by 5 member team and the entire task was divided into sub- tasks. The process started from

identifying the need, then advertising the same to prospective individuals by distribution of

pamphlets, holding various activities in residential areas etc. then individuals were surveyed. The

questionnaire was designed in such a manner that it gave a general idea about the ability and

capability of respondent as a prospective life insurance advisor. Certain scores were allotted

Insurance industry

Insurance industry is a booming sector. The business of insurance is related to the protection of

the economic value of asset. Every asset has a value. The asset would have been created through

the efforts of the owner, in the expectation that, either through the income generated there from

or some other output, some of his needs would be met. There is a normally expected life time for

the asset during which time it is expected to perform. Insurance is a mechanism that helps to

reduce such as adverse consequences.

WHAT IS INSURANCE?

Basic aim of the insurance plan satisfies the following objectives:-

Protection of economic value of assets.

Mechanism to reduce impact of adverse events on value generating assets.

Types of insurance

Insurance is generally classified into three main categories:

1. Life Insurance.

2. Health Insurance.

3. General Insurance.

through Insurance agent of the concerned company or through intermediaries.

Page 7: Recruitment and Team Building of Life Advisors in Bharti Axa Life Insurance

Life insurance or life assurance is a contract between the policy owner and the insurer, where

the insurer agrees to pay a sum of money upon the occurrence of the insured individual's or

individuals' death or other event, such as terminal illness or critical illness. In return, the policy

owner agrees to pay a stipulated amount called a premium at regular intervals or in lump sums.

There may be designs in some countries where bills and death expenses plus catering for after

funeral expenses should be included in Policy Premium.

. The functions of Insurance can be bifurcated into two parts:1. Primary Functions

2. Secondary Functions

3. Other Functions

The primary functions of insurance include the following:Provide Protection - The primary function of insurance is to provide protection against future

risk, accidents and uncertainty. Insurance cannot check the happening of the risk, but can

certainly provide for the losses of risk. Insurance is actually a protection against economic loss,

by sharing the risk with others.

Collective bearing of risk - Insurance is a device to share the financial loss of few among many

others. Insurance is a mean by which few losses are shared among larger number of people. All

the insured contribute the premiums towards a fund and out of which the persons exposed to a

particular risk is paid.

Assessment of risk - Insurance determines the probable volume of risk by evaluating various

factors that give rise to risk. Risk is the basis for determining the premium rate also

Provide Certainty - Insurance is a device, which helps to change from uncertainty to certainty.

Insurance is device whereby the uncertain risks may be made more certain.

The secondary functions of insurance include the following:

Prevention of Losses - Insurance cautions individuals and businessmen to adopt suitable device

to prevent unfortunate consequences of risk by observing safety instructions; installation of

automatic sparkler or alarm systems, etc. Prevention of losses causes lesser payment to the

assured by the insurer and this will encourage for more savings by way of premium. Reduced

rate of premiums stimulate for more business and better protection to the insured.

Small capital to cover larger risks - Insurance relieves the businessmen from security

investments, by paying small amount of premium against larger risks and uncertainty.

institutions may be prepared to give credit to sick industrial units which have insured their assets

including plant and machinery.

The other functions of insurance include the following:

Means of savings and investment - Insurance serves as savings and investment, insurance is a

compulsory way of savings and it restricts the unnecessary expenses by the insured's For the

purpose of availing income-tax exemptions also, people invest in insurance.

Brief History of the Insurance Sector in India

9 | P a g e

Page 10: Recruitment and Team Building of Life Advisors in Bharti Axa Life Insurance

The business of life insurance in India in its existing form started in India in the year 1818 with

the establishment of the Oriental Life Insurance Company in Calcutta. 

The story of insurance is probably as old as the story of mankind. The same instinct that prompts

modern businessmen today to secure themselves against loss and disaster existed in primitive

men also. They too sought to avert the evil consequences of fire and flood and loss of life and

were willing to make some sort of sacrifice in order to achieve security. Though the concept of

insurance is largely a development of the recent past, particularly after the industrial era – past

few centuries – yet its beginnings date back almost 6000 years.

