specialization and responsibilities must integrate their
activities towards one of the main objectives of the
organization- customer satisfaction.

 PROCESS

quality services. Organization is expected to render services
.organization is expected to render services in all there
phase’s viz. presales, during sale and after sales. during pre
sales when the customer develops expections,the
organization must ensure quality and availability of the
product in time. During sales, when the customer
experiences the sales process, the organization must provide
the customer an opportunity to inspire, and treat them with
courteous attentiveness, prompt reply etc. during after sales,
when the sales are finalized the organization must provide
supporting services such as speedy replacement, simplified
complaint procedure, efficient maintenance and repair

11
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

 CONCENTRATION ON COMPETITORS

An organization must focus constant attention on the


competitor’s performance, their strategy and style of
operations and compare same with its own performance.
Customer always makes this comparison and decides their
future purchase pattern. Such analysis done by organization
would help in increasing its strengths and reducing its
weakness.

prospective customers must be periodically analyzed from
several perspectives such as who constitute the customer
inventory, level of customer retention, what makes them

product or services. Always, there must be sincere attempts
towards cost reduction without compromising on quality.
The organization must perform value analysis and try to
reduce costs and retain the same good quality or improve
quality of product or service. This would elp to avoid
switching over of the customer to other brands.

 CONCENTRATION ON THE PAYING


ABILITY OF CUSTOMERS

Pricing decisions are to be governed not merely by cost


related factors. Before fixing price, the paying ability of the
potential customers must also be viewed. To some extent
prices are to be adjusted in tune with the fluctuations in the
paying ability of potential customers. In this process, an
organization may have to sacrifice small portions of the
profit tentatively. But, considering long term relationship
and future opportunity of earning, such price adjustment is
worth practicing. If customers were lost due to price factor
their nonavailibility of prices, then the organization would
have to invest heavily in trying to get them back but with no
guarantee for the same.

13
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

PATTERN

purchase behavior pattern of their customers. The

the ultimate outcome are o be analyzed in-debt. The
outcome of purchase decision may be any one of the four
viz. (1) Purchase, (2) Rejection, (3) Postponement, (4)
Search for substitutes.ganisation should have an idea about
what percentage of customers arrive at what sort of a
decision and appropriate steps arte to initiate towards
making them buy the products on a continued basis. With
regard to organization purchasing decisions, the key persons
influencing the decision, their characteristics and
expectation, etc. have to be understood in clear terms.

 DIFFERNCIATION IN PRICES AND QUALITY


STANDERS

An organization may come forward to offer services or


brands of different varieties with price variations. To keep a
particular need, three or four brands of varied quality and at
differing price level must be available so that, the customer
depending on his financial position may prefer at least one
of the varieties available. This would prevent the customers
from switching over to other brands.

14
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

 FOCUS ON REDUCING DISSATISFACTION

Irrespective of the standard of s product or services offered


by an organization, it is likely that the customers would
reach a level of dissonance and seek for remedial actions.
An origination must be pro-active to such a situation.
Alldfissatisfied customers will not come forward to show
their displeasure. They may simply make a brand switch-
over. This will badly reflect on the prospective customer’s
attitude. To avoid this, the causes for dissatisfaction are to
be identified and have to be attended well. I of a complaint
is well attended, then the relationship would continue to
exist.

 ATTENTION ON CHANGING REQUIREMENTS OF


CUSTOMERS

The requirements of the customers are bound to change in


tune with the changes in their lives, demographic and
psychographi9c profiles and the related aspects, customers
up to a given point of time would concentrate on lift-life

16
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

 TRAINING TO SUPPLY CHAIN


EMPLOYEES

Generation must become forward to offer state of the art


training to all those who are connected in the supply chain.
Every link in the supply chain is very important.
Unsatisfactory performance by anyone will destroy the
entree process of providing total satisfaction tom the
customers concerned. Training in the areas of customers
care, customer approach, body language of service
providers, customer communication, customer need
assessment, customer’s complaint management, etc. are to
be provided a smart service provider can obviously enhance
the level of customer satisfaction.

