Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America has received recognition both for its strong commitment to employee development and to the financial literacy of youths in the Minneapolis area.
Employee development
“Allianz Life is committed to the well-being and professional development of our employees; they are the key to our success,” president and CEO Walter White said after the company was named one of the Star Tribune’s “Top 100 Workplaces in Minnesota.”
“Our employee engagement is the driving force behind our position as a leader in the retirement income market. Our recognition programs, on-site child care, fitness center, and educational programs are just a few of the things we do to tell our employees that they make a difference each time they walk in the door.”
Among other things, Allianz Life (www.allianzlife.com) offers employees career-building opportunities, tuition reimbursement, leadership development programs, and access to complimentary retirement planning tools and financial advisors, who help them plan for their own retirement.

A strong focus on training and career development also helped Allianz Life rank 51st on Fortune magazine’s “100 Best Companies to Work For” list early this year.
“Employee and leadership development is a top priority at Allianz Life, so we’re committed to providing an environment where our employees have both personal and professional development opportunities,” Chief Human Resources Officer Suzanne Zeller said at the time.
Community education
In addition to providing training and development opportunities for its employees, Allianz Life offers college scholarships for local students and supports financial literacy programs in its community through monetary donations and volunteering.
“Financial education among young people is lacking, and this gap merits more attention from both business and community leaders,” said White. “Equipping young people with skills and knowledge to make informed financial decisions is essential for their success. If Allianz Life can help young people learn how to make good financial decisions early in their lives, they will be better prepared to understand the value of saving and planning to reach their goals.”
