Your development with us

To ensure that all People Managers are equipped with the essential skills to effectively lead their teams, global managerial training programs have been initiated over the years, involving over 9,500 people managers within the Group.

After two successful global programs completed in the past years – MAP and MAP2TheNew – and several local initiatives dedicated to People Managers, in 2024, a new Managerial Acceleration Program – MAP FORWARD – was launched with the ambition to equip People Managers with the necessary skills to be role models in excellence, to strengthen the development of their people and experimentation, embracing new technologies, data, and artificial intelligence, while leveraging their human-centric leadership. The MAP FORWARD program will also continue during the new strategic cycle 2025-2027.
 

To drive Generali’s growth in today’s increasingly challenging economic and geopolitical scenario, Generali invest in their Leaders to increase their effectiveness encompassing self-awareness, role modelling through responsible decision making, inspiring others through vision and optimism, embodying inclusion and connectedness and developing people.

To support the Leaders development, the following leadership initiatives have been launched in the past years:

• 360° FEEDBACK SURVEY, a leadership development tool to further develop leaders' self-awareness within the Group, enhance their decision-making abilities in uncertain situations, and encourage them to act as role models, promoting an inclusive work environment;
• LEADERSHIP PROGRAM, a customized immersive program in collaboration with premium business schools  to explore the challenges and opportunities of the new macroeconomic context, embrace innovative work paradigms, and delve into relevant topics such as sustainability, Generative AI, and new technologies through a mix of interactive lectures and company visits;

We are aware that the success of a sustainable business depends on the involvement of people and talent development. Therefore, we always strive to provide development opportunities to our Talents to support them in leading people and organizations.

As a consequence, in line with the Generali Competency Model, we have developed specific global processes and initiatives:

• GLG Performance Management and Talent Review Process: an annual process involving the Senior Leaders of the Group, which aims to develop global leaders.
• Talents Review: an annual process, carried out with the full involvement of the HR and Business leaders, that aims to discuss the acceleration and growth of selected Talents, also with a strong focus on DE&I, in order to build a sustainable leadership pipeline.
• Development Center: an important step in our Talent identification process characterized by the completion of a leadership and behavior assessment to ensure the coherence with the Generali Lifetime Partner Competency Model.
• We GROW: an internal global platform where open opportunities are shared in a fair and transparent way with Talents from the Group to accelerate their growth through diverse professional experiences at international and cross-functional level, empowering them to take ownership of their career development. This is a key lever to invest in the growth of our people, developing their skills through internal mobility.
• Global Acceleration Programs for selected talents: to continue to invest in our Talents to elevate their leadership and technical excellence to guide the company of the future, while driving Group transformation and performance, recurrent tailored global acceleration programs for selected Talents (e.g. Jump Into The Future!) aiming at developing distinctive Talents into our most critical global roles with strong Leaders’ commitment focusing on strategic priorities for our Group business agenda such as Sustainability, new technologies and AI, and key topics such as intercultural team, innovation and culture of experimentation.