HUMAN RELATION IN INSURANCE


SECTOR

Humans depend on each other, they are continuously


influenced by their surrounding, their character is molded by those

Any sector ahs complex relations among the customers and among
the top level and lower level management. Human nature demands
teamwork no human can live in a vacuum. Any field of activity be

relations and seek to emphasis human aspects of work life and

Human relation has been persuading and informing people
within the organization and outside to develop long lasting

different groups and achieving the goals and objectives of the
organization. The scope of human relation is relevant for the
management of internal public as well as external public. it is
human relation with which both management,employees,and
related external public mutually cooperate to achieve their

Insurance sector is a service sector and like any other sector
involves human relations from core to bottom. The relations are an
essential part of the sector and the entire sector based totally on
these relations and a flaw in any of these relation may result into a

problem in other relation also as each of these relations are


interrelated. The relations are necessary because relations who
indicate either t5he sector is making profit or even if the sector has
to be in the existence. The relationship management is a key
element in maintaining these relations as and when only if the
relations are properly managed will they give results or be faithful
to the sector.

itself, relation between Insurance Company and its employees, the
relation between insurance company and its customers, the
relation between employees of the company and the customer of

prudent in an insurance company. The relation can be expressed

HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

As shown in the above diagram the modes of


relations among the relations have been brought forward.
The relation between Insurance Company and Employees:

There is a direct relation between the insurance company


and the employees of the company, the employees have to directly
face with the company management, also the company has to take
care of its employees and have to cater to their needs and
expectation and see that they are treated according to their work
and service provided by them. They are an essential part of the
organization as it is in their work delivery that the company makes
gains or faces losses.

The relation between employees of the company and the


customers:

The customer of any organization is the reason for the


business to be alive if the customers are not there is no necessity
for the organization to continue as it is an essentiality for the
company to maintain good customer relations so that they are able
to gain the confidence of the customer and employees re the
people who come face to face with the customers it is the
responsibility of the employees to create a good repo with the
customers so that there is development of faith for the company as
faith is everything in insurance business and no insurance
company can do business without faith.

21
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

The relation between the customer and the insurance


company:

There is an indirect relation between the customer and the


insurance company because the company and the customer never
meet but the customer is the main reason of the company and the
company does respect its owe to take care that the customer has
his willful service and that they are not hurt in any way because
they are sole provider of business and the profits the insurance
sector earns.
The project is about the human relations in insurance sector
hence we focus on the relations in the insurance sector there are
two important relation in insurance sector ’CUSTOMER
RELATIONS’ and ‘EMPLOYEE RELATIONS’ these are two
basic relations which the insurance sector has within itself and
these are the two relations of the sector and the company has to
take care of these two relations as they provide business and profit
to the business and profit to the company. The employees are the
investments of the company and the customer are the returns of
the company.
To start off with we start with the customer’s relation and
then go on to the employee relations as the customers are the
essential part of the sector and also it is necessary we understand
the customer first and the people dealing with them.

CUSTOMER RELATIONS IN INSURANCE


SECTOR

Insurance of India has come a long way since liberalization


of the sector, three has been refreshing change. Opening of a
sector has increased the has stiffened the competition making it
necessary for the providers to the change their traditional method
of policy based sales structure to customized sales structure. An
industry which serves intangible goods or services needs to
understand and serve the customer by ever improving standard. In
a lecture G.N.Bajpai the chairman of LIC emphasized that the
growing importance of CRM will forced the companies to
transform CRM into value based Clint relationship. There is no
panacea for implementing CRM but by avoiding some common
pitfalls an enterprise can have world class CRM strategies and
accordingly more satisfied customers.

Customer Relationship Management or CRM as it is known


is basically about continuously improving the quality of
interaction and communication with new and existing customers.
Insurance providers traditionally concentrated on product creation,
with distribution and sales consider a different business focus and
therefore customer was not a key concern, but with the evaluation
of technology, customer are now demanding multiples channels
through which can interact with there providers including face to
face contract, phone, websites, empathy mobile device etc. the

23
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

insurance company have been forced to explore new channels for


distributing so that the ordinary customer can achieve more
information about the insurance product.

