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. The panel will explain how employers might pursue these options as well as the costs and benefits of each. Learn more about how current employees can benefit from various staffing models while avoiding common pitfalls; for example, how to engage and work effectively with offshore resources.

Description: As actuaries, we learn many facts and techniques and we develop many skills that enable us as professionals. In this session, we'll explore the art of skill development itself, and how to get good, at getting great, at literally anything, in record time. Malcolm Gladwell suggested we need 10,000 hours to become extraordinary in a skill. In this session we'll talk about the shortcut that allows any human to gain new skills to the level of 'world-class' in as little as 108 days, in effect, becoming so good at something that we become 'unrecognizable to ourselves, in all the best ways'. Learning outcomes include: 1. Learn the art of Perfect Practice: how to level up any skill faster than anyone else, using decades of research from BRATLAB and the science of performance into how to create skills and habits. 2. Explore why 'trying harder' is a recipe for stagnation and what it means to 'try different' 3. Leave with insights into the 'Magic Eight' receipt for rapid skill development and how that can transform your career and your life.

Description: At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be equipped to apply relative risk curves in their actuarial work, including the ability to examine dose-response relationships, apply population attributable fractions (PAFs), and develop customized risk models for cause-specific mortality and morbidity outcomes based on individual-level exposures to selected risk factors. These skills are becoming increasingly important as actuaries adopt novel applications of big data and dynamic health information to refine risk assessments and keep pace with global health trends.
