As the insurance industry undergoes radical changes, there is increasing need for future skills. As we grow our dependence on data, analytics, cloud based platforms racing to become more efficient, our required skillsets are evolving.

In an Insurtech Insights survey of global insurance executives published in Q4 2020, 63% of those surveyed cited ‘not enough in-house IT capability/expertise’ and 74% cited ‘not enough capability to extract value from data’ as barriers to change.The same survey demonstrated that 64% of global insurance executives believed that ‘difficulty attracting qualified talent’ is a barrier. With insurers competing against employers in other sectors for people, learning and development (L+D) is very much on the agenda not just to ensure the right skills are in place but for insurers to be seen as attractive places for IT, IS, data and analytics professionals to build their careers. The race is on to not only source the best talent but also build and enable workforces to power the speed, breadth and depth of change that the industry requires. 

Tune in to see how industry leaders deploy new attraction and L&D strategies that invest in the growth of our most valuable asset, our talent.
