AN INTRODUCTION
Some Major Milestones in Insurance sector
1818: Establishment of the Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta 1870: The first Indian Life Insurance Company- The Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society was set up.
1912: The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to regulate the life insurance business.
1928: the Indian Life insurance Companies act enact to enable the government to collect statistical information about both the life and non- life insurance business.
1938: earlier legislation amended by the insurance Act with the objective of protecting the interests of the insuring public
1956: 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies taken over by the central government and nationalized.LIC formed by an act of parliament, with a capital contribution of Rs 5 crores from the government.
1993: appointment of the Malhotra committee to make recommendations to make changes to the sector.
2000: licenses issued to private sector players, marble floors, chandeliers, and uniformed doormen greeted the customer on entering a department store .Countless services and amenities were available to all. Saleswoman helped shoppers select merchandise; items could be personalized; parcels carefully wrapped and delivered. Tired shoppers could rest in sumptuous lounges, reading rooms and restaurants and leave their children in nurseries and entertain them in playgrounds and fairylands.
Departments stores provided the public with fantastic entertainment and spectacle, fashion shows and parades were important store highlights. While part of the new customer culture, department stores also offered recreation. Shopping seemed to be a new form of social and cultural activity.
I) STRUCTURE
Government is stake in the insurance Companies to be brought down to 50%. Government should take over the holding of GIC and its subsidiaries so that these subsidiaries can act as Independent Corporation. All the insurance companies should be given greater freedom to operate
II) COMPETITION
Private companies with a minimum paid up capital of Rs 1bn should be allowed to enter the industry. No Company should deal in both life and general insurance through a single entity. Foreign companies may be allowed to enter the industry in collaboration with the domestic companies. Postal life insurance should be allowed to operate in the rural market. Only one state level life insurance company should be allowed to operate in each state.
IV) INVESTMENTS
Mandatory investments of LIC life fund in government security to be reduced from 75% to 50%. GIC and its subsidiaries are not to hold more than 5%in any company (There current holdings to be brought down to this level over a period of time).
V) CUSTOMER SERVICE
LIC should pay interest in delays in payments beyond 30 days. Insurance company should be encouraged to setup unit linked pension plans. Computerization of operations and updating of technologies to be carried out in the insurance industry. The committee emphasized that in order to improve the customer services and increase the coverage of the insurance industry should be opened up to competition. But at the same time, the committee felt the need to exercise caution as any failure on the part of new players could ruin the public confidence in the industry. Hence, it was decide to allow competition in a limited way stipulating the minimum capital requirement of Rs 100 crores. The committee felt the need to provide greater autonomy to insurance company in order to improve there performance and enable them to act as independent companies with economic motives. For this purpose, it had proposed setting up an independent regulatory body.
The varieties of constraints put on it by its owner, viz the government, was both a reason as well as an alibi for the under performance of the nationalized insurance sector. Now that restrictive government policies are being given up and public sector units are being empowered to make independent decisions, they should be more free to decide their own grown path. it should also be possible for them to prove their potential strength by exploiting the tremendous opportunities such as the following substantial potential for growth; exploring untapped niche areas; and forming limited joint ventures with suitable partners .Easy access to developments in the more advanced markets provide further opportunities to upgrade their working .Technological, financial or specific areas-based avenues of absorbing improved systems are also now more easily available. The expectation that private sector entrants would necessarily take time to secure a foothold in the market was in itself an opportunity. In practice, Insurance undergone rapid and massive changes in all aspects of their business: product and services, sectoral structure, market segmentation, competitive environment. It is believed that the information sharing has not taken its expected shape in the insurance industry for the purposes of practices, research and education. However, data is one of the most needed ingredients in the insurance business development as well as for research and consultancy. There have been regular efforts by IRDA for collection and sharing of the data and other information of public interest. The industry is facing problems in terms of data review as parliament need to register this beforehand. We believe that progress of the industry should not be constrained by any extraneous conditions in the interest of research and development in the area. Manpower India today released the Manpower Employment Outlook Survey for the first quarter of 2008 revealing sustained positive hiring intentions of employers in India. India continues to lead all 23 countries surveyed this quarter, with a positive overall Net Employment Outlook of +27%. Even though this figure represents a decrease of 13 percentage points from the fourth quarter of 2007, the employment outlook remains extremely healthy. For the first time since the Survey was launched in India, the Finance, Insurance and Retail industry sector emerged as the most optimistic sector for a quarter with a Net Employment Outlook of +32%, surpassing the Services sector.

Privatization of insurance sector has allowed insurance companies to work in the market by depositing 100 crore rupees in the reserve of government. This has encouraged many overseas insurance companies, having a required amount in their reserve, to open their branch in our country. Introduction of the sector has changed the employment pattern, but people must know how to make profit from it. To be in the global market and have advantage of it, capital and skill as per the demand and knowledge of market is the requirement. It is necessary that institutions, which form a part of this financial system, have internal management, governance and accountability structures, which measure up to the highest standards.

Reforms in the insurance sector were initiated with the passage of the IRDA bill in parliament in December 1999.The IRDA since its incorporation as a statuary body in April 2000 has fastidiously stuck to its schedule of framing regulation and registering the private sector insurance companies. The other decisions taken simultaneously to provide the supporting systems to the insurance sector and in particular the life insurance companies were the launch of IRDAs online service for issue and renewal of licenses to agents. The approval of institutions for imparting training to agents has also insured that the insurance companies would have a trained workforce of trained insurance agents in place to sell there products, which are expected to introduce by early next year. Since being setup as an independent statutory body the IRDA has put in a framework of globally compatible regulations. In the private sector 13 life insurance and 9 general insurance companies have been registered.

layer' of the society, the real market lies in rural India, which accounts for the lion's share of LIC's present business. The foreign player must learn to adapt to Indian realities. The well-publicized failures of world famous consumer goods companies like Electrolux, Whirlpool, Reebok, Nike etc. to gauge the Indian psyche and sentiments demonstrate the concept. They failed in the areas of realistic pricing, product promotion and reaching to the consumer. The foreign companies need to know the "ground realities" to the details.

Talent management involves individual and organisational development in response to a changing and complex operating environment. It includes the creation and maintenance of a supportive, people oriented organisation culture.
Organisations that formally decide to "manage their talent" undertake a strategic analysis of their current HR processes. This is to ensure that a co-ordinate, performance oriented approach is adopted.
Quite often, organisations adopting a TM approach will focus on co-ordinating and integrating:
Recruitment - ensuring the right people are attracted to the organisation. Retention - developing and implementing practices that reward and support employees. Employee development - ensuring continuous informal and formal learning and development. Leadership and "high potential employee" development - specific development programs for existing and future leaders.
Performance management - specific processes that nurture and support performance, including feedback/measurement.
Workforce planning - planning for business and general changes, including the older workforce and current/future skills shortages.
An important step is to identify the staff or employees (people and positions) that are critical to the organisation. They do not necessarily have to be senior staff members. Many organisations lost a lot of "organisational knowledge" in the downsizing exercises of a few years ago. The impact of the loss was not immediately apparent. However, it did not take long for many companies to realise their mistake when they did not have people with the knowledge and skills to either anticipate or solve problems that arose.
The current discussions about skill shortages and the ageing population are also helping organisations to focus on the talent management issue. It may not be possible to simply go out and recruit new people to meet operational needs. Many leading companies have decided to develop their own people, rather than trying to hire fully skilled workers.
In summary, every organisation should be implementing talent management principles and approaches.
