When you see a Talent, you know and while the discussions may go on about the value of the Talent, it is important and necessary to secure him/her.
Sometimes, we take it for granted that the Talent will always be there until the unexpected happens and we realize the life of our beloved Talent is threatened. Everything changes as we begin to discuss how to ensure our Talent is saved.
Nigeria is blessed with Talents, enormously so, in different areas of life but we do not protect and secure them with the unseen value that insurance offers!
We have lost Talents to ill-health, accidents, joblessness and deaths that could have been avoided if insurance was in place.
ADVICE 1: Keep Records of our Talents.
The immediate question on our minds would be: Who will do it? I don’t have the answer, but will be happy to work with anyone or organization that considers this worthwhile.
Having records of our Talents based on standard KYC structure and biometrics will be necessary to ensure we’re dealing with the right persons.
ADVICE 2: Provide Insurance Coverages for our Talents.
The risks we seek to manage are deaths, accidents, thefts, damages and incapacitation, so appropriate insurance coverages will be provided. This will ensure that our Talents and their families live better knowing that their future have been secured.
The insurers providing the coverages will be closely monitored to ensure they are financially strong year in year out and capable of meeting their obligations to our Talents.
ADVICE 3: Create a Talents Insurance Pool.
With proper records of our Talents and insurance coverages provided, it would be ideal to have a Talent Insurance Pool for ease of managing them and their privileges.
A pool managed professionally and with a sense of sustainability would ensure a healthy and secured lifestyle for our Talents.
ADVICE 4: Ensure an Effective Monitoring and Evaluation Process is in Place.
Importantly, we would require and put in place, different teams of professionals to monitor and evaluate our Talents from time to time.
Their needs in terms of healthcare, education, mobility, communication, finance and technology will be taken care of.
ADVICE 5: Ensure Regular Updates are Posted about our Talents.
News about our Talents should not come as a surprise. If he/she is ill or involved in an accident, we should know immediately and take measures to assist him/her recover with minimal distractions.
And if our Talents are winning laurels, we should also be immediately informed and celebrate him/her excellently.
Sometimes, we just don’t celebrate our Talents enough. We should always celebrate them for the world to know.
Talents build nations, so nations should recognize and reward them and their families.
Nigeria might be No. 1 in the world when it comes to the collection of Talents using many parameters of measurement.
Let’s keep records of our Talents and protect them with appropriate insurance coverages from known and emerging risks to ensure they remain increasingly valuable from generation to generation.
As always, your comments and questions are welcomed.
I remain…
Assuredly Yours,
