Internal training

Nothing is as constant as change: what was true of Heraclitus of Ephesus roughly 2,500 years ago is just as true of our internal training. We know the value attached to solid and state-of-the-art internal training. For this reason, we have continuously expanded and enhanced this system in recent years. The positive feedback received from our staff testifies to its quality.

In 2010 we again dedicated ourselves to this topic. On the one hand, we were driven by the latest areas of knowledge, where the task was to provide more in-depth training within the company (e.g. Solvency II), while at the same time we also seek to rise to the challenges posed by new forms of learning. To date, so-called presence seminars (i.e. training activities offered by experienced members of staff or outside trainers) have formed the backbone of our internal (specialist) training programme; now, however, we have begun to add a second pillar of learning methodology known as “blended learning”. This refers to a learning arrangement in which online study phases and presence training are intelligently combined and synthesised into a single unit. Learning thus becomes more self-manageable and, not least, more independent of time and space, enabling us to integrate colleagues at our locations abroad more easily.
