Regarding your second question on the priority of investment between leadership development programs and addressing skills gaps, for us, the priority is clear: leadership development. However, it all starts with self-leadership. We believe that managers must first understand their own strengths and areas for improvement, communicate openly with their teams about how they plan to contribute, and develop their teams while acknowledging their own areas for growth. Our investment is consistently geared towards leadership programs that are rooted in self-awareness and personal development.

I’m exploring combining Product Development and Pricing/Underwriting functions into a single leadership role, specifically in the Retirement space. Historically we have kept the roles separate. Does anyone have any experience combining these two job functions into a single role?

I am interested in finding out what benefits other companies are offering to employees once they retire.

Curious how others use AI to identify internal talent for open roles or learning pathways? Particularly looking to learn how to best leverage AI to advance internal talent overall.
