Insurance Issues With The Remote Workforce
2 hrs. P&C

If insuring the huge amount of Home-Based businesses that start each year was not hard enough, COVID-19 has added to this trend.  Businesses today are utilizing employees working from home to increase efficiency as well as reduce overall costs.  With technology improving and management styles changing I think this movement is here to stay.  This course will address both sides of this insurance quagmire.  We will look at the coverages provided by the Homeowners Policy, or I should say the lack of coverage provided as well as some coverage concerns the business may want to give some thought. 

Organizational Culture – The Solution for Creating an Ethical and Productive Agency
3 hrs. Ethics

Most ethics courses are reactive rather than proactive.  This course attacks the ethical discussion with a unique twist.  Create an organization through culture, hiring practices and teamwork greatly reduce the likelihood that an ethical breech will occur.  Buckle up, this will be a little different than most courses you will ever attend, but may just leave your agency not only ethical, but more productive than ever.

Commercial Insurance Issues That Cause Heartburn
3 hrs. P&C

To say the market is changing is an understatement.  We are going to be (if not already) forced to deal with many of these trends.  This course starts with the changing market place and all of the pressures we will face in the coming year(s).  We will then shift gears to actual claims and coverage issues that have been creating a little heartburn for agents.  Come along and enjoy perhaps one of the more cutting-edge courses of the year.