Life Insurance in its modern form came to India from England in the year 1818. Oriental Life

Insurance Company started by Europeans in Calcutta was the first life insurance company on

Indian Soil. All the insurance companies established during that period were brought up with the

purpose of looking after the needs of European community and these companies were not

insuring Indian natives.

Bombay Mutual Life Assurance Society heralded the birth of first Indian life insurance

company in the year 1870, and covered Indian lives at normal rates.

Bharat Insurance Company (1896) was also one of such companies inspired by

nationalism. The Swadeshi movement of 1905-1907 gave rise to more insurance

companies.

The United India in Madras, National Indian and National Insurance in Calcutta and the

Co-operative Assurance at Lahore were established in 1906.

In 1907, Hindustan Co-operative Insurance Company took its birth in one of the rooms of

the Jorasanko, house of the great poet Rabindranath Tagore, in Calcutta.

The Indian Mercantile, General Assurance and Swadeshi Life (later Bombay Life) were

some of the companies established during the same period.

The Parliament of India passed the Life Insurance Corporation Act on the 19th of June

1956, and the Life Insurance Corporation of India was created on 1st September, 1956,

with the objective of spreading life insurance much more widely and in particular to the rural

areas with a view to reach all insurable persons in the country, providing them adequate financial

cover at a reasonable cost.

Some of the important milestones in the life insurance business in India are:

10 | P a g e

Page 11: Recruitment and Team Building of Life Advisors in Bharti Axa Life Insurance

1850Non life insurance debuts with triton insurance company. 1870 Bombay mutual life

assurance society is the first Indian owned life insurer.

1912 The Indian Life Assurance Companies Act enacted as the first statute to regulate the life

insurance business.

1928  The Indian Insurance Companies Act enacted to enable the government to collect

statistical information about both life and non-life insurance businesses.

1938 Earlier legislation consolidated and amended to by the Insurance Act with the objective

of protecting the interests of the insuring public.

1956 245 Indian and foreign insurers and provident societies taken over by the central

government and nationalized. LIC formed by an Act of Parliament, viz. LIC Act, 1956, with a

capital contribution of Rs. 5 Crore from the Government of India.

Insurance sector reforms

In 1993, Malhotra Committee, headed by former Finance Secretary and RBI Governor R. N.

Malhotra, was formed to evaluate the Indian insurance industry and recommend its future

direction. 

  

The Malhotra committee was set up with the objective of complementing the reforms initiated in

the financial sector. The reforms were aimed at “creating a more efficient and competitive

financial system suitable for the requirements of the economy keeping in mind the

structural changes currently underway and recognizing that insurance is an important

part of the overall financial system where it was necessary to address the need for similar

reforms…”.

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA)

11 | P a g e

Page 12: Recruitment and Team Building of Life Advisors in Bharti Axa Life Insurance

The Insurance Act, 1938 had provided for setting up of the Controller of Insurance to act as a

strong and powerful supervisory and regulatory authority for insurance. Post nationalization, the

role of Controller of Insurance diminished considerably in significance since the Government

owned the insurance companies.

  

But the scenario changed with the private and foreign companies foraying in to the insurance

sector. This necessitated the need for a strong, independent and autonomous Insurance

Regulatory Authority was felt. As the enacting of legislation would have taken time, the then

Government constituted through a Government resolution an Interim Insurance Regulatory

Authority pending The enactment of a comprehensive legislation.

  

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority Act, 1999 is an act to provide for the

establishment of an Authority to protect the interests of holders of insurance policies, to regulate,

promote and ensure orderly growth of the insurance industry and for matters connected therewith

or incidental thereto and further to amend the Insurance Act, 1938, the Life Insurance

Corporation Act, 1956 and the General insurance Business (Nationalization) Act, 1972 to end the

monopoly of the Life Insurance Corporation of India (for life insurance business) and General

Insurance Corporation and its subsidiaries (for general insurance business).

ROLE OF INSURANCE IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

12 | P a g e

Page 13: Recruitment and Team Building of Life Advisors in Bharti Axa Life Insurance

Insurance directly or indirectly plays a vital role in the economic development of the country

through the following means:-

Life insurance is a major instrument in mobilizing the savings of the people. These

savings are channeled into investments for economic groups.

The strength of life insurance is in the fact that huge amounts are collected and pooled

together for the benefit of the policy holders.

