2025: A Year of Empowerment, Innovation, and Change

Published: December 18, 2025

At Allstate, we believe transformation isn't just about technology, it's about people.

As the European Digital Centre of Excellence for one of the world's largest insurers, we've reimagined the future of work, putting people and purpose at the heart of everything we do.

This video is a snapshot of an incredible year. It doesn't capture everything, but it shows what truly matters: curiosity, adaptability, and confidence; the human qualities that make transformation happen.

Highlights from 2025:

Culture Revolution: Moving from hierarchy to "teamship," embedding cross-functional product teams with full lifecycle ownership. Our new digital product model is delivering products faster than ever, improving customer experiences while empowering teams to own outcomes.

Investing in People: £16 million skills investment, ongoing and relentless. Preparing our workforce for the jobs of tomorrow with AI, cloud, cybersecurity, and data engineering training. Technology is the enabler, but people are the differentiator.

Beyond Allstate:Building future skills for the region through initiatives like the Belfast Early Tech Talent Meet-up and the Northwest Digital Hub, inspiring thousands of young people to develop digital skills that will power the future economy.

Recognition That Matters:

🏆 Tony Hsieh Award at TED2025 for reinventing how we work to help team members maximize their potential

🏆 Best Place to Work in IT (Belfast Telegraph IT Awards)

🏆 Named Top AI Innovator by the Evident AI Insurance Index

Innovation That Amplifies People: AI isn't here to replace people — it's here to amplify their potential. We're leading the way in AI adoption, delivering smarter, faster outcomes for millions of customers while keeping empathy and emotional intelligence at the core of our journey.

Giving Back and Having Fun: Our employees volunteered hundreds of hours and raised thousands for local charities like Depaul Ireland, while enjoying moments of connection through Allstate Activate 2025, Fun Days, and Learning Socials. Because culture isn't just about work — it's about community and joy.

As we look to 2026, our ambition is clear: lead not just in technology, but in how we empower people and communities. Allstate is where global ambition meets local innovation, and we're proud to build that future right here in Northern Ireland.
