Solve real problems

Joe had a problem“ It became evident to me that a broad

swath of our colleague base did not understand earnings, and all that goes with that… Many client-facing employees don’t sufficiently grasp how insurance products and risk-management services affect clients’ own financial performance.”

Make your business leader the star

Joe gets covered in CFO magazine“The social-media approach and the content delivery by company executives may

make Marsh’s educational initiative superior to those of other firms, suggests professor

Jonathan Schiff. ‘From an efficiency standpoint, getting education out to thousands of people

can be done using social media at a modest cost,’ he says. ‘Many companies should emulate what Marsh has done.’

While efforts to give rank-and-file employees financial literacy aren’t uncommon in the

financial-services sector, they’re much less prevalent elsewhere, Schiff observes. But even

where such offerings exist, they are often of low quality, he adds. ‘Using internal people to convey the message is a big plus,’ he says.

‘Marsh is taking a good position by not offering a check-the-box course provided

by an outside vendor that doesn’t understand the company’s business.’”
