🤝 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?

I think that it’s great to offer people to slowly move towards retired life instead of having this sudden stop at the end of a career. Well done SwissRe!
Interesting initiative. This can definitely improve the age diversity at Swiss Re.
It ia great to see a firm of Swiss Re's size recognize employees are not machines with an 'off' button that you can press and stop everything suddenly. This initiative will help many (including their families) adjust much better to retirement life
What an innovative D&I approach by SwissRe. It enables more experienced employees to pass on their knowledge and contribute to the company goals, while creating a more flexible work environment as part of transitioning into retirement. A solution I hope other companies will consider as well, especially in response to the skills shortage.
This is awesome! Always loved Swiss Re's initiatives!
Inspiring to see you here Heidi !
😍😍
Love this!
Awesome!

3moLove this. I’ve seen a lot of folks manage something like this informally by cutting back to 80% (4 days/week) and eventually 60% (3 days), but losing out on pension and such makes that more difficult.
