new and changed leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

changes with new leadership that bring much needed discipline that was missing for past decade. Past leadership with president for the region, was flying intercontinental weekly on first class and lavish expenditure while the business was performing poorly and was finally made to go. Whilst underwriters had to forgo client travel meetings because of these bad behaviours. Now, there is a lot more focus on performance from individuals and not because you were connected to a very senior A/B band executive. A good chunk of that cronyism from the region has been removed since.

Cons

Individuals who were affected by restructuring have created a toxic culture to the ones who want to focus on their jobs, senior leaders included who are disgruntled and start little communities to influence others. Unfairness on how performance is assessed objectively and how connected you are to the most senior person in the office plays a strong factor and HR for the region has been complete useless in past years.

Swiss Re Response
