“It was a pleasure to be involved in the Leader in Action program 和 support young people interested in entering our industry,维尔马说. “Our workforce is on the brink of a talent crisis as a generation begins to retire, 和 it is critical that we attract young, innovative leaders to insurance.” This is precisely the goal of the IRM program, which provides students with a broad underst和ing of the role of companies that bear the risk of insuring both public 和 private interests.

Dean Daugherty believes strongly in the value of the program. “We are involved in a number of efforts to help boost awareness 和 participation in the IRM program,” he explained. “We participate in high school career fairs 和 offer scholarships to attract students to the program. Once they begin their studies, we create travel, networking 和 professional 发展 opportunities that give the students an edge as they enter the workforce.”

Verma added, "Crawford is committed to developing expertise that is deep 和 eminent. And given the anticipated increase in shortfall of talent, it is critical we start industry engagement right at the source of new talent--schools 和 colleges, hence my continued engagement with talent attraction, 发展, retention 和 growth!"
