Message by the CE & President

Dear Team Members,

On behalf of the Management, I would like to congratulate all employees of Askari General Insurance Co. Ltd on its 16th

Anniversary. At every step, we have remained vigilant and focused. I believe that in order to be distinctive in the industry,

it is imperative to be creative, with out of the box thinking and to offer level

playing field to all and for that purpose, I expect that we keep working as

a team. Implementation of robust and fool-proof systems acts as an ena-

bling factor to ensure sustainable growth henceforth our focus in the year

2011 through 2012 persisted on refining these systems which in turn

brought efficiency to our operations.

The year 2011 has been an assortment of successes and challenges for

the entire organization. AGICO achieved a milestone by receiving IFS rat-

ing of “A” by both the rating companies operating in Pakistan. The instal-

lation of the tracker system considerably benefited in terms of reducing

theft of vehicles. Our main focus for the year 2012 is precisely based on

development of innovative products that will help our company to explore

new avenues in insurance and also on the retention of existing customer

base by providing them above par services. By the grace of Almighty Allah and cumulative efforts of our team of employ-

ees, we have achieved relatively higher profitability in all segments of the insurance business.

Finally, I would entreat every team member to contribute heartily towards the achievement of our objective of becoming

the best in services in 2012.

Warm Regards,

Abdul Waheed

Human Capital Index (HCI):

A human capital Index study was conducted by Watson Wyatt. In their study, they have concluded which HR practices

and policies can have greatest correlation to shareholder value. It depicts the correlation between how organizations

manage their human capital and its impacts on their financial performance. This study has showed groundbreaking re-

sults that for the company which has better HR practices, there is higher shareholder value.

Here are some key findings of the study:

Organizations with superior HR practices have three times higher shareholder returns.

Good HR practices adapted by the organizations result in positive financial per-

formance to a much great extent when compared with the positive financial indi-

cators.

Some of the traditional HR practices like developmental training and 360-degree

appraisal, if not conducted properly can harmfully change the financial perfor-

mance of the company.

AGICO co. ltd is also adapting best HR practices is order to sustain its human

capital which will ensure financial stability in the future. The end goal of our or-

ganization is to increase shareholder returns by following HR practices which are

up to the mark.

Emotional Quotient (EQ):

EQ refers to emotional quotient which is a measure of our emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence or emotional

quotient emphasizes on self-awareness, control of emotions, anger management and emotions of other people as well.

These skills are essential for the success in leadership and our ability to manage change.

An emotional intelligent person comprises the following abilities:

An ability to understand and recognize feelings and emotions- Self-awareness.

The ability to manage what we think or how we control our actions- Self-regulation or

self-management.

The ability to understand the feelings and emotions of other people- Social Awareness.

The ability to express your feelings and emotions to others-Relationship management.

The research in the field of emotional quotient has conducted that having social and emo-

tional intelligence (soft skills) are necessary for achieving success and make you a better

leader.

At AGICO co. ltd., our main aim is to provide employees emotional stability which will

increase their motivation and enhance their work productivity. Also, emotional intelli-

gence will help our employees to nurture work relationships and establish teams in order to work in a more efficient

and effective manner.
