Innovative Support for Employee Well-being
Allianz Turkey is at the forefront of enhancing employee well-being with over a century of expertise in the insurance sector. The company prioritizes its workforce’s health, happiness, and engagement through unique initiatives. With the mantra “Here is Allianz, Life is Different Here”, Allianz Turkey is setting new industry standards by implementing a work model tailored to diverse employee personas to meet their specific needs.
Comprehensive Benefits and Support for Parents
Committed to ensuring the health and security of its team, Allianz Turkey offers essential benefits like Group Health Insurance, Group Life Insurance, Group Pension Plan, and Long-Term Equity Investment Options. Recognizing the importance of balancing work and personal life, the company provides innovative leave options, including Bridge Leave, Birthday Leave, a one-week Allianz Block Vacation, and Allianz Mental Health Leave. Facilities such as lactation rooms and free psychological support are available to assist female employees and enhance their working conditions. Parent employees receive special leave allowances, including a half-day administrative leave on their child’s first school day and report card day.
Extended Paternity Leave and Flexible Work Options
Allianz Turkey goes beyond legal requirements by granting male employees paternity leave of up to 30 calendar days, exceeding the standard five-day leave. Employees enjoy flexible working conditions, choosing between remote work, hybrid models, or fully remote options during July and August through the “Flexible Summer” initiative. To support ergonomic needs, Allianz Turkey provides necessary materials for employees working from home. The Allianz Turkey Academy (ATA) offers the FamiLearn family development program to help parent employees manage work and family life effectively through specialized training and activities.
Supporting Women’s Return to Work
Allianz Turkey actively promotes women’s employment through initiatives like the AllWonders project, which assists women who have paused their careers for over a year in re-entering the workforce. This project aids in their transition back to work and ensures the sector benefits from a skilled labor force.
High Return-to-Work Rates Post Parental Leave
Ilkay Özel, Executive Board Member and Deputy General Manager of People and Culture at Allianz Turkey, emphasizes the company’s commitment to its employees: “Our employees are our most valuable asset. At Allianz Turkey, we prioritize their health, well-being, and happiness. We implement comprehensive, inclusive, and innovative programs to continually enhance employee loyalty, satisfaction, and welfare. Our initiatives, particularly those supporting the work-life balance of parent employees, are based on employee feedback and strengthen our bond. In 2024, 82 out of 86 employees who took parental leave returned, achieving a remarkable 95% return-to-work rate.”
