As I Am to learn from and benefit from the value of their brand and experience to our organisational work processes in the recruitment and employment space, contributing to the inclusive culture within our workplace and acknowledgement of our commitment to diversity, inclusion and belonging.

As I Am Is Ireland’s National Autism Charity. They are working to create a society in which every autistic person is empowered to reach their own personal potential and fully participate in society. They believe that by developing the capacity of the autism community and addressing the societal barriers to inclusion we can make Ireland the world’s most autism-friendly country.

Olympic and Paralympic Movement

Allianz got behind the Olympic & Paralympic Movements as the Worldwide Insurance Partner. Sharing the Olympic and Paralympic values, this partnership inspires us to provide confidence in tomorrow - for our customers and our employees. 

Our Efforts towards Disability Inclusion

At Allianz we value an individual's capabilities, not their limitations, and strongly believe that disability drives diversity in the workplace. 

In 2021, people with disabilities represented 4.7% of Allianz employees in our entities in Europe – which employs more than 76% of Allianz‘s global headcount.

We create specific initiatives for people with disabilities and continuously make an effort to raise awareness towards disability inclusion. It's very important to us that everyone feels like they belong in their workplace.