The insurance company is in the role of fiduciary- that all decision be made for the

benefit of the community.

MAJOR PLAYERS IN THE LIFE INSURANCEMAJOR PLAYERS IN THE LIFE INSURANCE

INDUSTRY IN INDIAINDUSTRY IN INDIA

Page 22: Recruitment and Team Building of Life Advisors in Bharti Axa Life Insurance

IN ADDITION TO ABOVE STATE INSURERS THE FOLLOWING HAVE BEEN

PERMITTED TO ENTER INTO INSURANCE BUSINESS: -

The introduction of private players in the industry has added to the colors in the dull industry.

The initiatives taken by the private players are very competitive and have given immense

competition to the on time monopoly of the market LIC. Since the advent of the private players

in the market the industry has seen new and innovative steps taken by the players in this sector.

The new players have improved the service quality of the insurance. As a result LIC down the

years have seen the declining phase in its career. The market share was distributed among the

private players. Though LIC still holds the 75% of the insurance sector but the upcoming natures

of these private players are enough to give more competition to LIC in the near future. LIC

market share has decreased from 95% (2002-03) to 70 %( 2007-08)

The recruitment process that we have gone through in our project period

31 | P a g e

Page 32: Recruitment and Team Building of Life Advisors in Bharti Axa Life Insurance

As a project trainee in Bharti AXA Life Insurance Co. I have been assigned the job of recruiting

financial advisor. So I have undergone a short-term training by the company and about the

recruitment process and the various products of the company. Recruitment refers to the various

segment of the society. So I went to the market and searched people from different profile to

recruit them as Life Advisor in Bharti AXA Life Insurance Co. As per the company philosophy

and values a Life Advisor must posses the following three vital things- Time, Attitude and

Confidence.

Now what is more important to now be who is a financial advisor, how important is he to a company, what recruitment is and what are the sources of recruiting financial advisor.

The life, pension and investment industry has undergone dramatic changes over the past decade. Longer life expectancy and the desire to retire before state pension age have increased public awareness of financial services markets. These changes have created a marketplace where customers are more discerning and regulatory requirements more stringent. 

The emphasis is switching away from 'selling' towards providing quality advice. This is partly due to an increased percentage of individuals sitting industry-recognized exams such as the Certificate in Financial Planning (formerly the FPC).

What is a Life Adviser?  

A life adviser is a broker or intermediary authorized to sell or advise on the policies of life insurance and financial products, such as unit trusts. Typical examples of companies which employ financial advisers are banks, insurance and life companies, general brokers, estate agents and building societies. Life Advice is given in the following areas:

Direct sales

Tied sales

Independent financial advice

Banc assurance sales

Advisers in direct and tied sales are only permitted to sell their own company's products, whereas independent financial advisers (IFAs) sell a variety of different products from different suppliers. The latter role is diverse as you are more likely to be exposed to a wider variety of people, situations and competitors.

The ability to build effective relationships with clients and colleagues holds the key to success as do first-class communication and commercial awareness skills. A financial adviser fined their contacts through networking, cold calling, referrals, advertising and publicity, database marketing and through face-to-face contact. The role of Life Adviser usually revolves around targets.

32 | P a g e

Page 33: Recruitment and Team Building of Life Advisors in Bharti Axa Life Insurance

The sales aspect has taken a more advisory route. Legislation now stipulates that every quote produced must include a breakdown of how the client's money is to be spent. This includes the percentage allocated to the financial sales adviser.

Generally, there are three routes that the Life Adviser can take: he or she can work on a self-employed, commission-only or salary plus bonus basis. An IFA with five years' plus experience working in London and the South East could reasonably expect to earn as much as £55,000 per year.

Professional qualifications

The changes within the industry, and the rigid regulatory bodies that have clamped down on practices have meant that it is now longer as easy to get into the industry as it was previously. The Certificate in Financial Planning provides a broad-based grounding in the financial services market, covering regulatory aspects, products, fact-finds and giving advice.

A typical career path for a young professional interested in a career in financial advice is to both start on the administration side and move into a trainee sales role. Once becoming a fully-fledged financial adviser in a specialized area such as direct sales, tied sales or banc assurance, and having completed two or three years as a professional, you may want to recommend all products. You would then become an IFA and your career path could take on a managerial position or you could go into partnership.

