Technical Assessing has launched an employee share ownership plan, saying the change will make it easier for the loss adjuster to attract and retain high-quality staff. 

The Sydney-based business, which employs more than 50 across seven Australian offices, recently held its first national conference with sessions on strategy, workloads, mentoring, mental health, ownership thinking, branding, cybersecurity and new technologies. 

After a brand review, it has adopted “Talent Chooses Us” as its motto to signal the “calibre of executives they wish to attract”. 

Group MD David Cambridge says securing the right talent provides a “significant competitive advantage,” and so Technical Assessing, which was established in 1986, has made a strategic decision to “double down” on its people. 

“Loss adjusting is a very technical skill and investigations can potentially have significant financial consequences. 

“We want clients to know we’re making a large and ongoing investment in our people so we can deliver the best possible service,” he said. “We look for client centricity, soft skills, attitude, negotiation skills and bigger picture thinking.”
