By GlobalDataPatrick Brusnahan, editor of Life Insurance International, said: “The awards this year have shown a clear dedication from the insurance industry to improve itself. Digital has made a huge impact this year, with AI and big data utilised in many of the winning nominations. Firms embracing change have been rewarded with greater customer engagement, improved annual results, and more.”
He commented: “Not only have multiple firms improved their digital offerings, but offerings elsewhere in terms of culture. This can be clearly seen in our winner of The Diversity Award, Zurich, and our Personality of the Year. Both of these showed the importance of diversity and inclusion and how it has actually helped the firms and are a credit to the industry.”
