Nice overview of digital life #insurance in @TheActuaryMag. Key takeaways - cust uses digital for research, agent/advisor for purchase. Suggestion that O2O engagement should be made seamless - digital enables offline.

Cust data sharing can be made seamless thru wearables!

"Work patterns are changing - gone are the days of working hard five days a week for four and a half decades before suddenly stopping and retiring 'cold turkey'." Great article and a good reflection on why we need to change.

@HigherEdActuary 

Excellent! And correct. In fact correct! @TheActuaryMag

@sutton_1B

To fellow actuaries on Twitter: can you think of any examples of where Human Rights considerations have needed to come into actuarial advice or work? 

@actuarynews @TheActuaryMag #ESG


@DanSkwire

It's certainly a consideration in insurance regulation - including rules on covered conditions, unfair underwriting practices, and market conduct. And all of these affect the risk and pricing work done by actuaries.
