1 In-house staff and salaried field staff:
2 In 2019, individual ERGO companies abroad were sold. This has reduced the total number of employees.
3 Since2018, the figures of Munich Health companies are included. The international companies in primary health business (previously managed by Munich Health) were transferred to ERGO International in the financial year 2017.
4 The decrease in self-employed sales agents can be attributed to structural changes in Germany and at specific international companies, and data corrections.
5 Other employees (e.g. clinical staff) have been reported separately since 2019.
6 The figure includes in-house and salaried field staff at the operational ERGO companies in Germany.
7 The figure was subsequently corrected to reflect changes in the recording categories.

1 The number of trainees in Germany decreased following a temporary reduction in new recruitment as part of the ERGO strategy programme.
2 Training days in total include in-house and salaried field staff.
3 Advanced training days of salaried and self-employed field staff. Figures include central advanced training programmes organised by ERGO as well as decentral trainings within the scope of the EU Insurance Distribution Directive (IDD) and “Good advice” initiative of the German Insurance Association and its Code of Conduct for sales of insurance
4 In 2019, the number of training days increased, partly due to new training courses on digitisation in sales.
5 The high number of training days in 2017 is mainly due to the mandatory training for consulting on securities.
