This year, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Los Angeles Rams will meet at the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California to compete for the ultimate football victory. While the players on the field and a love of the game are what attracts the crowds, insurance is one of the many moving parts that keep the game running smoothly - both in the stadium and on TV. Here are some insurance facts about the Big Game you might not have known:

With catastrophe season looming, it’s time to start strategizing your talent plan for both the expected and unexpected events this year will bring. Last year saw record-setting tropical storms and wildfires. While tornado activity was below average in 2020, 2021 is predicted to have above average activity, due to La Niña. No matter what this year’s CAT season has in store, having a strategic talent plan in place is undoubtedly key to ensuring your policyholders are best taken care of in their times of need.

As we continue through CAT season in the midst of a global pandemic, being prepared for the unknown is more important than ever. In order to best accommodate unforeseen circumstances and increased workloads, claims departments are leveraging hybrid teams that include a variety of employment types, including full-time and part-time employees, as well as interim resources. However, for these teams to be truly effective, insurers must understand how to best manage their blended teams.

No longer just an ominous warning for the future, the long-predicted war for talent is here. The insurance industry—in particular—has been hard hit by the emerging talent crunch and insurers are now faced with more openings than potential professionals. The result is a candidate’s market.

The chips and dip are plated, the big screen is fired up and the chili is ready to go. You may think you’re all set for the big game, but are you missing something critical?
