It involves passion and energy, gaining experience and skills, building relationships, resilience and a can-do attitude. And moving ahead is easier when your employer supports you with opportunities for continuous learning, career mobility and mentorship.
Our ability to deliver excellence in underwriting and superior service depends upon identifying, developing and supporting employee talent. To that end, Chubb makes substantial investments in its people so they can perform their jobs with excellence — and have opportunities to grow professionally.
Always future-focused, Chubb advocates for continuous learning and we support a wealth of learning and development opportunities. Through in-person and online classes and career development programs, employees can deepen their knowledge and technical skills, become better managers and prepare for new challenges. For example, a program for early career professionals provides a grounding in the fundamentals of insurance, giving a fast start to the next generation of insurance professionals. Programs and resources that are field specific — such as in technology and risk engineering — accelerate employee development.
Chubb is a global company with local operations. Clients around the world benefit from our people on the ground who understand local markets and cultures — and we benefit from the movement of people within the company. Providing opportunities for mobility, both within the company and across different countries and geographic regions, is key to how we develop talent at Chubb. Employees are exposed to a variety of markets and cultures and given ongoing opportunities to learn, network, progress and succeed.
At Chubb we recognize and welcome diversity, equity and inclusion as defining strengths. Our employee recruitment, development and advancement practices are informed by our global culture, built upon shared values, and reflect a microcosm of the broader society we serve.
Our efforts are iterative and evolving as we strive to be an inclusive meritocracy, to create an atmosphere where all colleagues feel comfortable to perform to their full potential and are recognized for their contributions.
The value of mentorship and “manager as coach” is embedded in Chubb’s culture and is key to sharpening performance, honing interpersonal skills and setting in motion the exciting next chapter in a career. We offer numerous means to empower, facilitate and celebrate mentorship success. Employees at all levels are able to reach out for mentoring in their areas of interest, and insurance leaders at the company willingly share their deep, specialized knowledge and experiential wisdom.

Through our coaching circles, employees can participate in a small networking group comprised of one coach and a handful of peers from a wide range of business lines and geographies.
Coaches share stories and provide personal insight into business challenges, career development and leadership topics helping their mentees build the knowledge and confidence to take the next step in their journey at Chubb.
