Top 5 Core Values for Insurers to Ensure Digital Readiness & Provide Superior CX

Insurers have been largely viewed as saviors and have placed themselves as crisis managers. The COVID-19 crisis pandemic has affected millions globally, and insurers, insurtech and insurer aggregators are fast realizing the importance of investments towards digital readiness & transformation to support burgeoning demand.

Undoubtedly, insurance acts as a safeguard for an anxious and uncertain future. Although, it is not the answer to every question being posed these days, but it sure can protect against many of the related financial shocks. Whether it is travel insurance, business interruption insurance, hospital indemnity, health & life insurance cover or other worker's compensation; they all cover some sort of protection and provide timely relief.
