Sue Davies said, “We need to change the perception of insurance.” Our Chief Human Resources Officer recently participated in a panel, as part of Intelligent Insurer's Talent Month series. This fourth report delves into the future of talent acquisition and retention for the insurance market. During the discussion, Sue explained that a compelling value proposition is essential for attracting new talent to the insurance industry. She is confident that highlighting the industry’s core values and the exciting opportunities it offers can change perceptions and attract a diverse pool of talent. “We want to ensure that people don’t see insurance as that boring, old industry,” she asserted. Sue also emphasized the significance of trusted relationships. “The importance of collaboration and connectivity cannot be overstated,” she noted.

Two of our employee-led resource groups (ERGs), the Markel Veterans Network (MVN) and Black Engagement at Markel (BEAM), partnered to host the third gathering in our Richmond Summer Event Series. Employees enjoyed conversations in the cooler weather while eating lunch from various local food trucks. When asked about the importance of ERGs, BEAM’s Growth and Development Lead Syshelle Chantilou said, “ERGs are important to Markel because they give the associated a sense of belonging. They also foster things such as leadership and of course community outreach and involvement.” MVN Support Lead Ron Slone also shared, “With the ERGs, the big thing that I always preach is that it’s not about what we get from Markel, it’s about what we bring to Markel.” Learn more about our employee-led resource groups here: https://lnkd.in/eRhDJtzh. #WeAreMarkel
