Mrs. Abena Osei-Asare commended Activa International Insurance Company for such a great feat.
She charged insurance companies to have complimentary hardware and software to effectively address concerns from the public. Such software must be anchored on people, partnership and technology which must ensure effective communication during sales and claims payment time and also promote professionalism in handling clients.
In terms of partnership, she further stated that insurance companies must join forces to intensify public awareness campaigns and partner with the regulator, the National Insurance Commission to ensure standardization across the sector. Insurance companies must adopt business models to embrace technology for service delivery and also interconnect the traditional ways of doing insurance.
