  • Attention to Detail : Being thorough and precise in completing tasks, double-checking work, and ensuring accuracy in client and policy information.
  • Integrity : Maintaining confidentiality, adhering to company protocols, and acting ethically in all interactions.
  • Adaptability : Being open to shifting priorities, quickly learning new systems or tasks, and remaining composed in unfamiliar or dynamic situations.
  • Resilience : Showing perseverance when faced with difficulties, maintaining a positive attitude during busy times, and recovering quickly from mistakes or obstacles.
