HR Strategy
Employee motivation and commitment are important for the long-term success of a company. The Group therefore aims to be an “employer of choice”. To achieve this, it is important to deal fairly and justly with all employees, enable employees to follow their ideal development paths, and provide a good life balance and options for health promotion. The Group also intentionally relies on employee diversity and feels that it both enriches the Group and is an important factor in its success. Different experiences, backgrounds, needs and expectations are not just permitted. They are valued and actively used. This increases creativity and innovation, as well as motivation and commitment.
The employee priorities include creating a working environment with leadership and well-grounded development opportunities that attracts the right employees and motivates and retains them.

CEO Hartwig Löger and Barbara Hohl, Head of Human Resources, in conversation:
In our HR work, we have to act strategically on the one hand in order not only to respond to the challenges of the labor market, but also to use them as an opportunity. On the other hand, in practice we focus on 'employee centricity' in order to motivate, develop and retain employees.
Our values
Our Company values provide orientation and serve as a basis for decision-making. Ever since its origins, the company has been profitably managed on the basis of ethical values, now deeply rooted in the Vienna Insurance Group.
Thanks to our presence in 30 markets, primarily in Central and Eastern Europe, we have an in-depth understanding of local circumstances. Sharing knowledge, ideas and experience within the Group is part of day-to-day operations. Diversity is one of our success factors and core values. In a way, it is part of VIG’s DNA.
We have strong roots, both internationally and locally. Thanks to our local employees, we are more than familiar with the typical needs of customers in our different countries and markets. This allows us to offer tailored solutions and maximise customer satisfaction in all of our markets.
We draw on years of experience to safeguard our customers’ futures as effectively as possible. A sense of responsibility and respect are always central to our relationships with our customers, business partners, shareholders and society as a whole.
