Project Brief

Our client, a prominent General Insurance company, sought to enhance the managerial capabilities of their First-Level Managers (FLMs). These managers, distributed across various locations, play a pivotal role in driving productivity and employee retention. However, traditional training methods were failing to deliver the desired results, leaving a critical gap in leadership development at this level.

Our Approach

To address the client’s unique challenges, Think Talent designed and implemented a comprehensive development program tailored specifically for FLMs in the insurance industry.

1

Contextualized Learning:

A curriculum was developed to reflect the real-world challenges faced by FLMs in the insurance sector. Case studies and examples ensured practical and engaging learning experiences.

2

Blended Learning Approach:

We adopted a hybrid model to balance flexibility and impact, combining virtual and in-person elements:

  • Virtual Workshops:
    Focused sessions on essential managerial skills, including effective communication, leadership, and problem-solving.
  • Small-Group Coaching:
    Personalized coaching sessions to address individual growth areas and provide ongoing guidance.

     

  • Peer-to-Peer Learning:
    Collaborative forums allowed FLMs to exchange experiences, best practices, and solutions to shared challenges.
  • Facilitated Conversations:
    Expert-led discussions encouraged participants to apply learned concepts to their daily work scenarios.
