Our commitment to inclusion

LoveLove

A culture that values everyone’s contributions and perspectives

Our goal is to foster a workplace that is fair, caring, and inclusive. We want Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz) to be a place where employees can bring their authentic selves to work every day. The varying strengths, experiences, perspectives, and approaches in our workforce lead to more innovation and a stronger customer focus, greater resilience, and better decisions – which, in turn, deliver strong results for our customers, partners, and shareholders. These principles and values have always guided our business and are fundamental to our success. They ensure we deliver on our purpose: “We secure your future.”

Hear from our president and chief executive officer

Our commitment to inclusion touches all that we do – both within Allianz and in our greater community. Everyone at Allianz is part of this commitment, starting with our leaders.

“Our values of integrity, caring, excellence, and respect make supporting equality in our communities and inclusion in our business a natural extension of who we are at Allianz.”

– Jasmine Jirele, President and Chief Executive Officer, Allianz
