Talent Gap

When jobs are in high demand for both employers and prospective employees, it creates a hyper-competitive job market that requires a strategic approach.

ITL FOCUS is a monthly initiative featuring topics related to innovation in risk management and insurance.

This month, we're focusing on Talent Gap

Jenn Knight, co-founder and chief technology officer of AgentSync, lays out an approach that seems like it should be obvious but that somehow isn't. Her approach to attracting and retaining talent? Stop driving it away. 

She explains how companies can use technology to onboard talent faster and more efficiently and remove much of the drudgery from their work that can make them seek greener pastures in other industries. 

But there is an 'i' in 'WIN.' Let’s talk talent. Let’s talk football.

While talent challenges are nothing new to insurers, new research shows they are prioritizing talent strategies more than ever in the post-pandemic era.

Individuals are reevaluating what’s important to them, what they want for their careers and the pandemic's significant impact and financial burden on their families.

Marie Carr, Amanda Davis, and Bhushan Sethi, along with moderator Paul Carroll, discuss creating a culture of innovation and how to attract new talent and motivate and upskill existing talent.

As employees start to return to work after two years of mostly working remotely, smart employers are rethinking just about all aspects of how work is done to get the best of both the home and office worlds.
