In celebration of NAIDOC Week 2024 we reflect on the rich experiences our teams had across the country last week. In various offices, our people participated in art immersion sessions providing unique insights into First Nations art, highlighting stories of connection to Country, culture, and kinship. Additionally, they also immersed themselves in basket weaving workshops, gaining an appreciation for the cultural significance and heritage of this craft. We extend our gratitude to the talented First Nations artists and creatives from Dalmarri, Wudtjameen, and Jugan Dandii for sharing these traditions with us.   #NAIDOCWeek #Reconciliation #QBEInsurance

QBE is proud to support DV Safe Phone, an organisation dedicated to collecting, repairing, and distributing free mobile phones to people experiencing family violence via front agencies and services. This organisation provides a lifeline for people in crisis, ensuring they can stay connected to their support networks, access resources, and take steps towards a safer future – all whilst recycling old phones.     The initiative at QBE was started by members of its Sustainability Network Felicity Ford - PGDBUS, Elaine Aubrey, Leanne Jensen-Smith and Lauren C., and since then, QBE employees across 11 different offices have collected over 250 old phones to be donated to families in need across Australia.     For someone experiencing family violence, access to a safe phone is vital - learn more about DV Safe Phone and how you can help: https://dvsafephone.org/  

QBE is harnessing geospatial data, AI, and aerial imagery to support the claims experience for commercial customers impacted by severe weather events.    This technology was put to the test in an Australian pilot during Cyclone Jasper in December 2023.    “Having access to geospatial data allowed us to respond more effectively. We were able to assess the impacts immediately, rather than waiting for hydrologist reports,” said Chad Vigar, Head of Property Claims, QBE Australia Pacific.    “Our teams were also able to assess in real-time what resources and trades would be needed to respond effectively and carry out repairs.”    Learn more about the technology behind the pilot: https://lnkd.in/eYUpYBi7     Arron Mann (GAICD), James Orchard, Lynn Thompson, Alex Taylor, Mattias Hallersbo   Image credit: ICEYE #QBEVentures #GeospatialTechnology #AI #Insurtech #Claims
