Hannover Re's Role as an employer

As a big employer in Hannover Region, Hannover Re provides an attractive general framework to its employees enabling them to achieve a balance between their work and personal lives. For that reason, Hannover Re now ranks among one of Germany’s best employers: it offers attractive jobs to ambitious and performance-minded employees, while constantly nurturing employees’ skills and motivation as well as entrepreneurial thinking at all levels. 

Employee Responsibilities: 

  • Code of Conduct

By establishing company-wide guidelines such as the code of conduct, Hannover Re has drafted standards for its employees which are valid all over the world. They are intended to support employees in successfully coping with the often complex ethical and legal challenges of their day-to-day activities. Every employee commits him/herself to honest and fair as well as legal behaviour towards colleagues and clients. These guidelines are regularly updated in order to adapt them to the changing sociopolitical requirements.

  • Work/Life Balance Principle:

Work/life balance criteria are also put into practise at Hannover Re, not least because of offering variable work arrangements. These include part time, telecommuting and flexitime which allow for a flexible work schedule. In so doing, the foundations have been laid for employees to harmonise work and personal lives on their own authority. The company also demonstrates its family friendliness by way of supporting parents in finding childcare and offering job sharing opportunities. In addition to this, Hannover Re actively promotes health whereby company sports are just as important as our mobile massage services and flu shot vaccinations, for example.
