Theres keen focus in the insurance industry about overhauling obsolete IT infrastructure to support innovation, along with the resulting costs and benefits. Yet few people talk about the benefits of top industry talent in the same quantified manner.
For innovation to truly scale, the industry needs to be able to attract and retain the best talent.
With the proliferation of the Insurance Careers Movement, weve seen insurers take important steps in trying to attract new talent to the industry, but struggle to put that talent on a path to succeed long-term.
With the insurance industrys unemployment rate down to just 2%, finding the right people to fill newer technology-driven roles, particularly those in data analytics or advanced AI, is proving to be increasingly challenging.
According to an independent study conducted by Insurity Valen Analytics, 73% of insurers find it moderately to extremely difficult to find new talent in data and analytics, and the reasons for this difficulty havent changed much over the years.
