Episode 9 - Millennials in Insurance
Show Notes:
Our book: http://amzn.to/2oqVXwU
Average age of an insurance pro in the US is about 60 years old
The number of insurance pros over 55 has increased by 74% between 2002-2012 compared to 45% in overall workforce (McKinsey & Company Building a Talent Magnet)
There's 80 million Boomers, 60 million Xers and 80 million Millennials. That 25% difference with so few Xers is a huge deal
By 2014 Millennials were already largest generation in the US (Council of Economic Advisers)
By 2025, 3 out of 4 workers will be Millennials (https://www.bdcnetwork.com/workplace-design-trends-make-way-millennials)
Only 4% of Millennials are interested in working in Insurance (The Hartford - A Generation of Leaders)
RMI programs only exist at 70 schools (out of 3,000+) and only feed 10-15% of our new talent needs each year (McKinsey Building a Talent Magnet)
30% more Boomers in insurance than in the overall economy (McKinsey Building a Talent Magnet)
88% of CPCU Members are over 40 years old
Only 41% of Millennials expect to be at their current job in 2 years (Gallup There's no job millennials won't leave)
Since 2015 Millennials are already largest generation in the workforce
Insurance companies expect 25% retirements in the next 4 years (2017 Insurance Industry Employment and Hiring Outlook Survey) some expect it in the next 2 years (2016 Insurance Industry Trends)
Only about 25% of insurance workforce is under 35 years old (Solving the Insurance Industry Talent Crisis by Investing in RMI Graduates - IRMI)
Only 2% of recent grads express an interest in insurance (Accenture - The Insurance Workforce of the Future)
66% of Millennials plan to be at a different company in 3 years (2016 Deloitte Millennial Survey)
Good people, awful structure = crappy managers
