The COVID-19 pandemic has made it abundantly clear that risks are ever changing. In addition to assessing the risks of the pandemic, insurance professionals have to think about the ways in which it could affect their individual lives.
Added to that, is the fact that new technologies, increasing globalization and global climate change have created an already complex risk landscape for insurers to navigate.
With such an ever-changing world, insurance and risk management professionals may need to hit the books just to keep up.
Insurance designations provide a way for those working in the industry to hone and practice their skills, learn about new risks and make professional connections.
“It doesnt matter what it is that youre trying to accomplish, whether its running a marathon or learning to play an instrument or anything in business, you have to seek out ways to practice. Thats how we improve,” said John Chino, ARM-PE, CSRM, area senior vice president, public sector at Arthur J. Gallagher.
