In the financial year just ended we also continued to engage with the findings of the first international employee survey conducted within the Hannover Re Group. Once all the units had received their results, they were tasked with developing individual measures to leverage identified potentials and safeguard existing strengths. Activities here centred around communication and information, further training and delegation as well as the fostering of (international) cooperation. All in all, our assessment of the first international employee survey is positive, both in terms of the pleasing survey findings and the quality of the measures that have been initiated.
