Developing staff is arguably one of the greatest challenges to effectively managing a claims organization. It’s a delicate balance to please customers, shareholders, board members, and executives while executing basic blocking and tackling maneuvers in an increasingly litigious environment often wrought with fraud.

Hire the best and the brightest. In a day and age when doing more with less has become the new norm, it is impossible to move your organization ahead with mediocrity. While this may seem overly simplistic, consider how many times hasty hires have been made simply to fill an open seat before a new hire requisition is pulled due to inactivity.
