Dealing with Stress in Claims

I truly believe that a career in Claims is so fulfilling on so many levels.  But stress seems to be a major part of what we do.

How can it not be?

We deal with people when the worst has happened to them.  And we’re there to help them.

That’s a lot of pressure.

We need a way to deal with and relieve that stress.

So let’s talk about a couple of things we can do at the desk level to help.  But we also have to look to Claims leadership to help as well.

This is an awfully difficult topic, so I don’t want this to be about my thoughts in this week’s episode of The Insurance Nerdery.

I want to hear from you!
