Professional development
Consider Swiss Re... because we both need a partner we can depend on.
Swiss Re views development as a three-way partnership. You, supported by your line manager, control where you want your career to go... what your objectives are – and what you need to achieve this. Swiss Re provides the platform and processes. By aligning business needs and personal goals, Swiss Re aims to create a development culture that enables employees – and the company – to realise their full potential.
Which is why on-the-job training is an integral part of any development plan. Backed by the requisite theoretical grounding, of course. And you can stretch your capabilities by working as part of a cross-functional project team. Or broaden your horizons and experience of other cultures and mentalities.

Your career in underwriting could take you into communications; your grounding in IT may be your springboard to training others. Whatever you want to achieve, you’ll find Swiss Re behind you every step of the way. |
But it’s not all about qualifications and experience. We place just as much emphasis on developing soft skills such as leadership and multi-cultural ability. A number of Corporate Learning programmes have been introduced to ensure continuous learning, to share best practices, to promote understanding of strategies and to orchestrate networking. In 2001, more than 600 employees attended the people management leadership courses and professionals‘ programmes. Swiss Re has a management development process in place Group-wide. High performers are identified, assessed and their development fostered. Talent pools at different levels provide candidates for key positions. Investing in outstanding young talent today ensures the sustainable development of the company in the future.