A type insurance company has a huge customer base, varied


lines multiple distribution channels and a market spread across
geographies. To effectively interact with the customer and design
suitable products the insurer has to leverage a vast pool of data at
each steal in the CRM process and use the insight gained for
developing new products and services to meet the ever changing
needs of the customers.

There three basic steps for CRM in an insurance company they are
as follows:

Identifying the most potential customer :

Identifying the customers includes the following points:

 CUSTEOMER PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS:

Besides acquiring new customers, it is vital role of insures


to retain and increase the profitability of existing one. To
arrive at the overall profitability of the customer, insurers
must quantify the cost involved in serving the customer
over a period and the revenues realized from the customer
during the period. The results of customer profitability
analysis can point toward the reason behind why some
customers might be unprofitable because the product used
by them do not match their risk profile. Customer

24
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

profitability analysis can signify help in developing new


products for a customer and customer segment.

 CUSTEOMER LIFETIME VALUE:

Customer profitability is not the sole measures of a


customer value to the insurance company. A customer may
have the potential of buying profitable products in the future
he may also serve as an excellent reference for more
profitable customers. Customer life time value is hence a
more insightful measure. Often data mining tools are used
to model customer lifetime value, taking into account all the
factors that have a bearing on the customers value over the
entire course of their relationship with the insurance
company.

 CUSTEOMER VALUE PROPOSITION:

Insurer must create better customer value packages, finance


option and going close to customer. They should reach a
new level of service by offering their customers the
information and services they want before they know what
they want before they even know what they want. They
should provide the customer more choices and fewer
reasons to turn to competitors.

25
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

Understanding their needs and buying patterns:

The three factors that cater to this are,

 CUSTEOMER SEGMENTATION:

Segmentation is used to segregate customers, who exhibit

Common characteristics, in different segments. A customer


may have the potential buying profitable products in the
future; he may also serve as an excellent reference for more
profitable customers. Customer segmentation can save a lot
of marketing efforts, which would otherwise go waste.
Often data mining tools are used for segmenting the entire
customer base into clusters, identified on the basis of
various demographic and psychographic factors. It
segregates customers who exhibit common characteristics
in different segments. This segment can be treated as
distinct entities and the future interaction with them can be
tailored accordingly.

 ATTRTION ANALYSIS:

Studies have shown that across industries that acquiring


customer is more costly than retaining existing customers. It
involves analysis of fate captured during individual
customer contacts at the various touch points. Acquiring
new customer is much more costly than retaining the
existing ones. It costs much less to keep a current customer
than it does to attract a new one. Typically buying an
insurance product is along term for a customer and if he
decides to switch it is very likely that he will not come

26
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

back. Hence retaining of customer is of paramount


importance, customer attraction analysis is the first in the
direction. It involves analysis is the first step of direction. It
involves analysis of data capture during individual customer
contract at the various touch points. For attrition analysis,
customer contact data est. is then associated with other data
source like claims and policies, the resultant dates set is
then associated with customer who have switched analyze
the possible reason behind this decision. The result can also
be used to improve the performance the customer touch
points.

 AFINITY ANALYSIS:

It is often referred to as market based analysis. Certain


products show an affinity towards each other and are like to
be bought tighter. For example a man in his early thirty is
who buys life insurance policy might also be interested in a
certain type of annuity. These affinities can be at times
extremely difficult to unearth and often data mining tools
are used for this purpose. These tools used a technique
called association analysis for arriving at the right
combination of products and service for a customer and
customer segment.

Interact with them so meet all their expectation:

27
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

This involves the following;

 TARGET MARKETING:

Marketing to specific customer group is a natural outcome


of customer segmentation. Once distinct customer segments
are identified, BI tools can be used to study the products
likely to bought by the segment. Often data mining is used
to develop predictive models to establish the buying
prosperity of a segment towards various existing or new
products. Armed with this knowledge, marketing managers
can design specific campaigns targeted at individual
segment.

