Work/life balance
Demographic changes are leading to a shortage of managers and junior executives. Hannover Re, just like its competitors, must position itself in this battle for managerial recruits. Our offer to qualified young applicants therefore encompasses not only attractive compensation and above-average development opportunities, but also the possibility to strike a healthy balance in their professional and private lives. After all, the range of possible living and working models has multiplied in comparison with the traditional allocation of roles. We seek to enable our staff to combine their individual life plans with their work for our company.
In addition to further steps aimed at simplifying the harmonisation of family life and career, Hannover Re is therefore funding the building of a new daycare centre on its premises at Hannover Home Office, which wascommissioned in December 2008. The nursery is supported by the parents' initiative "Hannover ReKids", a society founded by Hannover Re staff; more information on our daycare facility is provided in the Sustainability Report:
