Annual rankings from Training Magazine highlight Training Programs at Allianz Life and Fireman’s Fund

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Allianz was recognized by Training Magazine as a 2015 Training Top 125 Winner for its excellence in employer-sponsored training and development programs supporting Allianz Life Insurance Company of North America (Allianz Life®) and Fireman’s Fund®. Ranking 92nd on the list, Allianz was selected for its learning initiatives and programs and tools available through its Online Learning Center.

Allianz Life makes employee and leadership development a company priority. For example, Allianz Days is an employee-focused learning initiative that is facilitated semi-annually with an emphasis on topics selected from employee survey and focus group results along with topics aligned to business priorities. This learning initiative has been recognized as a best practice in the Allianz Group and has been implemented in other global Allianz organizations.

"Receiving this award for the second year in a row shows the strong company focus and commitment to employee and leadership development,” said Denise Brinker, vice president of Learning and Development at Allianz Life. "We could not have achieved this without the tremendous support from partners and subject matters experts across the business who contribute significantly to our learning programs."

How Award Recipients are Selected

The Top 125 ranking is determined by assessing a range of qualitative and quantitative factors, including financial investment in employee development, the scope of development programs, and how closely such development efforts are linked to business goals and objectives.

Companies that wish to be considered for Top 125 ranking complete a detailed application, which is scored both quantitatively (70 percent of total score) by an outside research and statistical data company and qualitatively (30 percent of total score) by Training magazine editors and Top 10 Hall of Fame representatives.

The 2014 award was presented to Allianz of America, which is the organization that managed the training for both Allianz Life and Fireman’s Fund.
