"This acknowledgement encourages us to continue with our efforts with our human talent, which now numbers more than 22 thousand people who bring the SURA brand to life every day. In these times of great change, we have valued our capacity to learn, to talk and listen and understand different social and family contexts in order to implement practices that allow us to continue building trust and helping our people to achieve their personal goals, and in so doing strengthen organizational purposes," stated Luz Marina Velásquez, Chief Human Talent Officer for Seguros SURA Colombia.

So far this year, SURA has been able to preserve 100% of its jobs while creating more than 2,000 new jobs, 1,700 of which have helped to reinforce the health care sector in Colombia in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Similarly, the Company has developed other initiatives to care for its employees, these including its line of psychological care, flexible working hours so as to allow employees to spend time with their families as well as internal volunteer work focused on helping our employee’s children with doing their schoolwork from home.