The key messages emanating from industry professionals are as follows:

Be flexible and open-minded

Be prepared to put in the hours for exams

The first few years are long and hard - you must persevere

Maintain a sense of humor throughout

After knowing about the Life Advisor let see what is recruitment and various sources of recruitment.

Recruitment is the process of attracting qualified applicants for a specific job. The process begins when applications are brought in and ends when the same is finished. The result is a pool of applicants, from where the appropriate candidate can be selected.

Recruitment is the process of attracting prospective employees and stimulating them for applying job in organization recruitment is the process of hiring the right kinds of candidates on the right job.

commission. It is less than that of the commission and differs from policy to policy which it sells

to the customers.

Bonus: - Some of the policy during its growth accumulates some bonus e.g. some of the money

back plans. This gives extra benefits to the customers in terms of money and the agent in terms

of bonus. An extra benefit which Bharti AXA gives to its agent. No other life insurance company

gives this benefit to its advisors. Performance Linked Bonus(PLB)is counted quarterly. In the 1st

quarter i.e in Jan, Feb and Mar, if the commission is generated Rs.20,000 then the agent is able

to get 30% of it that is 6000 as the PLB. Similarly the agents get commission after each three

month gap and an yearly bonus of 10% to 40% depending upon his performance.

Quarterly Gift:-It is also an extra benefit that is given to the advisors based on the performance.

REASEARCH METHDOLOGY

Research methodology is a way to systematically solve the research problem. It may be

understood as a science of studying how research is done. We can say that research methodology

has many dimensions and research methods do constitute a part of the research methodology.

The study of research methodology gives the student the necessary training in gathering material

and arranging or car-indexing them, participation in field work when required, and also training

in techniques for the collection of data appropriate to particular problem, in the use of statistics,

questionnaires and controlled experimentation and in recording evidences, sorting it out and

interpreting it. Knowledge of research methodology plays a key role in project work. It consists

of series of actions or steps necessary to effectively carry out research and the desired

sequencing of these steps.

Data Collection Method

Data can be collected by Primary as well as secondary method.

Primary Data Sources

Primary data were collected through a well structured questionnaire designed separately for

consumers. A pilot survey was conducted to test the utility of the questionnaire and necessary

changes being made.

Questionnaire Designed: Questionnaire was used for the survey.

Secondary Data Sources

61 | P a g e

Page 62: Recruitment and Team Building of Life Advisors in Bharti Axa Life Insurance

The secondary data sources were collected from the company manuals, handbooks, and

management books and are edited to suite the purpose.

RESEARCH DESIGN

Exploratory type of research designs adopted because sources of information are relatively few

and the purpose is merely to find and to understand the possible actions. The major purposes of

exploratory study are:

Identification of problem

The precise formulation of problems including the identification of variables

Formulation of alternative course of action

An exploratory research is often the first in the series of projects that culminates in one

concerned with the drawing of inferences that are used as a basis of monetary action. Exploratory

study is often used as a introductory phase of a larger study and results are used in developing

specific technique for larger study. Of the study the relevant questionnaire was prepared and

circulated among a stratified sample of 50 employees of BHARTI AXA LIFE INSURANCE

COMPANY LTD.. This questionnaire formed the basis for the views on each of the points raised

Sample Design

Sampling technique:

Stratified sampling technique is adopted to conduct the research. Stratified purposive sapling is a

selection method for achieving a greater degree of representatives, therefore decreasing the

probable sampling error. It is based on the concept that a homogeneous population produces

samples with smaller sampling errors than does a heterogeneous population. Stratified sampling

is accomplished by placing all the members of the population into groups according to some

characteristics that is common among them, that is homogeneous subsets of the population. Then

specified number of unit is chosen from each of the groups or strata by purposive means.

Sampling Plans

The sampling plan consists of sampling units, e.g. from functional departments namely

Marketing, Commercial, Technical and Human Resource. These employees constitute the

manpower in the company who are engaged in the day to day functioning of the company, thus it

is very important for them to understand the various aspects of the entire selection process.

