Our colleagues in Munich teamed up with the Munich Nature Conservation Association to prepare a new park in Pasing, which will offer a public green space and a nursery for wild plants 🌿🍃 Together, they removed grass, collected seeds, transplanted plants, created flower beds, built fences, and prepared a sandbox for wild bees, while also learning about the history of the Pasing Monastery Garden, the specific plant species, and the work of the Bund Naturschutz. At the end of the day, our colleagues could even take home some young plants to promote biodiversity in their own gardens – spreading the green spirit to their own neighborhoods. #LifeAtSwissRe

🤝 At Swiss Re, we aim to cultivate a workforce that truly represents the age diversity and the generational wisdom of our global community. By leveraging the unique perspectives and experiences of different generations, we're determined to drive innovation and performance. ⏩ This is why we've introduced Flex+, which offers a voluntary, gradual approach towards retirement for employees between 58 and 65 years. It allows employees the opportunity to reduce their responsibilities and/or working hours, with a corresponding salary adjustment but with continued full employer contribution to their pension fund based on previous employment level. This flexible transition to retirement ensures the preservation of valuable institutional knowledge, while also meeting the changing needs and expectations of employees nearing retirement. Meet Heidi Gerber, our Senior Business Analyst, who talks about the advantages this flexible transition is offering her. Want to learn more about our diversity, equality, and inclusion #DEI efforts?
