How to Avoid Claim-Related Complaints
It will come as no surprise to learn that the vast majority of complaints stem from the handling of claims submitted to insurers. The claim is the “moment of truth” in the contract where the customer learns whether the premium paid over potentially a long period, has been well-spent.
Whilst it is imperative to have a prompt resource and efficient process to deal with complaints, this workshop focuses upon proactively reducing their number through retaining the initiative whilst moving a claim towards fulfilment.

Directors & Officers Insurance in a Nutshell
The webinar will explain the history of D&O and how the D&O marketplace is changing dramatically due to the economy. The sad fact is that many businesses will struggle badly over the next few years and lots of redundancies will have to be made. This will result in a sharp spike in both Directors and Officers and Employment Liability Practices claims. It should also be noted that many more directors are being sued in recent times individually and that the amount of HSE prosecutions have trebled against individual directors since 2015.
