Allstate Northern Ireland Diversity

A significant factor in the success of Allstate NI's unprecedented growth in Northern Ireland has been the company's ability to attract, retain and develop a diverse workforce. The definition of diversity is not restricted to representation of migrant workers, but extends to include a high representation of females in a male dominated industry, a high representation of disabled employees and a diverse age range which includes employees over the normal age of retirement.

Allstate NI's Diversity and Equality Programme has successfully integrated diversity into the organisational culture. It is not a singular programme but an ongoing, integrated corporate initiative that enhances the company's ability to attract, motivate and retain a diverse pool of high performing employees necessary for a successful business.

Migrant Workers

Allstate NI has developed a comprehensive programme to support the integration of migrant workers and their families into the company and into Northern Ireland society. Allstate NI's initial welcome pack for newly recruited migrant workers includes flight assistance, airport pick up, Allstate NI meet & greet, sourced rental accommodation with 1 month's free rent provision, assistance with setting up a local bank account and a 1 day accompanied tour of Belfast providing directions to the office, local shops and amenities, emergency services etc. All of this is reinforced by the 'Allstate NI Welcome to Northern Ireland' booklet, which reiterates much of this information and provides local maps, details of restaurants, reliable taxi firm numbers etc. English Language classes are also available for employees who would like to improve their English.
