National and State Insurance Associations

Many state associations have created resource pages on their website that provide national and state-specific information. Many times there are state-specific requirements or limitations your organization should make sure you are following. Here are a couple of state sites:

Technology Resources

You likely have received quite a bit of information about the tools and mindsets necessary to work from home. Here are a few more you might have missed.

Vertafore Insurance Podcast

Vertafore recently released a special edition of their podcast. While we are all trying to settle into our new normal, Laura Nettles, CEO of Nettles Consulting, discusses the things you can be doing in this new environment to maintain the customer relationships you value so much.

RPost

RPost CEO recently announced a free Work-from-Home Rapid Readiness Program, which provides an e-signature, email security, and file sharing toolkit with a quick RSign and RMail install.

“Even though RSign and RMail are highly affordable, we believe making these free for people everywhere in light of the pandemic to simplify life for IT and procurement staff, as they can put e-signature and email security services in the hands of all end-users now and optimize later,” stated RPost CEO Zafar Khan.

With a 2-minute install into Microsoft Outlook or Gmail, or using RMail or RSign web apps, everyone is automatically enabled for RSign and RMail business licenses at no cost; and, no credit card or telephone discussions needed.

LinkedIn Learning

The LinkedIn Learning platform is a great place to improve your skills. They have recognized that you likely have employees who are or will be working remotely to help contain and mitigate the spread of the virus. Different organizations are at different stages with remote work, but few of us have done it at the current scale. To help support you and your workforce adapting and ideally thriving, LinkedIn Learning has opened up a number of courses that focus on being productive while working from home, including tips on using virtual meeting tools to build relationships in a new working environment. They are now available for free.
