In this episode of the EY CEO Outlook Podcast, Brian Walsh, CEO of Vhi talks with host Richard Curran about leading Vhi, combining business with purpose, and the shift toward digital and community-based healthcare.The career path that Brian Walsh has travelled is testament to the early influence of his parents and childhood.  His mother worked in healthcare and his father in business, and Brian developed deep interest in both fields. These twin passions then converged in 2014 when Brian took a leadership role in Vhi, and today he is “really proud now to be in a role and with a business that marries both healthcare and business”. Being drawn to “travelling the path less travelled', Brian's career has spanned international roles across finance, telecommunications, and food industries, with experience in Hungary, Germany, and the United States. He became CEO of Vhi in 2021, having previously served as CFO. Keenly aware of the unique position that Vhi holds in Irish society, Brian is determined to keep the company purpose and values-led at its core, and to help its members to love longer and stronger and healthier lives. They also discuss:·       Brian's Career Journey: His early life, influence of his parents and global experience that led him to combine business and healthcare.·       Leading with Purpose: Brian talks about the organisation being extremely purpose led and values led. How these clear values help guide decisions and manage different stakeholder needs. ·       Changing Healthcare: How Vhi is using technology and community care to improve healthcare.·       Reinvesting in Membership: How the company reinvests all income to benefit members and improve services·       Brian's views on leadership and his advice for others in management.

To coincide with the release of the latest version of the map, InsTech.ie conducted a survey of Irish Insurtechs to gain a better understanding of the landscape in Ireland and learn more about how it can support them to scale and encourage better, stronger collaboration across the ecosystem. On receiving the report Minister for State at the Department of Finance, Neale Richmond said, "Innovation in the Insurtech sector has the potential to pass on huge benefits to customers. Ireland hosts all of the world's top 10 global software companies and 11 of the top 15 global insurers. With a strong track record in both insurance and technology, Ireland has all of the elements to create a powerful cluster of insurance innovation and is a natural hub for the next wave of disruptive Insurtech firms. This InsTech report gives us a framework to explore the opportunities." On the launch of the report InsTech.ie CEO Gary Leyden said, "We have seen huge growth in the number and funding of Insurtech startups in Ireland and it has the potential to be a global centre for insurance innovation . The main finding of the survey this year is that there is an acknowledgement between incumbents and startups in the insurance sector that they can work together to a greater extent and have an increasing appetite to do so. This has the potential to deliver better experiences to consumers. " Leyden added, "InsTech.ie will be the forum to encourage greater innovation and we will be announcing more initiatives to support incumbents and startups collaborate and innovate together in the coming months." Some key findings of the survey in the report include: Background of Founders: 39% of founders came from an insurance background. Interestingly, a greater number of respondents stated that they came from a non-financial services background. Ambition: 90 percent Insurtech startups are seeking to enter into new markets. Challenges: Founders listed "resistance to change" as the main barriers to implementing technological innovations in the insurance industry. Potential for innovation: 68.7percent of stakeholders surveyed said emerging technologies (e.g., AI, blockchain) were "essential for innovation and growth." Ireland has witnessed a range of successful startup ventures, with the Irish Insurtech cluster being led by Fineos. Fast-growing companies such as Kota and DOCOsoft are also providing crucial technological solutions for the insurance industry. Working with their large incumbent members and these startups InsTech.ie aims to accelerate further collaboration and innovation in the industry.

