About The Study
Every day SGA Talent creates talent pools of skilled professionals to help our clients recruit top talent. A vast majority of our job is to know
where the talent is, who they are and the career path they took to get there.
Highlights of what SGA Talent has Discovered within the Insurance Industry’s Workforce:
1. Education is Important
The study discovered that many of the industry’s leaders and professionals are highly educated. The majority of these leaders
understandably have a Bachelor degree, but more importantly they have advanced degrees.
2. A Professional’s Track Record Matters
A big take away was that while education and the relevant qualifications are all important, the quality of a professional’s working
experience and professional track record is the strongest indicator for potential leaders. With certainty is was discovered that many
of these professionals have strong industry experience and the fact that many new hires at the executive levels have consulting
experience as well.
3. The Gender Gap is Closing but Still Needs Attention
