Ever wonder what happens when a recruitment agency’s mobile office equipment or laptops are damaged in transit? That’s where property and inland marine insurance comes in. As an insurance agent, you can help ensure your clients have the best insurance for employment agencies, covering their assets wherever they are.
Why Property and Inland Marine Insurance Matters for Employment Agencies
Employment agencies often operate in dynamic environments where their assets are frequently on the move or stored at various locations.
Think about all the technology and equipment your clients use daily — laptops, mobile office setups, recruitment software, and more. These tools are essential for their day-to-day operations and often travel from one job site to another.
This is why property and inland marine insurance is crucial for your employment agency clients. While traditional property insurance protects on-site equipment and office furniture, inland marine insurance extends that coverage to mobile or off-site assets.
Helping Clients Identify Coverage Gaps
Standard property insurance may leave your clients’ mobile, in-transit, or off-site assets susceptible to risks. Consequently, one valuable service you can offer as an insurance agent is helping employment agency clients identify potential coverage gaps.
Start by evaluating how much of their property falls outside traditional insurance. For instance, do they send employees to off-site locations with valuable equipment? Are their recruitment technologies and tools insured while in transit?
These types of questions help pinpoint vulnerabilities where inland marine insurance can provide additional protection.
By conducting a thorough risk assessment, you can better determine if their existing policies leave them vulnerable to avoidable losses.
Tailoring Comprehensive Insurance for Employment Agencies
Once you’ve identified the gaps, the next step is building a comprehensive insurance plan that suits your client’s specific needs.
With nearly 12,000 employment agencies in the United States relying heavily on mobile technology equipment, a one-size-fits-all approach won’t work. You need to customize their coverage based on their operational realities.
For example, if a client uses a mobile office setup for on-site recruitment or relies on laptops storing sensitive candidate data, those assets should be explicitly covered under their insurance policy. By including such items, you ensure their critical assets are protected, whether they’re on the road, at a client’s site, or in transit.
