About

Zurich Insurance Group is a leading multi-line insurer serving individuals and businesses globally, known for investing in innovation and people analytics to improve organisational culture and performance.

The Challenge

With millions of survey datapoints across languages, Zurich needed a way to extract insights from unstructured feedback to inform strategy and employee engagement.

The Solution

auticon technologist Felix applied NLP to classify, cluster and analyse large-scale survey responses. He contributed to algorithm design, model development, and trained systems to detect trends and sentiments from 2015 onwards.

The Benefits

Enabled global feedback analysis at scale

Improved predictive modelling for HR trends
Helped Zurich better understand employee sentiment

The Highlights

Deployed NLP across multilingual datasets

Shifted from FMRI data to people analytics
Enabled strategic insights from years of survey data

Social Impact

Reinforced the value of cognitive diversity in complex AI projects and reshaped team perspectives on neurodiversity through close collaboration with an autistic technologist.

“

Working with Felix has been eye-opening… he’s the type of person who solves problems with the best solution, not the easiest one. It’s allowed us to appreciate a different way of thinking.
