Each year, Business Talent Group releases the High-End Independent Talent Report, looking across industries and business functions to analyze how business leaders deploy top independent talent to fill critical skill, expertise, and leadership gaps. Here are the key insurance trends for 2021.
As insurance executives enter 2021, the focus is twofold: accelerate recovery strategies by focusing on business processes, service operations, and transformations while simultaneously searching for growth opportunities in products and services buoyed by digital, data, and automation. Independent talent offer a fast, flexible, and low-risk source of skills, expertise, and capacity to meet this dual focus in insurance.
