Much more intuitive, transparent, and user-friendly – that’s how Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) development director Steve Jenkins describes the new application and renewal process for corporate Chartered status.
Starting this month, a new application form will be used as part of the institute’s relaunch of its corporate Chartered proposition for the insurance and financial planning profession. Designed to simplify the process for applying and renewing, the form will determine whether a business is qualified staff-wise.
According to the CII, the form will automatically make a calculation to see if 90% of a Chartered insurer or insurance broker’s customer-facing workers are members, as well as if the entire board is made up of institute members.
In addition, the new application form also asks whether the applicant is seeking Chartered status for just a division or the company as a whole. Meanwhile a new section on corporate social responsibility has been introduced as well.
“We believe the new application form better reflects what Chartered represents with the addition of a Corporate Social Responsibility section,” commented Jenkins. “Also, by providing prompts and removing the need for manual calculations, it should speed up the process and make it much more intuitive, transparent, and user-friendly.”