Vhi has released new health and wellbeing insights generated from 50,000 free self-service health checks over a two-year period. The on-the-spot health assessment stations provided at workplaces and other sites across the country, in partnership with Sisu Health, measure blood pressure, body mass index, and perceived stress, as well as screening for diabetes and cardiovascular risks. Participating users can subsequently benefit from lifestyle advice on a range of health issues through an integrated portal, with signposting provided to GPs in cases of identified health risks. Since the re-introduction of the Vhi health checks scheme in September 2022, over 40,000 members of Vhi corporate health schemes have actively monitored their health and wellbeing using the mobile self-service health stations, which visited 540 workplace locations and sites nationwide. Since the introduction of the health check stations that more than 9,000 people were recommended to contact their GP following a health assessment. These referrals encourage early intervention in cases of health risk and help to reduce the likelihood of developing chronic illness. More than half of those who used the health stations (21,000) had not received a blood pressure check in the past 12 months prior to screening, with 14.3% of those assessed recording high blood pressure. Other insights include: 16% of all participants recorded high blood pressure, with 49% of all men measuring 'at risk' to high. 2002 Health checks triggered a 'GP call to action' for high blood pressure (140/90) and or high BMI (35+). 16% of participants indicated that they are a smoker, a little under the 18% national average as published by the HSE. Professor Charlie Foster, Head of Population Health, Vhi, said: "Investing in the health and wellbeing of employees is crucial in building happier and healthier workplaces. That's why we're delighted to reach this major milestone in the use of our health check services. Encouraging team employees and members to actively monitor and look after their health through regular checks can drastically reduce the risk of developing chronic illnesses such as diabetes or heart disease. Benefits are also seen by employers who see happier, healthier and stronger employees alongside real costs savings in reductions in the impacts of smoking and poor mental health. "By providing quick and easy access to health checks in workplaces and other sites around the country, we're empowering members to identify and address health risks early on and help them to achieve better health outcomes. This is one of the many ways in which Vhi is driving innovation in how healthcare is delivered and helping our members live longer, stronger and happier lives." Jez Styles, Director of Growth, SisU Health, said: "We are delighted to have reached this milestone through our partnership with Vhi. Given the increasing burden of chronic cardiovascular and metabolic health conditions on global healthcare systems, it is important that new technology should be accessible, convenient and deployed strategically. SiSU believes that people should be able to access health checks in places where they live their lives, with workplaces presenting a prime opportunity for Vhi's members to identify developing or undiagnosed conditions." Vhi provides an extensive range of corporate health and wellness services to support healthier and more productive workforces. Corporate health programmes can be tailor designed to ensure the evolving needs of employees are met and include access to mental health supports and holistic wellness programmes focusing on resilience, sleep, nutrition and movement.

On this week's Inside Business with Ciarán Hancock we look at Aviva's plan to re-enter the Irish health insurance market and what that might mean for consumers. Will this deliver lower prices for hard pressed Irish consumers? Will it bring additional benefits in coverage? And is worth the hassle to switch for customers of VHI, Laya and Irish Life Health? To get some answers to these questions and more, Ciarán is joined on the podcast by Dermot Goode of Totalcover.ie, a Locktons Company, and an expert on Irish health insurance. Also on the podcast, the Government published its Stability Programme Update. This is an update of budgetary forecasts provided to the European Union.

The Missouri Valley Conference's Defensive Player of the Year goes one-on-one with VHI's Harry Schroeder.

Great news and Great Lakes! We show off our new VHI device and hear from Retail VP, Jarrett Dawson.

Today I am joined by Dr Jenny Linders from Skincheck Clinic in Bayside, Jenny, under the guidance of Dr Steve Karagiannis, a fellow of the skin cancer institute, who spends most of their time doing melanoma surveillance in their five clinics dotted around Dublin. I have spent a considerable amount of my time campaigning for more awareness in this arena, as it sometimes feels that despite applying copious amounts of SPF, skin cancer continues to be the fastest-growing cancer in the world. We, as an industry, need to do more. My team and I have gone into schools to educate the next generation of parents, and I have worked with VHI on a corporate level, raising awareness and educating people. This is the only way to soften the curve, in my opinion. A podcast episode dedicated to what more we can do is a natural next step. For more information on Skin Check or to make an appointment to see Jenny, Steve, and their team, heads to https://www.skincheck.ie/contact-us. Thank you so much to Jenny for giving up her time to be with us today, and please share this episode amongst friends and family, and together, we will make a positive change for our children.

Heather and Jameson are again joined by guest star and trivia king Eddie Jones (who's essentially the third co-host at this point) as they talk about Pop Up Video this week! Pop Up Video is an actual music program that ran on MTV's sister station, VHI, which focused on the “softer side” of pop music before turning to the dark side of reality television. Heather, Jameson, and Eddie watch a bunch of Pop Up Videos with their delicious “info nuggets”.  Jameson finds a way to connect Spice Girls to that survivalist show he loves. The trio try to figure out which came first, Lisa Loeb or Daria? Eddie offers a Yelp review for various Cameos (we're looking at you, Lance Bass). Jameson shares his magic podcasting tips to grab music from YouTube, follow him for more pirating hacks. Heather appreciates all the info nuggets about nipples in Madonna's music video for Vogue. And the trio offer up their own info nuggets that would play for their music videos. By the way, listeners, you're not losing your mind, March Madness is indeed over.
