Academy Workshop - People Risk - Human Capital Acquisition & Retention

If you would like to attend this session, please email learning@airmic.com

Employers are continuing to face strategic challenges around workforce planning in the wake of events such as Brexit and the Covid pandemic, and even in good times, there never seems to be enough available talent to fill roles that are considered vital for the future success of the organisation. This has led to the much publicised “War for Talent” – a phrase that has become common-place in recent years as demand for talent has outstripped available supply.

By considering the benefits of a robust talent management strategy, including an understanding of their own employee value proposition, firms can effectively mitigate the risk of simply not having enough ‘hands on deck’ to meet the strategic needs of customers and clients.

While the insurance industry makes a significant contribution to the UK economy, it still has a perception among candidates of being a poor platform for career growth. In the loss-adjusting world, the lack of suitable future ‘talent’ at the major and complex practitioner level has been the case for more than a decade; what are firms doing about this as claims volumes increase as a result of climate change and catastrophe events?
