About The Event
NAMIC’s Human Resources Summit was launched in 2021 and is designed to connect human resources professionals from property/casualty insurance companies with the information, resources, and peer-to-peer feedback they need to effectively manage people-related operations in the insurance industry. The agenda delves into the operational, legal, and logistical challenges facing insurance company HR professionals.
The information shared was invaluable! Being able to network with other HR professionals in the insurance industry and learning about their best business practices was definitely the highlight of the Summit. I look forward to attending the next one!
