Jacobson and Ward Group to Gather Valuable Industry Data in Mid-Year Insurance Labor Outlook Study

July 13, 2015
CHICAGO – The Jacobson Group and Ward Group, an Aon Hewitt company, are conducting the 2015 mid-year iteration of the Semi-Annual U.S. Insurance Labor Outlook Study. Since 2009, this survey has provided insurers with valuable information on labor trends and has proven to be an accurate predictor of the industry’s staffing outlook. The survey began on July 8 and is set to close on July 24, 2015.

As the industry comes face-to-face with a number of labor trends including an aging workforce and an increase in retirements, the “war for talent” is here. “As demand continues to far surpass the supply of industry professionals, the insurance recruiting climate is becoming more and more challenging. As a result, insurance organizations must rethink their current talent strategies and practices,” says Gregory P. Jacobson, co-chief executive officer of Jacobson. “The results of this survey will help them better manage their staffing and recruiting strategies.”

Organizations across all sectors of the insurance industry are invited to complete the confidential survey. All participants will receive a complimentary report detailing the survey results. To complete the survey, follow this link: http://16.selectsurvey.net/McLagan/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=l8KL697.

The results of the survey will be revealed and analyzed in a complimentary webinar on August 11, 2015. All members of the insurance community are welcome to attend. To register for the webinar, follow this link: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/8755446643908186369.
