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.
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 Group 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.
With 50 companies in 30 countries, VIG embraces a multi-brand strategy that creates added value in many ways: Diversification spreads regional risks across the entire Group, shares capacities and facilitates the exchange of the wide range of expertise between countries and companies. Our 30.000 employees represent a broad diversity of backgrounds and experiences. And no matter how our 33 million customers prefer to get in touch with us – our multi channel distribution offers them all options.
With our decentralised Group structure, we put local entrepreneurship at the very heart of our business strategy. Knowing the demands and needs of their customers and their market specifics best, our local teams are daily committed to delivering customer-centric solutions. Entrepreneurial thinking applies to all our Group’s entities. We act with foresight and continuously adapt our services to the needs of the dynamic environment.
Responsibility has many faces. As the market leader in CEE, we sensibly take care of the needs of our internal and external stakeholders. With our social focus, we address our customers, employees and the society at large. Our environmental emphasis lies on the business areas Asset management, Underwriting and Operations. Thus, we create economic value today without doing so at the expense of tomorrow.
As the market leader in CEE, we aim to deliver highest quality standards in any service we provide for our customers and business partners. We relentlessly strive for outstanding solutions by leveraging our Group-wide expertise. A commitment that is also reflected in the multiple awards our Group continuously receives.
We are dedicated to our purpose with unwavering passion. Our employees go the extra mile by daily committing their efforts to deliver excellent services.
