Description: The Great Resignation of the Post-COVID-19 era has affected nearly every major industry and profession over the past year. The actuarial profession, which has historically been a beacon of stability,is also impacted. Actuaries are leaving their positions at higher rates than ever before, demanding increased pay and benefits, more flexible hours, and the ability to work remotely. Ever-increasing demand for actuaries due to constantly evolving regulatory and business needs has widened the gap between the demand for and supply of actuarial work. What innovations are available for actuarial employers looking to bridge this gap? Get ready to listen to a panel of specialists on actuarial staffing models. The panel will discuss direct hiring, staff augmentation with consultants, independent contracting, and offshoring / outsourcing. The panel will explain how employers might pursue these options as well as the costs and benefits of each. Learn more about how current employees can benefit from various staffing models while avoiding common pitfalls; for example, how to engage and work effectively with offshore resources.

Description: The United Kingdom makes public an impressive body of data about its population, its health system (the NHS), and the care which the NHS provides to the nation. This session will take the audience on a tour of many of these sets - with a focus on uncovering healthcare disparities. For context, a brief description of the NHS in England, population characteristics of England, and how social determinants of health (SDOH) are quantified will be given. With these as a background, we will explore data on chronic disease prevalence and incidence as well as physician performance against targets. We will present examples of health disparities from this data for certain conditions. Datasets of UK prescribing will be shown for further detail. The closing portion of this talk will present similar public domain US data - and how the UK body of information can assist in understanding health disparities in the US.

Description: Critical factors to consider as we age include where we live, who we interact with, how we get the help and support we need when we need it, and how our health care is organized and delivered. Underlying this is how we finance the cost of specialized housing, care and support. Some communities are age-friendly where we can obtain supportive services, others are not. Some people choose to live in senior housing which integrates support services, others choose to live in the community among people of all ages. Some health care systems are well designed to meet the needs of older people, others are not. The cost of living for older adults, considering all of these factors, varies by community. Explore more about the perspective of older adults, how communities have structured to meet their needs, and how society as a whole is becoming aware of and addressing a growing aging population.
