Leading
the Way - Specialist Expertise
QBE Thailand is something of a pioneer.
Thailand is a developing market, and as
such is only now being hit by global trends such as increasing
litigation and tightening of consumer business regulations.
"Professional
risk products are relatively new products to QBE Thailand,
so we are a bit of a pioneer here."
Helping to educate the marketplace about
the emerging risks is an important part of the team's focus.
Showing clients how these new risks can be managed with innovative
insurance products in the QBE range is a service that clients
appreciate and staff find rewarding.
"I love the variety
of challenges that come to the Specialist Risks Unit, and
constantly see the added value that flows from the QBE team's
wide experience."
International
Experience & Networks
Members of the Specialist Risks Unit in Thailand have worked
in various QBE operations in Thailand, Singapore and Australia,
which helps gives them a "big picture" view. The
valuable experience they have gained in other markets helps
them deal with the more complex insurance solutions that clients
need.
"As a member of
the Specialist Risks Unit team in Thailand, I'm exposed to
various classes of business, including reinsurance, which
suits me - I like the variety. My experience with QBE around
the world has given me a range of skills and experience, and
I like to be able to use them all for our clients. When their
needs change, we can quickly respond with innovative solutions."
Professional
Development - Local Staff
The specialists at QBE Thailand all agree that the longer
you are in the market, the deeper your understanding of the
market's needs and conditions.
"Besides
experience, you also need to have ongoing training and education.
For example, an underwriter for professional indemnity and
directors & officers liability products must know how
to interpret and understand financial statements. QBE recognises
this and ensures we have access to ongoing training. We're
very keen on this."
