Insurance provider Hiscox harnessed the same immersive learning principles to create the world’s first underwriter simulator. The solution features:
✅ Interactions with 3D avatars of brokers and colleagues.
✅ Simulated market research, email requests, and phone calls with experts.
✅ Digital case studies to test qualitative judgement skills.
Learn how they pulled it off, and why, in this overview presented by Hiscox Group Head of People Development, Des Bishop, and Attensi Business Development Director, Huw Newton-Hill.
