Promoting development

ERGO makes best use of personnel development programmes to ensure top-quality development for employees with potential at all levels of seniority. In both initial vocational training and further training for experienced employees, when developing future executives and planning succession to senior posts, ERGO believes in giving its employees targeted opportunities to grow.

We rely on qualified basic and advanced training to secure the next generation of our workforce and want to offer young people attractive professional perspectives in the Company as well as in Sales. Apart from training as qualified Finance and Insurance Clerk in-house and in sales agencies, ERGO also offers other future-oriented trainings such as for E-Commerce Clerk. A training is also available in the framework of dual studies.

Perspectives in training

ERGO has a comprehensive career training programme directed towards continually updating the knowledge and skills base of our employees and sales partners across all hierarchical levels. Online packages, such as our e-Campus, are playing an increasingly important role. This particular initiative is a learning platform used in Germany with a wide range of e-learning modules. We also offer comprehensive training sessions focused on service and consultancy expertise for our self-employed sales partners.

Key figures on initial and advanced training of in-house and field staff are available in our Reporting and figures section.

Identifying and promoting talented people

We strive to develop our future managerial staff with targeted talent management instruments. The Talent Identification Process serves to identify potential talents at an early stage and consistently promote their development. We are particularly committed to foster the development of women. The ERGO Mentoring Programme allows our female trainee managers to be mentored by experienced colleagues – across companies and industries. At the same time, we look to recruit and develop international talents. As part of these efforts, the participants in Munich Re’s international trainee programme EXPLORE also spent one training period at ERGO as the Group’s primary insurer.
