At Zurich, all employees receive a minimum of four weeks of vacation per year to do just that. • We also understand that employees require time off for personal reasons. Maybe you have an appointment during a workday, a cultural or religious holiday you would like to observe, or you need time off to focus on your mental health. Zurich employees receive four personal days per year to be used at their discretion. • We are committed to continuous improvement and offer access to a comprehensive range of training and development opportunities. • We care about our communities. Our communities are where our customers, people, and shareholders live and work. While we can be proud of the contribution to society Zurich makes through our core business of insurance, we must also give back to our communities through our talent, time and resources. • We have won numerous awards for our workplace culture.
