At present, some 6.41% of Maif employees are disabled, and the insurer has committed to hiring at least 40 disabled workers for the period from 2022 to 2024, including 15 on permanent contracts.

Such staff members are also entitled to tailored equipment to improve the accessibility of their workstations as well as a variety of financial grants.
