Insurance Sectoral Social Dialogue

In the framework of the EU Insurance Sectoral Social Dialogue (ISSD), BIPAR takes part in regular meetings of the Committee composed of organisations representing employees and employers (“social partners”). BIPAR participates in the meetings on the employers’ side, together with representatives from Insurance Europe and AMICE. During these meetings, participants mainly exchange good practices on different topics and, where possible, work towards joint declarations.

On 12 March 2026, the European social partners in the insurance sector signed a joint declaration on the sector’s attractiveness.

The joint declaration underlines that the European insurance sector as a whole plays a vital role in society, providing financial security, social cohesion, risk management and long-term stability to individuals, businesses and communities. To remain relevant and competitive in a rapidly evolving world, Europe’s insurance industry must attract, retain and develop a motivated, engaged and empowered workforce.  

Ten key factors of an attractive sector with high-quality jobs, valuable skills and fair employment opportunities could in this respect be considered by employers and employees:
1) Values-oriented and sustainable work
2) High-quality working conditions
3) Varied and innovative work with a responsible use of AI and digital tools
4) Work-life balance and modern working arrangements
5) Job security
6) Equal opportunities, diversity, inclusion and non-discrimination
7) Access to training and professional development
8) Fundamental rights at work
9) Onboarding
10) Occupational health & safety, including a workplace free from violence & harassment
