Did you know?Only 41% of consumerstrust insurance companiesDoes Your Onboarding Have What It Takes To BuildA Better Culture?Insurance is the least trusted industry according to the new SAI Global Consumer TrustIndex. Only 41% of consumers participating in the survey indicated that they trust insurancecompanies.It’s no secret that insurance is a grudge purchase (I mean who ever heard of anyonewhipping out their new Product Disclosure Statement and saying “oh man, you’ve got toread this, it’s awesome!”) It is also true that the real value of insurance is only ever realisedduring the most trying of circumstances in people’s lives. But when you consider that manyconsumers are putting their home, investments, vehicles, pets, personal health and thelonger term welfare of their loved ones squarely into the hands of an industry they say theydon’t trust - these survey figures are pretty alarming.Insurance sector still plagued by scandal and misconductThough it is one of the most highly regulated industries, scandals and misconduct involvinginsurers continue to occupy the headlines and social media. As recently as January thisyear a number of general insurers were ordered by the Australian Securities InvestmentCommission (ASIC) to repay around 120 million in customer premiums. The watchdogfound that misleading sales tactics led to customers purchasing products that they eitherdidn’t need or would never be eligible to use.

Whilst in this instance the insurance was being on-sold through authorised representative cardealers, the takeaway message to all insurers is the same : You are responsible for the conductof anyone representing your business - be they employees or agents - and you will be heldaccountable.Poor culture as a driver of misconductIn a 2015 speech, the ASIC Commissioner described culture as a key driver of conductwithin the insurance industry. He defined culture as a set of shared values or assumptionsthat reflects the underlying mindset of an organisation and shapes how staff and otherrepresentatives think and behave. He defined a positive culture as one where people are ‘doingthe right thing’ and ensuring ‘good outcomes for customers’.Misconduct can occur when there is a lack of clarity around culture. Without clarity, behaviourcan become inconsistent leading to a situation where one bad apple really can spoil the reputationof the whole barrel.ASIC maintains that effective training is key to a positive culture.How effective Onboarding supports a positive cultureIf insurers genuinely want to build trust with consumers and develop reputations for dealingethically with their customers, their onboarding programs must journey new staff andrepresentatives into the heart of their culture.83% of consumers rate areputation for ethical behaviour1as vital for securing trust

You can tell a lot about a corporate culture from strategic elements like vision, mission, valuesand purpose, business process and systems, and policies and rules. But what is most telling(but most often left out of traditional inductions) are the subtle things like how co-workerscommunicate, how they celebrate success, how individuals go the extra mile for customers, andhow staff respond and rally when a crisis hits.Best practice Onboarding in the Insurance industryOnboarding in the Insurance sector has moved beyond the traditional inductions (see ourarticle Onboarding, Turning the Tables on the Traditional Induction) to a more engaging andpositive experience. Unlike traditional orientations and inductions, onboarding supportsnew hires with a range of activities and interactions to ensure they: master key skills; meetperformance expectations; establish goals for the future; understand their compliancerequirements; identify and adapt to the culture; and, are building relationships and fitting inand working well with their colleagues and business partners.Onboarding is a powerful tool for driving cultural change.
