Description: Discover a comparison of U.S. and international mandated leave programs which mandate employers to provide a minimum level of benefits to employees for qualifying leaves of absence, such as parental leave or medical leave.

Description: Discover the rapidly developing health and wellness industry during the Use of Health and Wellness Data in L&H Risk Assessment webcast. Our discussion includes the maximization of data usage through several different means, including current risk selection, creation of a dynamic ongoing assessment offering or substitution of traditional underwriting information to shorten the underwriting process. Come explore these different approaches as they affect the health and wellness industry. We will express the importance of a constantly changing data usage environment in order to better prepare insurers to maximize their data and drive health and wellness forward.

Description: The topics of ESG (Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance) and sustainability are an increasing area of focus for insurance companies, and thus actuaries. This webcast provides a primer on these topics along with considerations for US valuation actuaries and their evolution in European insurance markets.

Description: What relevance does ESG and Sustainability have for actuaries? In the Life and Health space, we know that large protection gaps persist, reminding us of the challenges reinsurers and insurers face in reaching underserved customers who are often lower-income, less healthy, and more likely to suffer impacts of climate change. The Sustainable Actuary is focused on solving these challenges to make life and health insurance more inclusive. This ImpACTful panel will dive into these challenges and provide practical case studies of more inclusive insurance products that balance considerations for people, the planet, and profit. Listeners will walk away with ideas for how to use their actuarial expertise to enable greater social impact and sustainable business value.

Description: The actuarial profession and our stakeholders in the insurance industry are in a unique position to help quantify and mitigate environmental risks via pricing and benefit incentives. Property insurance prices and benefits can encourage responsible and sustainable development. By developing insurance markets and making various types of insurance available in developing regions, which are disproportionately affected by environmental risks and hazards, we can provide protection that is critical for economic development. In spite of the risks posed by environmental issues to actuaries and our stakeholders, and in spite of the opportunities for actuaries and our stakeholders to address environmental risks, actuarial literature is limited with respect to such topics as: environmental risks, including natural disasters, pollution, clean air and water, degradation of the natural and human environment, resource depletion and sustainability, climate change and its consequences; local, national, regional and global efforts to address environmental risks; methods and models used by the scientific community to study environmental risks; methods and assumptions used to quantify the economic or financial risk associated with environmental hazards. This webcast will feature three of the papers addressing these topics that have been published so far in this series of twelve papers. The authors of the papers will present their topics and attendees will be able to participate with questions and answers.
