Sales staff increase to about 1,000 people Job deterioration due to corona Meiji Yasuda Life June 17, 14:21
Meiji Yasuda Life Co., Ltd., a major life insurance company, has decided to increase the number of insurance sales personnel by about 1,000 this year. Although the employment environment is deteriorating due to the new coronavirus, we would like to actively recruit and secure excellent human resources.
Meiji Yasuda Life has approximately 33,000 employees nationwide who operate insurance products by visiting the policyholders and making phone calls.
We have increased the number of new types of insurance products and strengthened our sales capabilities, so we have increased the number of employees by about 500 each year for the past several years, but we plan to increase the number of employees by about 1,000 this year.
While the employment environment is deteriorating due to the new coronavirus, the company wants to hire talented people by actively hiring people who are considering changing jobs from other industries. In addition, the company plans to hire all contract employees who are in charge of customer data entry, etc., as full-time employees starting next year.
In the life insurance industry, in order to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus infection, sales representatives temporarily suspended visiting sales while the emergency was declared. Currently, many insurance companies are resuming operations and lacking manpower, and there is a possibility that the trend to increase recruitment will spread in the industry in the future.
