Managerial, Talent and Leadership Development

Supporting Managers to Lead, Grow, and Inspire

Strong leadership is key to creating sustainable performance. At Generali, we place strong emphasis on the continuous development of our People Managers, equipping them with the skills, mindset, and confidence to lead teams in a complex and rapidly evolving environment.

More than 9,500 People Managers across the Group have taken part in our global managerial development programmes over the years, reflecting our long-term commitment to learning and growth. Building on earlier initiatives such as MAP and MAP2TheNew, our MAP FORWARD programme supports managers in bringing Generali’s strategy to life.

These initiatives encourage leaders to act as role models of Excellence, empowering teams, fostering innovation, and embracing new technologies, data, and artificial intelligence, while maintaining a strong human-centric leadership approach. They are built to support managers in translating strategic priorities into everyday actions, developing talent, leading change with confidence, and building inclusive, high-performing teams.
 

Leadership Training

Generali invests in leadership development initiatives that strengthen effectiveness, self-awareness, and the ability to inspire others.

Over the years, several initiatives have been launched to support Leaders’ development:

• Leadership Program
  A customised immersive programme developed with leading business schools. Through lectures, company visits, and interactive sessions, participants explore evolving macroeconomic challenges and key strategic topics such as Generative AI, sustainability, and human-centric leadership.
• Executive Coaching
  Individual coaching sessions designed to support leaders in addressing specific challenges, strengthening self-awareness, and enhancing communication and executive presence.
• Copilot and GenAI Adoption Training
  Hands-on training on Microsoft Copilot M365 that provides an overview of Generali’s AI strategy and helps leaders develop a prompt mindset while exploring practical use cases for Generative AI.
   

Talent Development and Career Paths

Developing People is essential to building a strong and sustainable organisation.
In a rapidly evolving world, Generali’s long-term success depends on attracting curious minds, developing future-ready skills, and creating an environment where People can develop, express their full potential, and thrive professionally.

We foster a Culture of Excellence where growth, inclusion, and meritocracy encourage continuous learning, individual accountability, and everyone’s contribution to the Group’s success. Within this cultural environment, Generali People are empowered to evolve and shape their own development journeys over time. The Group People Strategy – People Powered Excellence – provides the framework that supports this approach, combining transparent growth opportunities, structured learning pathways, and tools that enable informed and sustainable career choices.

At the core of People Powered Excellence, our Group-wide Talent Strategy connects key development elements – from goal setting and continuous feedback, to regular development conversations – to build a strong and sustainable pipeline of future leaders and key professionals across the Group.

To further accelerate the growth of our People, we invest in dedicated global initiatives, including:

• Group Acceleration Programs
  Targeted programmes designed to strengthen both leadership and technical excellence. Through initiatives such as Jump Into The Future!, we support selected People on their development journey, preparing them for key roles and enabling them to actively contribute to the Group’s transformation and long-term success.
• Development Centres
  Structured assessment experiences that provide objective insights into skills and potential, supporting the definition of personalised and targeted development plans.
• We GROW
  Our global internal mobility platform makes career opportunities accessible across countries, business lines, and functions. We GROW enables Generali People to explore new career paths, develop and enrich their skills, and build diverse experiences across the Group.
