Fundamentals of Adjusting
In-depth training for new or inexperienced claims handlers which incorporates industry best practices as well as your organization’s own claims handling guidelines.
The biggest obstacle facing claims handling organizations in today’s environment is staffing. Companies struggle to find qualified individuals to fill the role of claims handlers and many times need to resort to finding someone with limited or no experience. This has given claims operations two choices, utilize the claims manager to train the new employee (taking time away from their other duties) or having the new employee take a self-study or designation course (which usually take 9-12 months to complete).
