Our staff
Hannover Re strives to be an attractive employer for ambitious, performance-minded individuals who identify with the company's goals. With this in mind we offer a flexible, receptive working environment as well as latitude for self-reliant decision-making. Our human resources staff, systems and structures put in place the framework needed for the further professional development of our workforce. Three areas constituted the cornerstones of our personnel activities in the year under review: the fostering of an entrepreneurial mindset on all levels, the recruitment of highly qualified people and the promotion of a healthy work/life balance for our staff.
