Taking The Insurance Message to the Next Generation
The WCI enthusiastically promoted the insurance sector to the next generation at the recent Livery Schools Link Showcase event, attended by 600 primary students and over 1200 secondary school children.
The WCI team was led by iENGAGE co-ordinator Josh Brekenfeld who pulled together a team of young graduates and apprentices from the market: “ They were able to talk to the students as peers. We found that to be very helpful both for the students as well as the graduates who participated”, said Josh.
In addition there were VT headsets that showed the Lloyd’s building and also how to place a risk. The stand also had the Risk game that is supported by various market bodies.
A special thank you to Master Terry Masters, Senior. Warden Rosemary Beaver and Junior Warden David Sales who were on hand to support and answer questions.
FCA Sets Out its Priorities for iNEDs
Karina McTeague from the Financial Conduct Authority brought iNED members up-to-date with the regulator’s current priorities at the June iNED forum.
She said the new business plan focussed on culture and governance and operational resilience and highlighted the important role independent non-executive directors have to play in promoting these objectives. She encouraged the insurance sector to do more to embed a healthy culture, especially by creating a “speaking up” culture within firms.
She discussed the approach that was needed to make a success of the Senior Managers and Certification Regime, saying that clarity of accountability and raising standards were the key elements. The importance of developing operational resilience was also stressed with the help of illustrations of high profile failures in the banking sector.
The iENGAGE leadership team is excited to continue a series of Lunch and Learn events, each covering a unique topic. The next event will examine the topical challenge of the impact of climate change on insurance.
The guest speakers will be Rowan Douglas CBE - WCI Liveryman and CEO, Capital, Science & Policy Practice and Chairman, Willis Research Network, Willis Group, and Nick Dunlop - WCI Court Assistant and Managing Director and Client Relationship Director, Willis Towers Watson.
