Career in insurance: Diverse, flexible and attractive - An interview with UNIQA board member Peter Humer

According to a report by courier.at,
In a recent interview with UNIQA's Customer & Market Austrian Director, Peter Humer, the question was raised as to whether a career with an insurance company is really dusty and boring. Humer rejected these prejudices and emphasized the diversity and flexibility of sales careers and the importance of trust in customer service.

Working in the insurance industry offers a lot of opportunities and variety, especially in sales. At UNIQA, emphasis is placed on active participation, and the sales employees accompany customers on the way to better protection and provision. These personal relationships of trust are an important part of the job, especially in a highly digitalized world.

UNIQA is currently focusing on attracting talent for insurance sales through an employer branding campaign that highlights the dynamic and diverse nature of the work. Flexible working models and attractive earning opportunities are offered, which are particularly interesting for young talents.

In addition, UNIQA places a particular focus on the training and further education of sales employees. In addition to training on soft skill topics and specialist knowledge, apprenticeships to become an insurance agent are also offered.

Regionality also plays an important role in the search for talent, as UNIQA meets customers close to home and sees close local ties as the key to success.

Interested parties from other industries are also welcome, as UNIQA offers comprehensive training and onboarding programs to support new sales staff. Flexible working, a new way of working approach and an employee culture that aims to ensure satisfaction and attractiveness as an employer make UNIQA a modern and attractive employer.

These initiatives and programs have the potential to dynamize the insurance market and increase the industry's attractiveness as an employer. Young talents could show increased interest in a career in insurance sales, which could lead to a strengthening of sales power and a positive development of the market in the long term.
