Employee Profile & Diversity Mental Health & Well-being AllianzU Employee Engagement Appendix People Attraction & TM 34 Allianz SE People Fact Book 2021 Overview Reward & Performance, GM Outlook 2022 Key facts In focus Our commitment to achieve Equal Pay by the end of 2021 was another milestone towards reaching gender equality. In 2022 we will continue implementing practices to ensure sustained success and embed Equal Pay in the HR value chain. Another key focus area for this year is the further implementation of our Global Benefits Strategy, which aims at ensuring global minimum standards and to a certain extend harmonizing benefits to increase efficiency and boost employee experience. Finally, with regards to fostering cross-border remote work as part of our new Ways of Working, the cross- border remote assessment tool will be rolled out to all interested OEs globally. This will not only ensure full compliance, but more importantly, create a positive impact on employee experience and further strengthen Allianz’ employer value proposition. • In 2021, Allianz colleagues around the globe received a record number of more than 676,000 Allianz shares via the Employee Share Purchase Program (ESPP). • As part of our commitment to Gender Equality, in 2021 we embarked on the EDGE certification process with 68 entities covering almost 80% of our global headcount. EDGE is a globally recognized assessment method and certification standard which was launched at the Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in 2011 to assess the level of gender equality in companies and provide recommendations on how to improve. Having achieved global EDGE Assess Certification for our Insurance Business segment and for the global business lines Allianz Partners, Euler Hermes, Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty SE, Allianz Technology and Allianz Services, is proof of our strong focus on equal opportunities for all our employees. • In 2021, we launched our brand-new assignee platform called GoGlobal, which was designed jointly with our partners (EY and ICUnet) and ensures a seamless experience along the entire assignment journey. GoGlobal provides assignees with all relevant information on activities, documents, contact details, full transparency on all ongoing, planned and completed processes and even recommended places for their assignment – simply everything employees must know about their assignment in one place. The platform is truly state-of-the- art in terms of usability and user experience and the feedback from assignees has been overwhelmingly positive. As the world around us becomes increasingly more global, many of us have friends and family scattered across various parts of the world. For an increasing number of people, the freedom to simultaneously work remotely from other countries and spend quality time with family, visit friends, or simply catch some winter sunshine – is a valuable benefit of modern working life. After listening to our employees, Allianz has embraced this kind of flexibility and implemented the Allianz Global Guidance for Cross-Border Remote Work, which sets the framework to work remotely, outside the country of employment. Depending on the implementation in different OEs, employees are now eligible to work up to 25 days per year from outside their country of employment, as long as the request is within the Guideline and has been approved beforehand. This is due to various legal and tax restrictions and therefore each request must be properly assessed. However, this process is fairly simple. Instead of engaging in a multi-step, time-intensive process, employees can determine their eligibility within a matter of a few minutes through a smart and easy-to- use self-assessment tool that instantly analyzes their key inputs ensuring a compliant approval amidst millions of possibilities. The Cross-Border Remote Work Assessment Tool was developed inhouse by Global Mobility, Group Tax and Allianz Technology and has received a lot of positive recognition, both internally as well as externally. So far, the tool has been rolled out in Allianz SE, Allianz Reinsurance, Allianz Technology, AGCS, and Allianz Germany. Many more OEs are interested to onboard the tool in the upcoming year. This approach towards cross- border remote work shows the willingness of Allianz to offer a high degree of flexibility to employees, setting it apart from many other companies in the market.
