UNIQA Versicherungen

We promote a work-life balance. A flexible, needs-based range of childcare options provides assistance for working parents. In Austria, UNIQA has joined with KibisCare to provide a comprehensive childcare service. We also offer flexible working time models and enable employees to use teleworking arrangements. In 2015, 21 per cent of administrative employees in Austria made use of part-time working and 11 per cent opted for teleworking. To ensure psychological health among our employees, our burnout prevention programme offers training for managers and employees. The evaluation of psychological stress in the workplace - which is mandatory in Austria - has already been completed for 60 per cent of our employees. It showed that social support, and by extension team spirit, are very important at UNIQA. This promotes unity as well as enhancing vitality and enjoyment of life. The "UNIQA Freiraum" service portal offers employees a range of opportunities related to health, sports, nutrition, recreation and the arts. Additionally, there is a wide range of opportunities available at the UNIQA Sports Club, including running, bowling and squash. Social responsibility also forms a part of our corporate culture. We encourage our employees to give something back to society and to get involved in helping those in need. Since 2013, we have therefore been offering the UNIQA Social Responsibility Day in Austria. Each employee at the corporate head office is given one working day off each year, which they can use to help a charitable institution of their choosing. For those employees who used their social day to help with the refugee crisis, UNIQA increased their allocation to two days in 2015.