Therefore, they had been selected for the project sampling

The major findings are:1. The Individuals finally selected as Life advisors constitute

1.23% of Sample size.2. 60% of the Individuals who underwent the training cleared the

exam.3. 1.840% of the individuals who wanted to make extra money

could finally be selected for the Job.

CONCLUSIONAs we know that 7.5% of the peoples are insured that means rest 92.5% of the people are still

living without insured. It means insurance industry is still in growth stage. But when we go to

recruit life advisors of Bharti AXA most of the people did not agree because their view was that

no body is ready to invest in insurance. It is totally wrong perception of some of the peoples. One

important question arises in my mind is that if more than 90% of the Indian People are not

insured so why people are not interested to be an advisors? The reason is that 70% of the peoples

of India are living in rural areas and the awareness of private insurance company in rural market

is very poor. But, it was found that the questionnaire and interview questions, employee manual

were sufficient to obtain the information required to analyze the process of requirement within

the organization. It has been found that the organization has a sound understanding of what

process need to be used in order to achieve effective recruitment of Life advisors . In

addition to this, there are several recommendations for the organization.

For any firm to be successful the main objectives should be:

Sustainable long-term growth,

Stable income and

Asset preservation;

Need to emphasize quality and diversification in both equity and fixed income asset

classes.

Focus should be on long-term consistent investment performance.

Emphasis towards training and enhancing skills of recruiters needs to be more.

Invest more in current staff than in Recruitment:

Conduct internal audit.

Be Creative

Understand and manage salary:

.

The general perception of life insurance has to change in India before progress is made in

this field.

RECOMMENDATION1: In the 2 years of existence in the market it has created a sensation by introducing its most

profitable Unit-Linked Plans and products. The insurer needs to concentrate to make its products

and company much more aware among the public to change the mindset of the people and attract

them towards insurance sector. This can make the recruitment of the potential advisors very well.

To create the awareness among the people, the following methods could be adopted:

It needs to conduct awareness programmers, campaigns and publish news about the

company, products and attributes to position it in the customer’s mind. The company

should timely communicate through media to make the relationship stronger.

73 | P a g e

Page 74: Recruitment and Team Building of Life Advisors in Bharti Axa Life Insurance

Another way of creating awareness about the presence of insurer is by placing hoardings

and posters in the traffic areas and market complexes to attract the attention of the people.

The awareness through the Television is another medium. Though it advertises its product

but it should forecast itself on the channel which the maximum of people use like

Doordarshan or advertising through regional channels.

The company restricts itself from making any branch offices as it believes in the

philosophy of “one family”. Hence more awareness can be created by establishing more

branch and subsidiaries in the urban as well as rural areas. It can create much more

awareness among the common people also.

The above discussed methods could be helpful to create awareness and thus can attract more

people to be its customers as well as to be a good life advisor. But for this the recruitment

standard and the recruitment policy should be a good one.

2: The fee charged from candidates as application money should be waved off. It should

rather be paid by the Insurance Company.

3: The strict training schedule should be made flexible. For a person who is Q4 or Q5 on

score it is difficult for him/ her to be able to come for training especially in case when he/ she

is already working.

4: The incentive system should be more attractive to motivate more and more people for

becoming Life Advisors.

5: There is need to have in place a properly managed performance appraisal system even for

life advisors that would contribute to effective retention of personnel.

6: The organization should use E- Recruitment in the process of recruiting life advisors. It is

the use of technology to assist the recruitment process. They advertise job vacancies through

worldwide web. The job seekers send their applications or curriculum vitae i.e. CV through e

mail using the Internet. Alternatively job seekers place their CV’s in worldwide web, which

can be drawn by prospective employees depending upon their requirements.

7: The organization should use POACHING/Reading methods of recruitment. It means

employing a competent and experienced person already working with another reputed

74 | P a g e

Page 75: Recruitment and Team Building of Life Advisors in Bharti Axa Life Insurance

company in the same or different industry; the organization might be a competitor in the

industry.

Bharti AXA life insurance has innovative Unit Linked Plans with more flexible options

which differentiates it from other insurer. But due to the lack of awareness it does not penetrate

easily into the market. To ensure success at the local and national level, it is vital to create

awareness about its product and the benefits provided by the respective products. Hence the

above recommendations would help the company to create the awareness. This will bring the

company higher visibility, and that will bring more success to the company.
