Industry Perspectives on the Talent Gap

PwC
Report: Talent Strategies for Today's Insurers

"For years, insurance carriers have been trying to reinvent the way they attract, motivate and retain employees to stay relevant to the modern workforce. While some have certainly had successes, many have fallen short—and with the median age of insurance company employees already higher than other financial sectors, replacing talent is fast becoming a critical issue."

The America Works Report: Industry Perspectives

"According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the number of insurance professionals aged 55 and older has increased 74% in the last ten years, leading the BLS to estimate that over the next 15 years, 50% of the current insurance workforce will retire, leaving more than 400,000 open positions unfilled."
