The insurance industry is currently undergoing a period of upheaval that has rarely been seen before. Major challenges include:
- The continuing disruption caused by the increased level of digitisation and automation of various functions
- Keeping up with the evolving ways in which insurance is procured both by individuals and also corporate entities
- A move towards low-risk areas and for smaller companies, a level of specialisation that creates a differentiating factor
- Attracting employees from other sectors vying for the same technology savvy talent pool
From a real estate perspective this means:
- Maintaining an agile and efficient portfolio to adapt quickly to business challenges
- Keeping a fierce control of costs to focus resources on market facing products and services
- Ensuring effective use of capital with a clear own versus lease strategy
- Providing attractive workplaces and workplace experiences especially in the locations which attract the best talent
