Great employees drive value
Editorial
At If Insurance, we need the right competencies to provide excellent customer service, value adding expertise, smooth claims handling as well as keep up with innovation and technological development.
Having the right competencies does not necessarily require many years of experience within the insurance field. A diverse workforce includes people who come from other industries, which in our experience brings new perspectives and works very well with experienced insurance specialists. This has been proven to be the best combination to increase value and strengthen collaboration.
The state of the current labour market requires businesses to reconsider how they recruit, retain and motivate their employees. In today’s competitive business landscape, having the right employees is paramount to the success of any organisation.
The full potential from a diverse workforce
Reaching the full potential from a diverse workforce, requires a high level of psychological safety to foster a culture where challenging one another is encouraged. To dare to speak up, have an open mind, and question the conventional way of doing things, are highly appreciated at If. Additionally, having a flat organisational structure helps to promote this culture. This not only enhances employee engagement but also brings a wider range of perspectives to the table when making important decisions. Ultimately, I believe that having fun at work and being in a positive environment inspires all of us to work better.
In today’s market, attracting and retaining young talent, sets new demands for employers. This is not only about having the right benefits and incentives, but we must also be able to put increased focus on mental health and well-being. Today, the most common cause for temporary or permanent occupational disability amongst the young workforce in the Nordic countries is related to mental health.
