Personnel Management
Creating a Professional Development Plan
'Keep learning' is more than a catchphrase, it's a way of living.
As insurance people, we must continually learn about our craft. This industry is constantly changing and growing. What we know today won't necessarily help us tomorrow. Risks evolve. Coverages change.
Learning doesn't happen by accident; you need a plan to make sure you learn what you need to know when you need it.
In this session, we will present a process to create a professional development plan for you and your team.

A Case for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Your EPLI Toolkit
When Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion goals are prioritized during employee hiring, promotion, evaluation, and development, better outcomes can be realized for retention. These activities are often the source of EPLI losses stemming from failure to promote, negligent evaluation, deprivation of career opportunities, and wrongful termination. The ability to craft and communicate a commitment and strategy with DEI benchmarks may have favorable impacts on EPLI premiums and reduce loss frequency and severity. Join us as Precious Norman-Walton guides us into the EPLI implications of DEI on employers.
