Bringing Your Skills to the Table

As Thanksgiving approaches, we’re reminded that everyone brings something unique to the table, and that’s true for insurance, too. Whether you’re a planner, a problem-solver, or a protector, there’s a place for your skills in this diverse and rewarding career field. 

The Planner 

Just like the person who makes sure every dish is ready on time, planners in insurance keep operations on track. Roles such as analysts, actuaries, underwriters, and product managers rely on strategy, organization, and foresight to prepare for the future and manage risk. 

The Problem-Solver 

When things don’t go as planned — the turkey burns or a claim comes in — problem-solvers step up. Claims adjusters, investigators, and customer service representatives help people recover and rebuild, turning challenges into opportunities for support. 

The Protector 

Every table needs someone who looks out for others. Agents, brokers, and risk advisors help individuals and organizations protect what matters most — their homes, businesses, and livelihoods. 

The Communicator 

Think of the marketing, communications, and HR professionals as the hosts. They bring people together, share stories, and keep everyone connected. They help customers understand their coverage, guide employees on their benefits, and strengthen relationships built on trust and transparency. 

The Backbone 

Behind the scenes, accounting, finance, and IT professionals make sure the foundation is strong. They balance the books, secure data and systems, and keep everything operating efficiently — the way a sturdy table supports the entire feast. 

Everyone’s Contribution Matters 

Just like every dish adds flavor to the Thanksgiving table, every role in insurance contributes to a bigger purpose: protecting people and organizations, rebuilding communities, and ensuring future stability. 

So, this season, take a moment to appreciate what you bring to the table. If you’re exploring new career paths, consider how your skills could make an impact in risk management and insurance. There’s always room for you at the table!
