01 Introduction and strategy 02 Measuring and managing sustainability 03 Climate change related disclosure 04 Strengthening our foundation 05 Our universal principles 02.4 Human resources Tackling work-related stress Allianz is a signatory of the pan-European agreement on guidelines concerning work-related stress. We have placed great emphasis on addressing the root causes of work-related stress by offering effective solutions. Continuing to monitor COVID-19 We continue to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on our employees globally. The pandemic cast a spotlight on the importance of health and mental well-being, and we introduced various measures to support employees and meet our business needs during the crisis. In 2022, as the vaccine was widely available, Allianz offered access to booster shots via the company doctors in some countries. You can find more details on the mental health podcast in our People Fact Book 2022. Our new health and well-being initiatives in 2022 We also engaged our employees by offering multiple health and well-being activities launched in 2022, for instance: • Our Allianz Health Talks series – a monthly webinar series to inform our employees about different health and well-being topics, such as how stress impacts business performance and how to deal with crises. • The meeting etiquette rule to shorten meeting times by five minutes in order to ensure short breaks in between meetings. Looking ahead One of our top priorities for health and well-being in 2023 will be to drive the implementation of Mental Health First Aiders (MHFA) training globally. MHFA is a peer-to-peer support training that has been shown to increase knowledge, confidence and helping behaviors, reduce stigma around mental health, and drive employee engagement. This training supports early identification of people not being well through MHFA peer-to-peer support. By the end of 2022, eight operating entities have offered MHFA training either as standard course or initiated pilot trainings. The ambition is to increase the number of operating entities who offer MHFA-training. See also our People Fact Book 2022. Allianz Group Sustainability Report 2022 74
