Using LinkedIn data and talent insight reports, we’ve found that the median tenure for workers compensation and self-insurance professionals is currently around 2.3 years before they decide to move on. These role changes may be internal promotions or moves to new employers. Over the past 12 months, this trend has remained relatively stable, as the rising cost of living has made many professionals cautious about changing jobs, with job security becoming a key concern. Interestingly, we’ve also observed that many employers are conducting out-of-cycle remuneration reviews to retain and engage their top talent.
In August this year The Insurance Council of Australia released a report on The Insurance Industry Talent Roadmap which stated:
“Businesses throughout Australia are facing the most severe skill and labour shortages witnessed in decades. Driven by demographic trends, lingering pandemic effects, skills gaps and declining labour market mobility, this shortage is already significantly impacting the insurance sector.”
