JAKARTA - The Indonesian General Insurance Association (AUI) seeks to improve the quality of human resources (HR) to catch up with other countries through HR Networking 2023 activities.

"OurAUI from the HR (human resources/HR) side is very lagging behind, not in its insurance science but building a strong character," said AAUI Chairman Budi Herawan on the sidelines of HR Networking 2023 activities at the Surakarta Financial Services Authority (OJK) Office, Central Java, quoted from Antara, Saturday 9 December.

Therefore, according to him, this lag must be pursued immediately. He said that after four days of working visits to South Korea, there were still many things that the insurance sector had to do in Indonesia.

"One of them is coaching HR. Printing characteristics that are more responsible and moral. We can continue until 2024," he said.

According to him, this activity is also a gateway to building strong human resources in the insurance world.

On the same occasion, Surakarta OJK Supervision Section 2 Supervisory, Susana Diah Kusumaningrum, said that in the HR financial services sector, it is required to create the ability to adapt by creating services that are easy, cheap, fast, reliable, and consumer-oriented.

Therefore, he said, the financial services sector, including insurance, needs to be supported by competitive human resource capacity and face such a high competition.

According to him, OJK also has a high commitment to oversee the development of human resource capacity in the financial services industry in an integrated and sustainable manner.

"The blue brain of human resource development is a detailed reference framework as a basis for planning the development of human resources. The hope is that later it can be a priority in formulating strategies and preparing the development of human resources programs in every financial services industry, especially in the general insurance industry," he said.

He said that if you look at literacy and financial inclusion surveys in Indonesia in 2022, especially in the insurance sector, the figure is still quite low, namely 31.72 percent and the inclusion rate is 16.63 percent.

"Ini PR apakah kita perlu edukasi atau sebelumnya masyarakat yang sudah trauma dengan asuransi bisa percaya kembali jika kita butuh asuransi sebagai perlindeksi diri," katanya.
