Jacobson and Ward Group Conduct Mid-Year U.S. Insurance Labor Outlook Study

July 11, 2016
CHICAGO – The 2016 mid-year iteration of the Semi-Annual U.S. Insurance Labor Outlook Study, conducted by The Jacobson Group and Ward Group, a part of Aon Hewitt, a business unit of Aon plc (NYSE: AON), will begin July 13 and close July 29, 2016. Since 2009, this survey has offered valuable labor trend insights and has become a predictor of the industry’s staffing outlook.

The insurance industry has entered an era of rapid change and evolution. "This is undoubtedly the most competitive recruiting environment the industry has ever seen,” says Gregory P. Jacobson, co-chief executive officer of The Jacobson Group. "Our industry has a virtually non-existent unemployment rate. Couple that with a growing focus on hiring and an already severe lack of incumbent talent to create the perfect talent storm. This study will help insurers better understand the talent climate and strategize for success.”

Organizations across all sectors of the industry are invited to complete in the confidential survey. All participants will receive a complimentary report detailing the survey results. To participate in the survey, follow this link: http://jcbsn.gr/TakeSurvey16.

The survey results will be discussed in a complimentary webinar on August 10, 2016, at 1:00 p.m. CDT. All members of the insurance community are welcome to attend. To register for the webinar, follow this link: http://jcbsn.gr/WebinarRegister16.
