Burnout and insurance companies?

Help your employees gain their full potential and avoid burnouts

1 employee in 5 considers her/himself to be tired or lacking energy. Most employees also report a high level of tiredness after lunch.

What if we could offer your employees to have a high level of energy the whole day long?

The general lack of energy as well as the post-lunch fatigue represent a substantial loss of productivity for companies and stress for employees.

This online module will guide employees through a quick analysis of their present situation, their needs and will give a first assessment of their present level of fitness as well as solutions easily implementable within minutes and measure quickly the result: more energy and more productivity. According to NASA, some strategies can improve by up to 35% employees’ reactivity and productivity in the afternoon.

(Only available in French for now. English, German, Spanish, Italian roll-out scheduled for 2020)

Stéphane Tétart, naturopath, is the author of several books about health and well-being, including “Stop the fatigue” and the best-seller “Secrets of naturopaths”. He has helped people regain their full potential and productivity at work for more than 10 years after experiencing a burnout himself.

Entrepreneurship course

Avila Space’s Entrepreneurship course!

Avila Spaces and INGAGE partnered up to create this course specially designed for people in insurance companies and other industries to boost their entrepreneurial spirit.

The course aims to directly reply to simple and/or complex questions that Entrepreneurs live on a daily basis independently of success or failure. The entrepreneurial spirit and the constant decisions around financial and economical risk or the possibility of investing in new ventures were some of the essential drivers for building this course.

This course is designed to help students to evaluate the business skills and commitment necessary to successfully operate an entrepreneurial venture and review the challenges and rewards of entrepreneurship.

Digitization

Startups

Many of the startups we have seen around the world in the past years digitize most of their processes in order to be lean and effective.

As a young company, INGAGE has made the choice from the very first days to make full use of digitization (virtual teams, video conferencing, digital processes, paperless) while keeping the human factor in the center of our team.

You can read more about this on our blog.

Conducting workshops, virtually

Do you lead workshops, train people in companies?

Most large companies nowadays use online cooperation tools. Video conferences are now part of our daily lives. They also have LMSs (e-Learning Management Systems) to train their employees online.

However, many individual trainers and smaller companies still lead workshops in physical meetings rooms, thus being unable to train people across regions. There are many tools for online collaboration, for video conferencing, but the trick is to combine them effectively in order to train people online in an engaging way. You can use Skype or Skype for Business, to talk, see each other and share your screen. You can also use Webex or Zoom, which enables participants to hand over the control of their own computer to a distant participant. The technology is there.

The challenge though comes when there are several people in the meeting room and participants scattered around the world via video conferences. One trick we found useful (for our own team) is to have everybody participate via their own computer with their own webcam. Even the people who are together in a same meeting room in a same location! Thus, there is no effect of a group vs. individuals. Everybody is on the same foot. Everybody can see clearly the other participants, as individuals.

Coaching is good, actually required!

Success

As a young company, we are convinced that coaching is not only good but actually absolutely necessary to succeed.

One of our very first steps was to constitute a Board of Advisors. This helped us tremendously!

Without them, we would not be where we are now.

Thanks to our great coach Urs!

Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity Insurance

Have you considered your exposure to cyber risks?

“Cybersecurity insurance is designed to mitigate losses from a variety of cyber incidents, including data breaches, business interruption, and network damage. A robust cybersecurity insurance market could help reduce the number of successful cyber attacks by: (1) promoting the adoption of preventative measures in return for more coverage; and (2) encouraging the implementation of best practices by basing premiums on an insured’s level of self-protection. Many companies forego available policies, however, citing as rationales the perceived high cost of those policies, confusion about what they cover, and uncertainty that their organizations will suffer a cyber attack. In recent years, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has engaged key stakeholders to address this emerging cyber risk area.”