 CAMPAIGN ANALYSIS:

Campaign analysis is used to analyze the effectiveness of


marketing or promoting campaigns. The effects of a
particular campaign on sales of the promoted product can be
tracked using BI tools. Often the surge in sales of the
promoted can result in decrease in sale of other related
product. BI tools can also help identify such relationship.
The campaign data warehouse and can be predict the
effectiveness of similar campaigns in future.

 CROSS SELLING:

28
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

It is major revenue for insurance companies. For effective


cross selling an insurance can leverage data housed in
warehouse to quickly zero down on the new products
housed that would be required by its existing customers.
These can then be offered to them during the next contract.

 CUSTOMER RESPONSE ANALYSIS:

It helps them in gaining a better understanding of their


customers’ needs so as to recognize preference and buying
patterns that allows them to build individual customer
solution across all of their business channels and division,
as well as to cross and up sell.

The above were the customer relation process followed by


the insurance companies now we look at the various
measures that the companies use to reach their customers in
order to complete their requirements from the company.
Following are the ways used by the insurance companies in
order to fulfill the necessity of the customers & to take care
of them their needs and to inform them about the facilities
available to them:

1. Public relation offices

2. Internet

3. Advertisements

4. Call center

29
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

These are the four common method used by most of the


insurance companies for providing service to their customers. We
now look into details of these methods.

1.PUBLIC RELATIONS OFFICES:

These are offices were the customers can directly come face
to face with the trained and well qualified executives who are
present in for the reason of helping out the customers with their
problems they might face at any time. These are also there to help
the customers who are interested in taking the policies guiding
them with every information they required about the policies and
whom to contact where to get them any single information. They
are also useful for getting the information about the filling for the
forms and the required papers for getting the policies. These are
the people who responsible for getting all the doubts clear from
the mind of the customer and clear all single question so that the
customers do not feel cheated so disappointed with the company.
The office may be 24/7 or might have working hours but the
people working here always have to built a good rap orate for the
company in front of customer an see that the customer do not
leave their desk with a doubt on their minds as this can be a very
a bad thing for the company and in the heavily competitive
environment every single customers counts, the loss of a single
customer may prove vital to the company and they do not believe
in losing a single customer no matter how big or small they
might be. The executives are professional human relation who
offers the best service possible to the customers and to fulfill their

30
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

requirements as and how they need. They have accessed to


measure part of information related to the policies and they are at
full power to accomplish the needs of the customer within a few
minutes according to their requests.

2. INERENET:

This is the word which has been joining two different parts
of the world together and everything you need can be found be
here and you don’t have to go anywhere at any place except your
computer. If everything is available on the internet why to keep
the insurance behind. Insurance company has been blamed of not
having expanded the internet facilities according to its potential
but the thing has changed and no insurance company has been left
behind in utilizing the internet facility to its use of attracting
customers and providing them with facilities they get through
other sectors through internet.

The insurance companies have used the internet in two


ways one is to keep the customer they have and secondly to attract
the new and potential customers. This has affected the insurance
business in a positive manner, the people have been drawn
towards the internet and insurance on internet possibly is one of
the major things that can be called as the favorites of the people
because the people of today have realized the essentiality if the
insurance in their life and access to insurance through internet is
possibly the best gift they could have as in today’s worlds every
person is busy and they didn’t have time even to sit and eat
properly and in such situation the people do feel a relief about the
availability of the insurance on the internet. The aim of the

31
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

internet insurance is basically providing the customers with every


policy on the net and the choice of the person is based on the
requirement just like any other product the customer can choose
from the net and feel the form and within the matter of days the
agents are to keep your doorsteps for the documents and within a
week’s time you get the policy and you are insured. The internet
has the facility of providing information about the insurance
company that is the customers can get information regarding the
companies policies available, their branches in the area, the
history of the company, their sales etc. every details that are
required by the customers can be found on the internet and this
help the customers to realize what he wants and decide over his
decision as most of the information and data are provided to him
and the customer just has a click, as the insurance company say
insurance just at a click of your fingertip. Internet has provide a
large base for companies to enlarge their business overseas and
across continents as the internet has reached places where even
transportation reaches with difficulty. Through the internet
companies have been able to satisfy their customers as the
customers have been able to across every single detail of the
company and have been able to utilize the facility with the great
results in the working of the company. The results of the increased
business are the proof that internet do play an essential role in the
working of the company & expanding its business in the world.

