KEY THEMES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Economic outlook and the Zambian\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>
\ninsurance landscape<\/span><\/p>\n

They say no man is an island, and it is true of any
\nindustry. The wider macroeconomic environment has
\nan impact on the performance of the insurance sector,
\nand we must beware of current economic trends and
\nexpert forecasts of where we are likely to be in the near
\nfuture. The first two session will provide us with timely
\ninformation on the overall social and economic climate,
\nas well as information on legislation and industry
\nsupervision.<\/p>\n

2. Effective Corporate Leadership<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaders are tasked with taking the financial and human
\nresource of an organisation and steering them towards
\nfulfilling a goal. This takes a keen awareness of the
\nmacro-economic environment, customer interests
\nand team competences so that the organisation can
\nbe steered away from dead-ends and unnecessary
\nobstacles, to arrive at success. Leadership is about a
\npositive influence and ongoing mentorship. The daily
\ntasks carried out by an organisation, and the effort
\nexerted by personnel, can effectively serve the corporate
\nstrategy through the power of assertive leadership. The
\nleader must\u00a0remain motivated to continue to achieve
\nthese goals.<\/p>\n

3. Public and private medical schemes<\/span><\/p>\n

Medical schemes are necessary to ensure that citizens
\nget timely treatment when in need. When employees
\nreceive timely treatment, less productive time will be
\nlost due to longer recovery periods or traveling to seek
\ntreatment in distant places. These discussions will look
\nat the public and private health schemes, and how they
\ncan complement each other to better serve the general
\npublic. They will also tackle the common challenges
\nfaced by schemes and how to resolve them.<\/p>\n

4. Mental health<\/span><\/p>\n

In managing our human resource we need to be aware
\nof mental health challenges. It is important to sharpen
\nour ability to understand and evaluate behavioural
\nchallenges, for the wellbeing of those under our
\nleadership, and to get the best out of our employees.<\/p>\n

We must not underestimate the importance of this
\nmatter for our day to day operations. It also helps us
\nto map out a strategy to deal with the pressures that
\ncome from the corporate world, as well as those we
\nmay bring from our social circles and homes.<\/p>\n

5. Recovering from the economic impact of<\/span>
\nCOVID-19<\/span><\/p>\n

The buzzword nowadays is the \u201cnew normal\u201d. Every
\naspect of society has been impacted by the COVID-19
\npandemic, and indications are that it will take two
\nyears for the pandemic to be over. We must create long
\nterm strategies to not only survive but thrive during
\nthese trying times. We can learn a lot from how other
\neconomies are coping.<\/p>\n

6. Arbitration, litigation and liability risks in<\/span>
\nthe insurance sector<\/span><\/p>\n

Insurers are no strangers to disputes over property
\nvaluation, claims and interpretation of terms and
\nconditions. We stand to benefit from simplifying
\ndispute resolution processes, and using arbitration
\nrather that litigation to resolve any impasse. While it is
\nimpossible to avoid disputes completely, there are ways
\nwe can minimise the risks of such disputes, and thereby
\nenhance our reputation as service providers, and build
\npublic confidence in the insurance sector as a whole.<\/p>\n
