All employees may participate in our world-class online video learning platform from LinkedIn, which features thousands of courses taught by industry experts, ranging from public speaking, to balancing work and personal life, to data science fundamentals.

We encourage employees to pursue master’s degree programs in data science, predictive analytics, statistics, business administration, and other areas of study as well as Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS), Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU), and Insurance Data Management Association (IDMA) designations.

Health and safety

Verisk’s Global Protection Team (GPS) oversees all employee safety policies and procedures, covering building and workplace safety, travel and vehicle safety, physical security, and crisis management. GPS conducts annual physical security assessments for current and proposed Verisk offices to enhance employee safety and build office resiliency.

In the event of a safety or security incident, such as a natural disaster or civil unrest, GPS combines intelligence feeds from private and public sources to assist in timely and holistic preparation, response, and mitigation efforts. This mass communication system enables robust administration and rapid communication with our employees during an emergency.
