Key Strategies for Continuing Professional Development for Insurance Data Professionals

The workplace can be an intense and competitive learning environment. In an era when many data professionals are working remotely and assigned to virtual teams, it can be difficult to determine what is the optimal approach for professional development. So, if a data professional wants to protect and enhance their employability in this virtual working world, it is essential that they take charge of their professional development.

This panel will explore some of the current topics in professional development for insurance data professionals, in a virtually working situation.  The topics will range from formal education, through industry certifications, through more informal activities such as professional organization participation and self-study.  Panelists are drawn from experts in each field (education, certification, career/talent development, etc.) and will be moderated by an insurance data management thought leader and educator.  The audience will be able to participate in the webinar through posing questions to the panelists.  

The session will provide insights and answer questions related to the following topics: 

• Facing the challenges of professional development and continuing education in a virtual working environment
• Will the need for professional development and continuing education increase or decrease as a result of these social distancing restrictions
• How to enhance performance through formal education and certification
• How to continue personal professional development while working remotely
• “Soft skills” and their essential role in professional development, especially when working remotely
• Additional, different routes to continuing professional development (professional organizations, mentoring, presentations, etc.)
