While insurance companies appear to be more conservative in their plans to add staff than they were six months ago, a new study shows that more than 39% of companies plan to increase staff in the next 12 months, with only 15% planning to trim their workforces in the same period.

The figures from the most recent Jacobson Group and Ward Group “Insurance Labor Market Study” compare with 44% of those surveyed in January indicating that they expected to increase employees and 13% indicating that they expected to decrease employees.

The figures still show improvement in hiring expectations over results from the July 2009 survey, when only 35% of companies expected to add employees and 21% expected to reduce staff in the 12 months ahead.

“To me, the great thing about this survey…is now we’re being able to see some trends in terms of how people are anticipating revenue growth and how that translates into hiring staff,” said Greg Jacobson, co-CEO of the Jacobson Group in Chicago.

By Madison Pittmann on 26-08-2010

A recent article put out by CNN suggests that a trend amongst newly married couples is to spend their honeymoon on volunteering missions.

“X” the “Text”

By Zane Fielder on 25-08-2010

Texting while driving. For fleet owners, a zero-tolerance policy is the best way to educate company drivers on the dangers of this activity.

How dangerous is texting while driving?

An article out of Salt Lake’s Deseret News last Friday follows a test conducted by Allstate last Thursday at the company’s sponsored Family Driving Challenge. An instructor from Allstate would ask questions to drivers over a cell phone. Simple math questions, for example. Within three seconds the drivers were hitting cones on an obstacle course.
