Signal Allianz expects two-thirds of the skills it needs to be different within five years

Summary

Allianz's chief people and culture officer offers a stark estimate of how quickly skill requirements are shifting. She expects that within five years roughly two-thirds of the skills the insurer needs will be entirely different from today's. She stresses that five years is effectively tomorrow, so planning must start now. The company responds through strategic workforce planning that asks which profiles it will need and which business segments AI will overturn. She adds that even for actuaries, finance staff, and her own function, the profiles being hired now differ sharply from a few years ago, and hiring on past qualifications will not meet future needs.
