Create a brighter future together

Our people are the heart of Zurich and together we are committed to delivering on our purpose of creating a brighter future together where our voices are diverse, our behaviours are inclusive, our actions drive equality, and our people feel a sense of belonging.

Diversity and inclusion

We aspire to maximise and celebrate the diversity of our people. Diversity refers to the visible and invisible differences that exist between people. It also refers to diverse ways of thinking and ways of working together. Click here to find out more.

Employee health and wellbeing

Zurich has developed a global holistic Wellbeing Framework that provides our people with the tools and resources needed to stay healthy and empowered. Supporting the health and wellbeing of our employees is paramount.

Tackle Your Feelings

Tackle Your Feelings is designed to empower people to take responsibility for their mental health and wellbeing. Zurich employees have engaged with the campaign by participating in webinars and events. There is a mobile app and other useful guides to help employees look after their wellbeing on a day-to-day basis.
