... the starting point for our discussions and redesign. Since the Great Depression, banks have been highly regulated. Regulation of solvency, operations, and products created sameness in the world of banking. It resulted in a system devoid of competition. Because of this lack of competition, bankers and banking operated in a seller's market. The customer searches out the bank and begs, Please, please, please lend me the money. But agents live in a buyer's market. Their constant plea is Please, please, please buy my policy. These environments are diametrically opposed to one another and this creates the basis for the difference in values/culture, focus, compensation systems, processes, etc. The future will be a buyer's market. Regulation and the resulting sameness in the banking industry created an institutional focus ... than an individual focus. Systems evolved into bureaucracies. Rules and roles replaced individualism and creativity. Adherence to the rules and attendance to the task became the basis for rewards and promotions. Achievement, creativity and performance-driving forces in the sales world of the agency system-were not recognized and often were discouraged. Regulation must be recognized and but can no longer be used as an excuse for average performance. Agents must respect regulation and adhere to the rules established-while at the same time, tomorrow's world must challenge participants and reward performance. Compensation systems must change and this will be one of the most difficult challenges. Traditionally banks have focused on products and process first and people last in a mass-marketed system. Agents, on the other hand, have primarily been interested in people and products first, with process as ...

... community that will commit a dishonest act. Frequently, the person who defrauds an employer is a first-time offender and rarely has a criminal record. Therefore, there are no police records that would warn of a possible crime. Although there may not be an agreement among sociologists as to what kind of person would commit a dishonest act, there are some situations, opportunities, and personal traits that may lend themselves toward a fraudulent occurrence. We have listed them in a questionnaire as a way in which you can use to deter fraud. Any question in the "Fraudulent Risk Questionnaire" that can be answered "yes" indicates that there may be potential for a fraudulent act to occur.

HOW TO RECOGNIZE AND PREVENT FRAUD OR EMBEZZLEMENT by Alison Jones and Steve Flowers Many articles have been written about increasing an agency's income by instituting a formal planning process, by target marketing, by streamlining operations, automating or by adopting a total quality management approach. Rarely, however, is there anything written that addresses a problem common to about 65% of all agencies: fraud or embezzlement. No sales center, producer compensation program, automation system, or continuous improvement plan will enhance an agency's financial strength if its profits are steadily being eroded by the deceitful actions of an embezzler. During these continuing difficult economic times, ...

... mass mutiny or an E&O suit becomes a real concern. While it's often difficult to anticipate when a new employee will be needed, it is possible to develop a plan for dealing with vacancies in a more disciplined and thoughtful manner than simply grabbing the first warm body that you can find. Review current job assignments to identify any functional areas that are either not well covered or that might lend themselves to more or less specialization in the future. Prepare a set of written job descriptions for the current and future positions that include the functions performed and the reporting relationships as well as the educational and experience qualifications required of a person in that position. Draw up an organizational chart to illustrate the relationships between the various job positions and review the written descriptions that have been prepared.

But in most agencies, past compensation practices have resulted in the people who have been there the longest being the ones who have the highest base salaries. Calculating a raise or bonus on that base may not be fair to lower-paid people who have out-performed the others this year but who will get less of an increase because of the lower base. By instituting a performance point system of calculating raises or bonuses, you can eliminate the negative effects of calculating increases as a percentage of the base salary and also directly tie the amount of the increase to the agency's total results as well as to the individual employee's performance. Such an incentive plan might be based upon agency profit, growth, revenues, increase in revenues per employee, contingents received, or ...
