Mental health awareness has been on the rise in recent years -- and with good reason. According to the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), mental illnesses are the leading cause of disability in Western countries, representing 30% to 40% of long-term sick leaves in Europe. In SCOR's most recent Expert Views article, we discuss one of the most effective and least invasive ways to promote mental health -- increasing physical activity -- and how behavioral science can offer one avenue for insurers to support policyholders' efforts toward overall wellbeing. Find the full article here: https://bit.ly/3XhSm81 Over the last 200 years, the prioritization of mental health has changed drastically. As an essential factor in our overall physical health, individuals are encouraged to maintain healthy mental well-being. Yet, with millions of people worldwide experiencing a mental health disorder, it is our responsibility to address this issue. In our latest Expert View Article, we incorporate behavioral science-based approaches to explain how physical activity can serve as an effective and non-invasive solution to mental health disorders. Understand why insurers should encourage policyholders to be physical activity to potentially reduce the frequency of mental health-related claims.

Combining the Art and Science of Risk to protect societies
À propos
SCOR, one of the world's largest reinsurers, provides its clients with a diversified and innovative range of solutions to control and manage risk. Using its experience and expertise, “The Art & Science of Risk”, SCOR provides cutting-edge financial solutions, analytics tools and services in all areas related to risk – in Life & Health as well as in P&C. The reinsurance industry is about combining technical expertise and experience with the developments of science. However many tools we use to conduct our activities (models, databases, pricing tools, reserving tools, and so on), we also need expert judgments and human experience to correctly underwrite. This is what we call the art of underwriting. Reinsurance is a knowledge industry. Expertise is an accumulation variable. The most advanced tool will never replace the intuition of a seasoned underwriter facing a complex risk. Because at the end of the day, you have to make a decision, to sign, to underwrite. And what we have underwritten, we cannot overwrite - our word is our bond, as is our signature. This dimension of our business, linked to the art of underwriting, is more important than some observers would have people believe. One way to acquire this art is to share experiences – both good and bad – and to share doubts and questions. Artists always belong to a school, from which they learn their craft. Like artists, we have to learn, imitate, mimic, and then innovate, in order to find our own style and create our own distinctive work.
