In recent years, PC360's editors and contributors have written frequently about how essential it will be for the insurance industry to modernize its workforce for long-term stability, as well as the challenges insurers face to address a rising talent gap. "Everybody is having a hard time finding talent, especially young talent," says Steve Radespiel of the Insurance Center of North Jersey. "It's important for employers to start thinking about how they can appeal to and recruit the very best talent for today and in the future," writes Erin Hendrick with Progressive Insurance. "Getting the word out about careers in risk management and insurance can be a challenge," explains Cassandra Cole, department chair and Dr. William T. Hold professor in risk management and insurance at Florida State University (FSU). The Jacobson Journal, an insurance talent blog, recently published a post that illuminated how "the insurance industry stands amid a rapidly evolving talent market."
