Changing Workplaces and the Insurance Industry

The working week no longer means Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. Home working and the gig economy are changing the workplace, and according to figures published by the ONS in February 2019, the number of self-employed people in the UK increased from 3.3 million people in 2001 to 4.8 million in 2017 – that’s just over 15% of the workforce. 





So in this era of new working patterns, does that demand new ways of thinking about insurance?
