Swiss Re’s personal resilience journey
Over the last two years, the pandemic has changed our lives and had far-reaching consequences for the communities in which we live. It forced us to work from home before being allowed back to the offices on a part-time basis. It put a stop to many social activities and subsequently changed how we socialise with another. The pandemic continues to challenge our daily habits in many ways.
Our Swiss Re vision and culture help us stay connected, support each other, and remain resilient – enabling us to deliver our best for our clients and colleagues while adapting to the “new normal”.
We understand that to make the world more resilient, our people need to be resilient themselves first. Swiss Re is committed to fostering employee engagement. We know that the mental wellbeing of an individual is just as important as their physical wellbeing. We encourage our staff to be open about their health, both physical and mental, and work hard to break down the stigma surrounding mental health issues.
In 2021, Swiss Re CEO Christian Mumenthaler signed the Leadership Pledge for Mental Health, which encompasses six actions that we commit to take to promote better mental health in the workplace.
