The Hartford Posts 2Q Profits
By host @ 12:44 AM :: 132 Views ::
0 Comments :: :: In Your Business

"The Hartford performed well, reporting another quarter of profitability in spite of market volatility, higher than expected catastrophes and several one-time events," said the property-casualty and life insurer's chairman and CEO Liam E. McGee. Among them: Wind and hail claims from storms in the Midwest that were $87 million more than expected during the second quarter. The Hartford's bottom line also absorbed a $168 million charge for customer acquisition, a $110 million increase in reserves to pay asbestos-related claims and a $100 million goodwill-impairment charge related to acquiring Federal Trust Bank in 2009 — a move that transformed The Hartford into a bank-holding company and allowed it to receive federal stimulus money.

ATLANTA, July 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- KMC On Demand, a leading online provider of continuing education (CE) credits for insurance claims adjusters, and a key insurance industry advisory committee are launching the pilot of a Property Technical Certification (PTC) program designed to fill a gap in validation of expertise among property claims adjusters.

"The auto claims industry has been standardized for a number of years, and this program will bring the property claims industry up to speed.

PTC provides a standard measure that will be recognized by insureds, employers and the industry." Source: PR Newswire

Wanted: The Next Generation of Claims Adjusters
By host @ 9:33 AM :: 2676 Views ::
19 Comments :: :: In Your Business
|
" In a time when large-loss expertise is critical to carriers, a generation of experienced adjusters is preparing to leave the worldwide insurance workforce. Yes, their retirements might be delayed due to the current global economic situation. However, with the leading edge of the post-WWII generation well into its 60s, it’s safe to say that significant expertise will exit the workforce in the coming decade.
At the same time, the insurance industry has long had difficulty attracting and keeping adjusters who could learn from their predecessors. Insurance adjusting, for example, doesn’t appear on the U.S. News and World Report best careers for 2009 (though “politician” did make the list, which gives pause for thought). And according to the 2009 Robert Half International Salary Guide, you might want to become a dental hygienist or personal financial advisor—the potential of the latter being understandable today—but not an insurance adjuster."
