He described managers’ direct participation in technical meetings as essential and underscored the importance of enhancing managerial competencies and equipping managers with current knowledge, particularly in artificial intelligence. He also emphasized the need to observe appropriate standards to improve managerial effectiveness.

Salmani highlighted the importance of implementing a succession-planning system to identify and develop talent within organizations, emphasizing merit-based advancement and the identification of highly capable personnel. He also stressed that regulations and directives should be continuously updated to streamline administrative processes and align them with evolving needs. Managers’ regular participation in professional development programs, he added, is vital to ensuring that their knowledge remains current.

Addressing the meeting, Majid Naderi, CII’s Deputy for Management and Resources Development, emphasized the central role of human capital in the insurance industry. He described the recruitment of qualified and capable professionals as a fundamental requirement for improving performance and strengthening regulatory oversight across the industry, stating: “Human capital recruitment must be substantive, targeted, and aligned with the insurance industry’s actual needs in order to create the conditions necessary for the effective discharge of regulatory responsibilities.”

Referring to recruitment trends in recent years, Naderi stressed that equal attention must be given to human capital retention, adding: “Recruiting new personnel alone cannot meet the industry’s needs. Serious planning is also required to retain capable professionals and strengthen employee motivation.”
