Future Urban Risk Landscapes and the Role of Insurance
The world’s population is growing, and that growth is essentially centred in cities. Though they bring huge economic and social benefits, cities are also exposed to an exponential rise in risks: climate change threatens to bring more extreme weather events; human density accelerates the speed at which infectious diseases spread; and social inequality can exacerbate the risks of social unrest and crime.
How will cities cope with this evolving risk landscape and how can insurers contribute to managing future urban risks? Our new report takes a close look at the dynamics of future urban risk landscapes in an attempt to answer these questions and puts forward a set of recommendations for insurers and public authorities to increase the resilience of urban populations.
This Risk Conversations webinar will elaborate the findings of the report and take a deep look at the implications of upcoming urban risks for the insurance industry.
The event will gather some of the leading experts on this topic to discuss the scope for innovative public-private partnerships and insurance solutions.

Issue 55:
Defining the Workplace Culture
Organizational culture is a key component in the success of any organization, regardless of its size. However, aligning organizational goals, structure, processes, people, and culture is no easy feat, especially when many organizations are going through a digital transformation phase and employees working remotely.
What organizational culture does is that it creates the cohesion between people, jobs, and the workplace through common beliefs, strengthens organizational values and ultimately improves organizational operations. In these challenging times, it is important to remind ourselves to relook at our organization’s culture and how to promote positivity to improve talent acquisition and retention, increase employee engagement and lead to better business performance.
Specially for all our Newsweekly readers, here’s a FREE & FULL article from Issue 55 titled "Investing in the Culture of Ownership" for your reading pleasure!
