Culture
At QBE, our people are courageous, highly skilled experts in their field, who excel at working collaboratively. It’s important to us that we create a place where everyone feels they belong.
Our QBE DNA
We are continually focused on building a workplace culture that supports our people and represents our business and the world around us. An integral part of this work is to foster an environment where everyone feels safe to speak up, where we are inclusive of diversity in every aspect, and where there is a balanced emphasis not just on what we do but also how we go about doing it.
Everything we do is underpinned by our DNA – because it's not just what we do that matters, it's how we do it that makes the difference.
Our QBE DNA interlinks seven cultural attributes that are fundamental to who we are and how we need to operate to achieve success now and into the future. Importantly, each of our seven attributes are interwoven and relate to each other. By living our DNA, each of us helps to drive QBE's culture forward.
- Inclusive - We treat each other with respect and fairness, and value diverse perspectives
- Team - We support each other and collaborate widely to achieve common goals, knowing we are stronger together
- Accountable - We take ownership and follow through to deliver, managing risks and learning from mistakes
- Customer-focused - We proactively listen with empathy to guide how we meet customer needs and have an impact
- Courageous - We act with integrity and challenge the status quo, feeling safe to speak up and experiment with new ideas
- Fast paced - We move with pace, adapting with our process and future in mind
- Technical experts - We build and share our expertise, striving for excellence and knowing when to ask for guidance.
At QBE, when we show-up for our people, customers, communities or shareholders across the globe we are customer-focused, technical experts, fast-paced, inclusive, courageous, accountable and a team.
Inclusion of Diversity
