Growing your protection business in a challenging market
With interest rates rising and inflation still high, the protection market continues to face a raft of economic headwinds during the cost of living crisis. With Consumer Duty now upon us, there is more emphasis than ever on meeting client needs, delivering fair value and avoiding foreseeable harm.
This has put protection in the spotlight at a time when client budgets are squeezed and persistency is under pressure. In this webinar, we explored how protection advisers can maximise the opportunities available on the market to ensure their businesses thrive in an ever-challenging climate.
Panel: Matthew Chapman - Plus Protect and The Protection Coach;
Charlotte Nixon - Mortgage and Protection Proposition Director, Quilter Financial Planning;
Gary King - Head of Protection Specialists, Vitality
Chair: Rob Harvey, Adviser Editor, Vitality
Meeting the needs of PMI clients in a volatile market
With demand for health insurance increasing, it's crucial that insurers innovate to meet the changing needs of customers, and deliver care sustainably. To meet the changing needs of clients, health insurance has needed to adapt to support people through everyday care, earlier intervention and by prioritising prevention to achieve better health outcomes.
In this webinar, we gathered the PMI industry’s leading thinkers to debate what’s next for the health insurance market as we enter an inflection point and how this will impact the important role both providers and intermediaries have to play.
Panel: Ian Sawyer - Commercial Director, Howden Life and Health;
Claire Ginnelly - Vice Chairperson of the Association of Medical Insurers and Intermediaries, AMII;
Athos Rushovich - Specialist Health Sales and Vitality Adviser, Vitality
Chair: Adam Saville, Chief Editor, Vitality
Supporting staff wellbeing in an ever-changing workplace
Dame Carol Black and Director of the Vitality Performance Champions, Maggie Alphonsi, explored how employers are supporting staff in a rapidly changing world on our recent Forward Thinking webinar.
The workplace has changed almost beyond recognition in recent years. From the pandemic to Brexit to a cost-of-living crisis, UK organisations are still adapting. And this is showing now signs of curtailing.
With our most recent Britain’s Healthiest Workplace (BHW) showing UK productivity is still declining and employees facing a number of health-related risks in the workplace, we invited the DWP’s newly appointed chair of the Occupational Health Taskforce Dame Carol Black and Director of the Vitality Performance Champions, Maggie Alphonsi, to explore further.
We also dived deeper into the into the BHW data with Vitality’s Head of Corporate Sales, Gary Impett, to unpack the trends we’re seeing. Watch the Forward Thinking webinar on demand below.