The above wear the various ways with which insurance


companies try to produce their customers and try to bring in forth
every facility they can provide to the customers. But inspit of
these measures the customer relations in insurance companies face
some challenges in implementing the Customer Relation
Management they are as follows:

 CULTURE

39
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

The culture of the insurance industry hampers the


movement towards the CRM. Traditionally the insurance
sector has been resistant to changes in business or
technology. Insurer’s legacy information systems have
proven a major impediment to adopting technologies like
CRM.

 IDENTIFICATION OF CUSTOR POINT

Getting the information to the actual point of customer


contact, which varies from company to company, is one of
the major problems in implanting CRM. The relation with
customer is often scattered across layers. The sales models
within the industry can be classified into: agents, brokers,
and direct writers.

 TECHNOLOGY:

Many insurance companies still lack the technology and the


corporate approach needed to under their customers. Lack
of internal enterprise wide data integration has made it
exceedingly difficult to develop a comprehensive view of
customers. Many industrial changes will be required for
industry deployments to be successful. These changes
include updating administration systems, consolidating back
offices, integrating front end channels with back end
systems, moving customer information to front end
channels and dealing with data issues.

 CRM-BUY AND BUILD:

40
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

Enterprise must make crucial decisions as to whether they


should buy CRM solution from venders or to build the
system internally. Internal construction requires sufficient
IT resource with skill and expertise in various CRM areas,
time to complete the project and funding. These challenges
cause many small to midsize providers to turn to external
venders for the parts needed for CRM.

 CRM-COST OR REVEVUE:

This is a question that most enterprises ask, CRM solutions


have to prove their worth to the top users prior to making an
investment. But the measuring results of CRM process
when they know the results until they activate it. Therefore
insurers must clearly identify the purpose of the system
being implemented and conduct a thorough cost vs. benefit
analysis this will result in a better return on investment for
the company.

Even the challenges the insurance company have a soft


cushion to their customers as customers play a vital role in the
running of the insurance business.

This was about the customer relations in the insurance


company we now shift our focus on the second part of the project
that is the relation between Insurance company and the employee
of the company.

now we see at the training requirements of the products.

The practical training given to an insurance agent is aimed


at the following points:

 COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE OF PRODUCTS:

It is an essential for an individual’s to have complete


information of all the products he will be selling to the
customer or to the prospective policy holder. Failure in an
explaining the products and their benefits can lead to losing
prospects.

 IMPORTANCE OF PER SALE SERVICE:

In other words the individual needs to find the prospects


and gradual developing the person into a fall fledged
customer. This is also known as nurturing the prospects by
eliminating his fears regarding the service.

 IMPORTANCE OF POST SALE SERVICE:

In selling a product or a service, post sale services is the


most important step as it leads to further business. In other
words the customer should be highly satisfied with the
agent in order to give him further reference which can be
developed into business. One satisfied customer can fetch
five more customers.

insurance company to their agents the required person is selected
and the training is provided by the company and agent is ready for
the work.

Though the agents are like the salesman they have greater
value and it is essential that they are equally treated. The agents
have to be given the priority because only if they are boosted with
confidence will they are able to bring in the results and prove to be
an assts to the company just as an employees have to be motivated
the agents have to be motivated as they too are humans. The
companies have found different ways of motivating there agents
they included giving them, gifts applauding their efforts, some of
the companies even send their well deserved agents to outside
countries for holidays. These all helps in motivating the agents
and they put in extra efforts to bring business to the company.
Though there may be a small amount of investments by the
companies the end is also huge with the increase in the business of
the company. Agents have a vital role to play in the companies as
no matter how many competitions there might be a good agent
always brings in the market the companies should have a well
organized and motivated set of agents working for them.

BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING (B.P.O)

What is B.P.O?

In generic terms core business is the process which is


central to a company’s operations that inject value to its
stakeholders in the business. These are the process which has been
identified by the business strategic thinking as critical to excel
meet or beat the completion. Being driven by this philosophy
companies during the early 90s paid greater attention to business
process reengineering and in the process figured out that they
wear spending a fat lot of time in maintaining support and
management process that could as well be had from companies for
whom it was the core business and that too at a much lesser cost.
This is how BPO came onto existence.

BPO is nothing but transferring selected functions or


services and delegating day to day management responsibility to a
third party called the supplier. Outsourcing is a long term
commitment to another company delivering a service to the
outsourcing company. It amounts to the transfer of its internal
operations, include ding perhaps, its existing staff, to company
suppling the out sources services. Greater trust is therefore needed
to achieve success in an outsourcing engagement else the
customer is likely to be affected that too permanently by any
failure on the part of supplier. In short ‘True Partnership’ is the
fulcrum on which the success of outsourcing rests.

The following can be outsourced from the insurance


company:

 E-business enabled transaction processing.

 Back office operations like policy and contract administration ,


billing and payment processing, print distribution and electronic
archive, reporting, compliance, financial management

 New product, company or subsidy launch

55
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

 Distribution channel management

 Reinsurance

 System and infrastructure management

 Loan servicing

Here are some of the reasons why the insurance companies


should look to outsourcing:

 Shrinking margins-in In order to strengthen their margin


level, functions may be outsourced so that the overall expenses’
are reduced.
 New way of conducting business like e-business in which
the insurance company may not process enough strength.
 Need for strengthening one core competencies and as result,
outsource non-core functions.
 Driving a line between direct customers related business
and other like HR training act.

Outsourcing has become the trend of today’s business all


major sectors have outsource their business and insurance sector
to is one of them. These is an easy and cheaper method of
conducting the business and it also allows the company in
concentrating on its core function as for insurance it is selling of
insurance. They do have form an essential part of the sector and
this is because of the busy schedule and the expenses incurred
they are not under the company but they are in a way working for
the company.

CHAPTER: 6

HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

CONCLUSION

Human relations are the essential part of any organization or


sector that is working in today’s globalizing world. The
essentiality has been understood by the organization and they have
taken measures to use these relations in their favor. The
organization invest a lot in the human resource development and
this is one of the investment they believe to be profitable and no
matter how much the company invest they do receive equal
amount of return.

After the project there is a strong feeling in m that


companies have thoroughly understood the reasons of success life
within their relation. Their relation has been increased and they
believe that they can make a different with these relations. The
most important part is that they are really helping the growth of
the company. Relation mentioned is the relations between the
customer and the company and the relation between the
employees of the company and the company. The impact of
globalization has had a lot of effect on the relations because of the
increasing competitive nature of the business. At such point of
time the companies look to have every advantage they can have
and human relations provide them with these advantages.

The customer relation management is the core of such


management because they are the reason for any business to
survive and to continue making profit with a good customer base
the companies can make profits and earn the respect of the
customers which can be essential for business toll and even for the

57
HUMAN RELATION MANAGEMENT IN INSURANCE COMPANY

future they are essential because they are the end users and the
various measures use by the companies are a step taken by a
company in getting a new business hence every satisfies customer
in the future business for the customer.

In having a good customer relation it is essential that they


have a good employee base hence employee relations comes into
focus the employees are representatives of the company and hence
it is essential that they have all the essential training the required
necessity of handling individuals etc; it is essential that these
employees get the required motivation and the rewards for their
accomplishments. This is necessary because they are the ones who
decide the business of the companies and hence they have to be
well motivated and they should be enjoying the work they do and
should not do under the pressure of doing their work. Companies
have taken measures and I personally feel that they are doing fine
job with it humans are the essentially no matter how advanced
technology can be created nothing can change the human factors.
