| |
Tools for Your Agency At Any Stage
Whether you're just starting your new independent agency or have been in business for many years the PIA Blueprint for Agency Success contains tools to your continued success.
The Blueprint is divided into three guides to help you navigate the different stages of your business:
- The Business Planning Guide addresses insurance agency start-up considerations from formation of the business entity to insurance licensing to budgeting and finance to branding.
- The Growth Strategy Guide covers agency automation and technology considerations, human resources, sales and marketing, and operational policies, procedures, and workflows.
- The Agency Continuity Guide provides business continuity planning and leadership development advice as well as a change management framework.
Growth Strategy Guide
In this week's segment of the PIA Blueprint for Agency Success - Growth Strategy Guide, PIA broaches the subject of Human Resource Fundamentals.
Employee compensation typically represents the largest single expense in an agency. To maximize the value and improve the return on investment in the human resources in your agency, you must implement tools and techniques that support effective recruiting, hiring, training, and managing your employees. We know it's hard work!
In this section, agents are encouraged to start with your vision which translates to your agency culture. Then, as pare of your business growth strategy you will need to define the roles and responsibilities you need to hire for. Use hte ideas and resources contained in this section to build the human component of your business strategy.
Your assignment is to access the Winning@Talent program by PIA and The PIA Partnership. PIA has created a checklist to help you track your progress in reviewing the three toolkits that mek up this program: Getting Ready to Recruit; Sourcing, Recruiting and Hiring; and Retaining Your Best Employees.
Whether you are just getting started, or have a well-established firm, reviewing Human Resource Fundamentals regularly will enhance and accelerate your agency's growth.
The PIA Blueprint for Agency Success program is delivered every Tuesday to PIA members for ten weeks beginning January 5, 2021. If you are eager to see all of the guides, you can review the sections in order on the website, or feel free to jump ahead to the content you need.
