Description: The Great Resignation of the Post-COVID-19 era has affected nearly every major industry and profession over the past year. The actuarial profession, which has historically been a beacon of stability,is also impacted. Actuaries are leaving their positions at higher rates than ever before, demanding increased pay and benefits, more flexible hours, and the ability to work remotely. Ever-increasing demand for actuaries due to constantly evolving regulatory and business needs has widened the gap between the demand for and supply of actuarial work. What innovations are available for actuarial employers looking to bridge this gap? Get ready to listen to a panel of specialists on actuarial staffing models. The panel will discuss direct hiring, staff augmentation with consultants, independent contracting, and offshoring / outsourcing.
