How to attract top talent to insurance
Richard Coleman, managing director of Ecclesiastical, said painting a picture of your company’s purposes and laying out long-term development paths is vital if insurers want to win the war for talent.
In his Insurance Post Top Tips video Coleman recommends:
- Be clear on your purpose and values.
- Build believable plans.
- Outline career possibilities.
Coleman said: “Top talent want to make a difference, so let’s be clear about how they can do that and make it a driving force in your business. Help them understand how they can be a part of that."
Post’s Top Tips videos feature the industry’s leading lights sharing simple but effective ideas that could take your insurance business and career to the next level.
