Sustainability Report 2015
Fostering of diversity
The diversity of our workforce is one of the cornerstones of our commercial success. For it is the case that different attributes such as age, gender, religion or origin help us to reflect within our own company the diverse business environment in which Hannover Re operates. We have therefore made the continued cultivation of diversity a goal of our Sustainability Strategy 2015-2017. Hannover Re has been quick to tackle the challenges of an ageing workforce. In the context of our generation management, for example, we have put in place measures to promote cooperation between new and seasoned members of staff. We also offer our older members of staff courses designed to prepare them for retirement.
In the year under review we again systematically pursued our goals for fostering diversity and we successfully continued the mentoring programme for women. Over the medium term we are seeking in this way to increase the proportion of women in management positions.
