Who remembers when you’d never think to “bring your whole self to work?” Boomers do! But today’s workplace is vastly different. Bosses need to watch for signs of employees’ mental health issues. On this recording, we hear from Travelers’ Joan Woodward, who highlights key findings of a new study on the pervasiveness of mental health in the workplace. Joan oversees the Travelers Institute, a public policy platform within the carrier to educate the public about all things insurance. Joan provides actionable, step-by-step guidance for managers on how to properly meet their workers in this space. Some 66% of managers have had conversations with employees about mental health, yet only 45% have received training on exactly how to talk about it. Most managers, too, say they’ve experienced mental health symptoms, to include stress, anxiety and sleep difficulties.

Chris Ainsworth, VP of Claims for Southern General Insurance Company (SGIC), sits down with Cogitate to discuss the litigious environment in which SGIC operates, and how her department has adopted technology to avoid costly bad faith exposures. Reflecting the legal environment in which SGIC is writing non-standard personal auto, Georgia has been named by the American Tort Reform Association (ATRA) as the “#1Judicial Hellhole” in the United States.

With social inflation at an all-time high, finding a way to manage Attorney Time Limit Demands has been a game changer for Chris and her claims team. Check out this interview to learn how SGIC applied AI-powered technology to identify and manage the entire Time Limit Demand Letter process.

Insurtechs and online MGAs increasingly will be folded into tech-enabled carriers and marketplaces. That’s the prediction of Bryan Davis, who leads VIU, HUB’s online insurance platform for consumers and business partners. Most insurtechs aren’t profitable, he says. On this recording, Bryan outlines the underlying reasons why the pressure is on insurtechs, such as more expensive investment capital and incomplete end-to-end technology. He also challenges agents and brokers to focus on sales and leave back-end processing and follow-on service instead to efficient business partners. Also, for all the emerging talent needed to join the insurance industry, Bryan defends the value of the beleaguered liberal arts degree.
