Benefits
We support new staff with a comprehensive skills program:
- Training on the job
- Reinsurance seminars and training
- Training activities for soft skills
- Language courses, depending on your area of responsibility
- Job-related periods of training abroad, e.g. at insurance companies
We can thus offer you specially tailored career opportunities. In many areas of the company you also have the chance to get involved in short- or long-term project work all around the world.
Flexitime
Our flexitime policy enables every employee to organise his or her working hours according to their actual workload. In times of extraordinarily heavy workload, staff can stay extra hours to meet the demands of their assigned tasks. On the other hand, flexitime offers leeway for the appropriate time management of an individual's private affairs. Every extra working hour is saved in a personal flexitime account that is available to an employee at any time.
Pension Scheme
Company-sponsored pension schemes are increasingly growing in importance. We provide you with a defined contribution pension scheme including additional occupational disability insurance, disability benefits as well as a surviving dependants’ pension. Our pension scheme will help you to build up sufficient retirement benefits. As a matter of course employees can utilise modern financial tools such as direct insurance and deferred compensation.
International
Since it was established as recently as 1966, Hannover Re is not only a rather young reinsurance company, it also has fairly young employees. The average age of our staff is no more than 38. Furthermore, Home Office in Hannover is quite literally home to over 30 different nationalities. If you are looking for an international employer, you need look no further than Hannover Re.
A Variety of Sports
Sport is an important part of a balanced lifestyle - not only does it improve one's health but it is a great way of getting to know new colleagues. Hannover Re offers a variety of activities. For a modest annual fee every employee is entitled to join a spa located close to the company. In addition, you can join the tennis team, play squash or take part in Hannover Re's annual football tournament.
Advancement of women
More than 50 percent of our employees are women. Yet we make no secret of the fact that at our company, as with many other employers, it is often men who fill the higher positions in the hierarchy. This is something we are seeking to change.
In addition to our clear focus on skills and expertise when it comes to promotions, it also goes without saying that we help female employees combine career and family in a variety of ways. These include variable flexitime arrangements, the possibility of individually structuring one's working hours, telecommuting and job-sharing models.
And these are just some of the possibilities…
