Our HR Vision

Our HR vision is to ensure our employees find meaning in their work and have a deep sense of purpose. We also aim to provide an attractive, flexible and inclusive work environment. Drawing on the expertise and experience of our diverse employees, we constantly look for new ways to improve engagement among our people and prepare for the changing needs of the future. We collaborate in the spirit of “partnering for success”, as we believe doing so will help us realise our full potential. We are passionate about building an environment of trust, respect and accountability - an environment in which the way we work is every bit as important as the results we achieve.

At Swiss Re, we want to ensure that all members of our diverse global workforce feel heard, respected and included, regardless of their background, gender, age, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, or other categorisation. We leverage our diversity to understand our clients and markets, develop smarter solutions together and help communities to rebuild, renew and move forward. In this way, we are working towards our vision to make the world more resilient.
