"For years, insurance carriers have been trying to reinvent the way they attract, motivate and retain employees to stay relevant to the modern workforce. While some have certainly had successes, many have fallen short—and with the median age of insurance company employees already higher than other financial sectors, replacing talent is fast becoming a critical issue."
"According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of insurance professionals aged 55 and older has increased 74% in the last ten years, leading the BLS to estimate that over the next 15 years, 50% of the current insurance workforce will retire, leaving more than 400,000 open positions unfilled."
"Insurers are facing a growing war for talent, The focus needs to shift toward recruiting and engaging the next generation of talent and bringing Millennials into insurance. Insurers must
join together and re-brand insurance as the industry of choice for young professionals."
