The Deloitte Talent in Insurance Survey 2015

Article Synopsis :

Insurance was ranked a lowly 19^th out of 26 sectors by popularity among UK business students in 2015. In the looming digital talent war for millennials how might insurers compete?

Digital talent moves the needle moving forward …

The “Deloitte Talent in Insurance survey 2015 (UK)”, addresses the common perceptions graduates in the UK have about the insurance industry and suggests strengths insurers might play to better attract talent in the future.

Produced in collaboration with Universum, Deloitte surveyed 211,000 business students from more than 2,000 universities and institutes of higher education in 30 markets. Students were asked about their intentions, aspirations and expectations in relation to their career choice. The research uncovered three major (mis)perceptions about insurance careers:

1. Insurance is a poor career platform
2. Insurance is domestically focused
3. Insurers lack innovation

The good news is respondent’s top-five career goals all map to insurance, its future if not its past:

1. To have work-life balance.
2. To be secure or stable in my job.
3. To have an international career.
4. To be a leader or manager of people.
5. To be competitively or intellectually challenged.

The study finds UK students are above all aspirational. Insurers must re-think and re-package their hiring strategies presenting a dynamic future to attract the best of the lot.
