Smart professionals should network with Marsh’s new teams to understand emerging underwriting criteria. Consider courses in risk management or safety standards to future-proof your career. This is not just about insurance; it is about operational resilience. Those who can bridge the gap between site operations and risk strategy will become indispensable.
