Calls for companies to provide climate-related financial disclosure are growing.

While insurance solutions cannot eliminate every risk, they can serve as an important tool for at-risk or failed banks, their client companies and firms providing professional auditing, legal or other services to those banks.

Reflections from Sam Dimond, Global Director on Oliver Wyman's Knowledge Services team:
I hesitated to share this personal story on World Mental Health Day. However, I truly believe that it is important for senior leaders to share our mental health experiences if we are to break the stigma attached. So I’m writing today’s post in the hope that others won’t feel they suffer alone, or that they are somehow strange or different.
I have felt anxious for as long as I can remember. Sometimes that meant that I believed I was bad at everything or not likeable. This didn’t start overnight, but think it got much worse after becoming a father.
Over the next few years there was too often an inner voice that grew louder and louder, making everything seem worse than it really was. In truth, I was excelling in many areas of my life and work and really fortunate, but there was a real danger that that voice was going to ruin everything and stop me seeing things as they really were.
Things came to a head when I got into a vicious spiral of falling asleep every night exhausted but then waking up at 3am, worrying about the days ahead and not being able to getback to sleep.
It is just a really difficult moment for healthcare all over the world. Many hospitals are doing their best to ensure that healthcare workers have good support through mental health interventions. However, this is something that is a bit more existential than we're used to dealing with.Gisele Norris, Managing Director, US National Healthcare Practice, լи
Pilots, Pivots and Potential - The State of Aviation
This year's report from Oliver Wyman outlines major macro-economic trends, the impact of the geo-political situation with the war in Ukraine and carrier recovery efforts in light of labor tightness and fuel cost escalation.
This year's report from Oliver Wyman outlines major macro-economic trends, the impact of the geo-political situation with the war in Ukraine and carrier recovery efforts in light of labor tightness and fuel cost escalation.
In early 2021, Oliver Wyman forecast an imminent pilot shortage on the horizon. It seemed an incredible prediction at the time given the state of aviation, which had been almost grounded the year before by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Yet, with the rebound in air travel demand in 2021 and 2022,the lack of pilots quickly became apparent, starting in North America where the shortage is being most acutely felt. Our latest model, in part based on the Global Fleet & MRO Forecast 2022-2032,expects the region to face a shortfall of 8,000 pilots in 2022, about 11% of the total. That gap will grow to more than 29,000 by the end of the decade.
Absent a downturn in future demand and industry efforts to bolster the supply of pilots, travelers should anticipate continued near-term cancellations and delays until airlines are better able to accommodate traffic with scaled-back flight schedules. These would more accurately reflect the size of the pilot workforce and are likely to involve further reductions in service to smaller markets.
Rising inflation is compounding the impact of the pandemic across the aviation industry. Usually inflationary pressures dampen leisure travel, but the leisure-led recovery continues to be strong as people prioritize experiences and take advantage of the summer travel season. The boom has come with some difficult-to-solve complications that are preventing airlines from fully capitalizing on the comeback.
For carriers,escalating costs are putting additional pressures on the industry just as it is rebounding back. Additionally, workforce availability woes abound and have airlines pulling capacity out of the market so they can more reliably operate their schedules. Unfortunately, traveler experiences have been negatively impacted for many, and these labor shortages extend well beyond just the airline and into the airport, hospitality, and restaurant industries.
Volume four of The Inflation Shift examines how inflation is shaping the three big cost categories for the aviation industry – labor, fuel, and maintenance - and what consumers can expect from airlines in the coming months.
