Career & Learning GPS: Turning Career Ambitions into Action at SCOR

Career development looks different for every employee. Some want to deepen their expertise, or broaden their experience through new projects, others want to explore a completely different function.

What many employees have in common is a simple question: What comes next, and how do I get there?

To help answer that question, SCOR has launched the Career & Learning GPS, a new experience designed to help employees explore career possibilities, understand the skills required for different roles, and identify learning pathways that support their ambitions.

Making Career Possibilities More Visible

One of the biggest challenges employees face is not always knowing what opportunities exist beyond their current role.

The Career & Learning GPS helps address that by bringing together information on jobs, skills, competencies, and learning resources in one place. Employees can explore roles across the organization, understand the capabilities needed for those positions, and identify the steps that could help them move closer to their goals.

As Group Chief Corporate Officer Claire Le Gall-Robinson explained during the launch session, employees need visibility into career options, confidence in their skills, and guidance to make informed decisions about their development. The Career & Learning GPS was created to support exactly that.

What Does That Look Like in Practice?

Imagine an employee working in Finance who is interested in becoming an Underwriter.

The Career & Learning GPS can help make that transition more tangible.

Imagine, for example, that you work in Finance and are curious about Underwriting. Career GPS can help you explore what that possibility could involve, see the competencies associated with the role and identify areas you may want to develop.

Next, the tool highlights development opportunities and learning resources that can help bridge any skill gaps. Rather than searching across multiple platforms, employees can access relevant learning content linked directly to the competencies they want to develop.

The platform also serves as a starting point for conversations with managers, mentors, and colleagues. Employees can use the information they discover to discuss career aspirations, identify development opportunities, and explore ways to gain exposure to new areas of the business.

In short, the tool does not decide a career path for employees. Instead, it provides greater visibility and practical guidance so they can make informed decisions about their next steps.

Supporting Learning and Mobility

The Career & Learning GPS is built on the belief that careers are rarely linear.

During the launch session, several SCOR employees shared examples of careers that have evolved across different functions, countries, and responsibilities. Their experiences highlighted an important message: development is not only about promotions. It can also mean broadening expertise, learning new skills, taking part in projects, or exploring a completely different direction.

To support those journeys, the Career & Learning GPS connects employees with curated learning pathways, skills development opportunities, and resources that encourage continuous growth.

A Tool for Employees, Managers, and Career Conversations

While employees remain in the driver's seat of their careers, development is not something they do alone.

Managers play an important role in helping employees explore possibilities, discuss aspirations, and identify opportunities to grow. The Career & Learning GPS provides a shared reference point for those conversations, making it easier to discuss future roles, skills development, and potential career moves.

As several speakers emphasized during the launch, successful career development is built on shared responsibility: employees own their career journey, managers support and enable growth, and the organization provides the tools, visibility, and opportunities that make development possible.

Navigating What's Next

There is no single definition of a successful career, and there is no single path to get there.

The Career & Learning GPS is designed to help employees better understand their options, discover opportunities across SCOR, and take concrete steps toward their professional goals.

Whether someone wants to deepen expertise in their current field, or explore a completely new direction, the Career & Learning GPS provides the visibility, learning resources, and support to help them navigate the journey.
