Employer Practices
Course Description:
The impact of “Employer Practices” for the insurance industry has become increasingly subject to legal constraints. An expanding series of laws regulate almost every facet of the employer-employee relationship. The laws deal with employee recruitment, testing, wages, benefits, nondiscrimination, occupational safety and health, workers’ compensation, wrongful discharge, unemployment insurance, pensions and other matters. Employers in the insurance industry must have knowledge of the law to avoid pitfalls. Employees in the insurance industry must also have knowledge of the law so they can defend themselves when employers act illegally or when they feel their rights have been violated.
Legal & Moral Issues in the Insurance Industry
Course Description:
Our industry is being besieged by matters of compliance. This is especially true in the areas of life insurance and securities. Some may privately express the view that compliance is an impediment to doing business and doing it successfully. But isn’t the question really: should short-term gains take priority over long-term client relationships? At first sight, it seems that career agents for the major companies are most affected by strict compliance regulations. While, independent insurance agents and those not closely associated with a major insurer are untouched by compliance requirements.

Business Writing
Course Description:
Writing is an important part of business – any business! Your writing style identifies who you are and what you know. It is an essential part of the way we communicate and share ideas and information. It’s very easy to have a conversation with someone, but it can be much more difficult to try and put the information in writing. We suddenly become intimidated and feel that our writing does not sound very intelligent. We worry about mistakes, such as grammar or incorrect spelling. We often try to make our writing sound so much bigger than the way we actually speak.
