In an article published by Insurance Business Canada, CNA’s Louis Vatrt and Terri Mason-Benjamin discuss the need to focus on attracting and cultivating fresh talent amidst a talent drought in the insurance realm.

Whether an insured is a real estate investor wrangling with water damage, or an oil and gas company facing cyber pressures and environmental activism, one challenge – namely, talent – has proved near universal with the insurance industry also feeling the impact.

“Talent is a big talking point, probably for all groups – in fact, it doesn’t matter who you’re talking to here, whether it’s someone that does engineering supply, a broker, an insured – it’s a hard market for talent right now with a lot of internal movement coming out of the pandemic,” said CNA Canada vice president, engineered property Louis Vatrt (pictured right), who sat down with Insurance Business along with Terri Mason-Benjamin (pictured left), CNA Canada vice president, marketing & distribution, at RIMS Canada 2023.
