Shin Research: Exploring Talent and Leadership Trends

The Shin Research Program, underwritten from the generous support from Kyobo Life Insurance Company, is designed to stimulate original, theoretical research on practical issues in the insurance industry. For over three decades, the program has partnered with the International Insurance Society (IIS) to cultivate in-depth research on topics like regulation, microinsurance, genomics, cyber, resilience, and more. Conversations with industry executives and feedback from IIS’s annual Global Priorities Survey have highlighted the need for more research into talent and leadership trends. In 2023, the Shin Research Program has begun a long-term initiative focused on deepening our understanding of these trends. The objective of this first report is to gather the perspectives of senior human resource leaders on how the industry can address its talent gap.
