Key Skills:

Customer service skills:

As claims handlers work directly with people, they require excellent customer service skills. It's their job to guide policyholders through the entire claims process, so it's key that claims advisors are sensitive, calm, and friendly.

Attention to detail:

Much of the claim’s handler role involves reviewing many important documents, so strong attention to detail is necessary. They're responsible for ensuring that each part of the claim is correct, and that the policyholder receives the proper payment.

Organisational skills:

It's essential that a claims advisor has excellent organisational skills as they may work with various types of insurance claims from both individuals and families, so it's important that their paperwork is in order. When a policyholder submits a claim, it's helpful if the claims handler can find their record immediately to review their policy and personal information.

Communication skills:

In addition to communicating key information to policyholders, claims handlers also work with other professionals, including their colleagues and external experts, and instructions when necessary. Therefore, it's important that they possess excellent verbal and written communication skills to communicate clearly and perform their job more efficiently.
