C.L. CONTRIBUTOR INTERVIEW CÉLINE LOUVET Head of People Development, Talent, and Change Management WHY SHOULD YOUNG PROFESSIONALS CONSIDER A CAREER IN THE REINSURANCE INDUSTRY? C.L. Reinsurance has never been so dynamic. The industry is adapting to new risks, opportunities, and customer expectations while also redefining itself through digital transformation, leveraging advanced analytics, big data, and AI. And this is happening at a time when, more than ever before, the industry is playing a crucial role in providing prevention and protection solutions for some of the biggest challenges facing societies today, ranging from climate change and renewable energies to cyber attacks, pandemics, mental health, and more. WHAT IS SCOR DOING TO MAKE THE INDUSTRY MORE ATTRACTIVE TO CANDIDATES? C.L. The (re)insurance industry promises a diversity of career paths where employees can hone their expertise, innovate, and have a real impact on the resilience and security of societies. Unfortunately, many potential applicants don’t see this side of the industry, so in September 2024, we launched SCOR’s new career blog (scor.com/careers-blog) to showcase some of the opportunities that can be found in the industry and at SCOR. We also tackled this question in a SCOR Live Session titled “Future-Proofing (Re)insurance: The Trends, Skills, and Talent of Tomorrow” this past July. The replay of the LinkedIn live event is available on SCOR’s LinkedIn page for anyone interested in learning more. ASIDE FROM TECHNICAL PROFILES, WHAT SKILLS OR PROFILES IS SCOR LOOKING FOR? C.L. Soft skills are more important than ever as our teams work in an increasingly interconnected and international context. We need people who not only have the technical expertise and skills to understand the data and design solutions but who can then use it to tell a clear and compelling story about our vision, solutions, and impact. GLOBAL JOB GRADING Two years ago, SCOR embarked on a significant Global Job Grading project. By assigning grades to each position, employees can better understand their role and expected contribution within SCOR, fostering transparency around the Group’s structure. The system aims to enhance cross-functional career opportunities and encourage internal mobility by helping employees plan for their career progression. It also enables our teams to better anticipate their future workforce and talent needs and supports effective succession planning. . “The (re)insurance industry promises a diversity of career paths where employees can hone their expertise, innovate, and have a real impact.” TRANSFORMING TOMORROW WITH OUR VISION 55
