Hannover Re employed a Group-wide workforce of 2,568 in the year under review. The number of employees was thus 1.3% higher than in the previous year. This increase derived primarily from new staff taken on in Germany. The relocation of the registered office of International Insurance Company of Hannover SE from the United Kingdom to Germany also contributed to the rise in the number of employees at the Hannover location (3.7%). In addition, our workforce in Asia continued to grow in 2015 by a further 10.1%.
