International Mobility

In recent years, Helvetia has transformed from a Swiss insurance company into a global group, where collaboration and leadership across diverse cultures and regions is becoming a daily business.
We develop talents
As a company committed to the growth of our employees, we offer international experiences as part of our talent development program to foster new perspectives and ambitious goals. Helvetia provides a wide range of programmes for both early-career and experienced employees to support their international mobility. Discover more about our program and hear first-hand from participants.
Helvetia Summit Expedition

The Helvetia Summit Expedition (HSE) is a comprehensive development program for senior employees, who can and want to play an active role in shaping Helvetia's future. It spans the entire group, drawing participants from all market units. The focus lies on personal and leadership development, enabling a strategic perspective, and the Helvetia culture while also building up an international network. The program is conducted in collaboration with the Executive School of the University of St. Gallen, with around 25 participants each year.

Sibylle
"The HSE was a truly enriching experience that allowed me to further develop my skills in terms of strategic and leadership topics and to learn more about the Helvetia business in other market units. Above all, it was a great opportunity to expand my network within the Helvetia Group and to learn and benefit from the experiences of others."
Sibylle, Head of Sales Steering, Helvetia Switzerland
Executive Mentoring Journey

As part of the Executive Mentoring Journey, the participants can reflect on specific aspects of their personal and professional development – as a mentoring tandem together with a member of Group Executive Board or local Executive Management team. This experience aims to help them build new skills for taking action and finding solutions and to extend their network across market unit borders. Approximately 40 mentor/mentee pairs take part each year. The mentoring journey is concluded after one year, the trustful relationship stays much longer.

As part of the Cross-border Development Program, approximately 15 employees from all market units are given the opportunity each year to learn from best practices globally. The selected employees can work remotely or on-site for a short period of time on the projects of other market units, depending on the needs of the projects and the employees. This exchange is tailored to the employees' individual development needs, allowing them to gain a comprehensive understanding of the Helvetia Group.
