Professional Standards and the Insurance Profession
In this joint BILA and IIL lecture Melissa Collett talked about the meaning of professionalism, ethics and duty of care in the context of insurance, and how to put professionalism into practice. She also explained the professional body's role in raising standards of professionalism across the insurance sector.
Professionalism is vital to building public trust in insurance. Professionalism is not just about following regulator's rules and regulations. It's about creating the right culture and ethical standards. Breaking down professionalism into three key elements: competence, ethics and duty of care, can help put professionalism into practice. The Chartered Insurance Institute is here to help insurance professionals on their journey.
By the end of this lecture members would have gained an insight into:
- The three key elements of professionalism for insurance professionals
- How to put professionalism into practice
- The professional body's role in raising standards across the sector
