January 08, 2018

CHICAGO – The 2018 first quarter iteration of the Semi-Annual U.S. Insurance Labor Outlook Study will begin January 8 and close January 31, 2018. The survey is conducted by The Jacobson Group and Ward Group, a part of Aon plc (NYSE: AON). In its ninth year, the labor outlook study continues to provide valuable insights on insurance labor trends and has become an accurate predictor of the industry’s staffing outlook.

“The insurance industry labor market continues to tighten,” says Gregory P. Jacobson, co-chief executive officer of Jacobson. “Nearly full employment, impending mass retirements and an emerging skills gap are creating an unprecedented talent reality. Faced with the unique challenges of this labor market, insurers must take a deep look at their current staffing strategies. This survey will help to provide a baseline from which the industry can make the adjustments necessary to build a successful workforce.”

Organizations across all sectors of the insurance industry are invited to complete the complimentary survey. Participation is confidential, and detailed results will be distributed to all participants at no cost. To complete the survey, follow this link: http://survey.mclagan.com/TakeSurvey.aspx?SurveyID=mlLH5m6#.

The survey results and analysis will be discussed in a complimentary webinar on February 15, 2018. All members of the insurance community are welcome to attend. To register for the webinar, follow this link: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/4605745744940194050.
