DR-WALTER employees have just completed an intensive professional learning week. The program featured a total of 35 training sessions, presentations, and workshops. These offered numerous opportunities to acquire new knowledge, share experiences, and gain fresh insights for their daily work.

A Wide Range of Topics for a Dynamic Work Environment

The fall educational week is a tradition at DR-WALTER. Most of the events were led by the company’s own employees, who shared their expertise and practical experience from a wide variety of business areas. The program was complemented by external speakers from insurance companies and partner firms.

The wide range of topics reflected the demands of a modern workplace: From insurance fraud and international health insurance to money laundering prevention, disability insurance, and contract law—and on to recruiting, time management, financial advice for women, and coping with change under constant stress—there was something for everyone. Current digital topics such as cybersecurity, Copilot, Personio, and other modern tools were also very well received. The week concluded on a high note with a cocktail-making class, which offered not only professional insights but also an opportunity for shared experiences.

Learning as Part of Corporate Culture

DR-WALTER places a high priority on fostering knowledge and skills. With the founding of the DR-WALTER Academy in 2024, a central framework was established to systematically expand training and professional development. This educational week was entirely dedicated to the annual motto "Flying to Excellence". Behind this is the conviction that a company’s long-term performance depends significantly on how it develops and utilizes the skills and commitment of its employees. After all, the demands placed on companies are constantly changing. New technologies, markets, and customer needs make a willingness to learn and grow essential. For DR-WALTER, learning means remaining innovative, high-performing, and future-proof. For employees, it means the opportunity to broaden their horizons, discover new perspectives, and actively drive their personal development.
