Human resources, performance and flexibility

The first finding: The recently-recovered good health enables the insurance sector to hire — but not any profile. Managers of human resources favor actuaries, experts in risk management, forecast management, client-relation, communication, and information technology, ..., that is, specialized profiles in line with the market requirements and in tune with the profession's evolution.

The second finding: Such optimism should not divert us from the logic of financial markets and shareholders whose key word remains: profitability. To reach that goal, companies will not think twice before using the weapon of structural adjustments programs.

Indeed, the increasingly-demanding market, competence wise, operates relentlessly within this context of job flexibility, not to say job insecurity.
