🙌 #O7 among the companies who disrupt the insurance industry 🙌 Our CEO Vasileios Stivaktakis talks about - the company's entry into the era of connected vehicles and its collaboration with global leading connecting platforms - and the upcoming Greek Government measure, subsidising insurance telematics policies as a core measure to achieve the reduction of fatal accidents by 50% till 2030, and the significant impact this measure will have, not only in Greece but also throughout EU. With ~630 road fatalities every year, >30% increase in traffic accidents the last 3yrs, and the driver being the main cause (>95%), #Telematics is the only way in solving the enormous problem of Road Safety, today not in decades. Ensuring Safe transportation in our society is not an option, is an obligation for all.   Thank you LiFO (DYO DEKA SA) and Βίκυ Γερασίμου for the great interview   Full text below (in greek) 👇 https://bit.ly/3WTpKCa #interview #RoadSafety #SafeDriving #OSeven  #DrivingForward

This is a game changer. The long-awaited #CSDDD will change the correlation of #sustainability to #CorporateGovernance in a very specific manner: due dilligence obligation for #humanrights and environmental impact. EU is breaking ground again in terms of #ESG regulatory framework. The million-dollar question is how well will this be adopted in the real world of business.

We're thrilled to announce our partnership with Bank of Cyprus insurance companies (Eurolife and Genikes Insurance) for the implementation of electronic signature. Eurolife and Genikes Insurance can now offer their customers in Cyprus an efficient and secure digital signature process, ensuring full data security under applicable legal and regulatory requirements. Minimizing manual tasks, streamlining overall process steps for employees, and enhancing the customer experience were paramount in this initiative. The electronic identification and signing of documents will not only improve the security, efficiency, and data processing of insurance companies but will also provide an enhanced digital experience for end users. The electronic identification and document signing project, launched in November 2023, has been integrated into all new work processes, with plans to expand to other company processes soon. Such partnerships strengthen our commitment to offering innovative, efficient, and integrated solutions that meet the current needs of businesses #electronicsignature #Printec #BankofCyprus #Eurolife #GenikesInsurance #partnership #digialtransformation #OnePrintec #esignature 📌 Read more on our blog here: https://lnkd.in/dYz-kaAb 📌 See the press coverage [in greek] here: https://lnkd.in/d7JewGRZ

With the difficulty of filling vacant positions at record highs, Greece's Beveridge curve seems to be pointing towards an increasingly tight labor market.
