Behind the breakneck progress of society, there is one constant — the insurance industry — providing the backbone of security and reassurance required to take on the changing needs and challenges of the future. The insurance sector serves to concentrate the risk inherent to progress.

But it’s no secret that the insurance sector has had difficulty bringing in enough young professionals to carry the industry into this future where its services will be indispensable. Of all the challenges the insurance industry faces, one of the greatest is finding and keeping qualified personnel. Therefore, some attention to neurodiversity in the insurance industry is warranted.

The Hiring and Retention Crisis in the Insurance Industry

The challenge of hiring and retaining quality professionals in the insurance sector is not new. It had been a problem long before the Great Resignation led people to quit their jobs in droves.

In 2012, the Griffith Insurance Education Foundation studied the Millennial generation’s attitudes about the kinds of work they were drawn to. They were particularly interested in how the insurance industry fit into their views as a potential career option.
