THE CUSTOMER...
A customer is the most important visitor on our premises; he is not
dependent on us, we are dependent on him. He is not an interruption in
our work, he is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business, he
is part of it. We are not doing him a favor by serving him, he is doing us
a favor by giving us an opportunity to do so.

the 2014 Annual Insurance Awards. In addition, we were awarded
best Company of the Year (COYA) in Financial Management and
Human Resources; best Individual Pension Scheme and 1st runner
up Pension Administrator of the year, by Think Business. The IT

Muritu, who was awarded best IT Manager by the Information
Communication Technology Association of Kenya. This is a clear
indication of the level of competence and quality of our members
of staff. To them I say with pride; well done!
Editor’s Note
Happy happy 2015! I hope you are
rejuvenated and ready to take on the New
Year. More importantly, review your goals
both personal and professional, and work
towards achieving them. The Jubilation team
is excited to keep you updated as always
and this time we bring you emerging risks in
the insurance industry in Africa, catastrophies
that are only known to happen beyond the
continent. Read on how flash floods affected
our Jubilee Burundi office in 2014.
Last year, the business units across the region did well compared
to the competition and it is expected that we shall maintain our
number one position in 2015 as was the case in 2014.
Early last year, we finalised the remodelling of our Mombasa
Business Complex. I am happy to announce that this year; we have
officially opened the Jubilee Holdings office at Jubilee Centre, on
the eighth floor in Nairobi.
We are also remodeling the Jubilee Centre in Kampala, Uganda
and also constructing a 21 story apartment block off Shimoni
Road in Kampala. In addition, we are putting up a 10 story office
complex and a multi-floor parking bay in Kinondoni, Tanzania
which will serve as our corporate headquarters in Tanzania.
I encourage each one of you to put your best foot forward and
uphold Jubilee’s values in our service delivery. Let’s aim to achieve
excellent customer experience as the next level of delivering our
promise. Let’s put our customer above everything else – let them be
No. 1 in everything we do!
Wish you all a bountiful 2015!
Chairman, Nizar Juma
We have also highlighted a few ways in which Kenyans spent the
December holiday and believe you me; they are indeed a peculiar lot.
The Jubilee Kenya Pensions team has also encouraged us to save our
hard earned money more than we spend it, old age is inescapable! Team
Mauritius had their teambuilding by the beach, don’t we all want that? HR
please take note. Jubilee Tanzania launches BimaAFYA and Lady Jubilee
as Jubilee Uganda goes big on CSR.
On I am Jubilee, meet JICK’s new kids on the block, and I must say they
are doing well for themselves. Their ‘mum’ Ruth Kyengo must be very
proud of them. Please meet the only doctor at JICK and find out exactly
what he does and on our Etiquette Check page, see how to deal with
different personalities at work for Man Must Live remember! The Jubilation
team wishes you a happy and prosperous 2015. Feel free to send us
your comments or articles for the Jubilation. Enjoy your read!

EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE
INSURANCE INDUSTRY
Climate change is altering weather patterns and causing an increase
in the intensity and frequency of adverse weather conditions globally.
Severe weather phenomena vary depending on the latitude, altitude,
topography, and atmospheric conditions of a place. High winds, hail,
excessive precipitation, and wildfires are forms and effects of severe
weather, as are thunderstorms, downbursts, lightning, tornadoes,
waterspouts, tropical cyclones, and extra tropical cyclones. Regional
and seasonal severe weather phenomena include blizzards,
snowstorms, ice storms, and dust storms.
JOVIALE STUDIES DUE TO
EDUCATION INSURANCE
Her name is Joviale Izigire and she is an intern at the Jubilee
Insurance Company of Burundi.
She is a living proof of the importance of Education Insurance
because her University Studies were funded by the Education
Insurance.
These have affected different industries and the insurance industry
has not been left out. Climate change can affect a policy holder’s
insurable assets thus creating risks to both movable and immovable
property and one of the issues for insurers is how to underwrite the
additional risks that climate change brings.
In 2013, a hailstorm occurred in Gauteng, South Africa with Santam
reportedly receiving more than 2,000 claims with an estimated value
of R60 million. In 2014, Burundi experienced an unprecedented flash
flood killing more than 70 people and leaving over 20,000 people
homeless. Businesses and factory premises were also not spared,
some of which were insured by Jubilee Burundi. “The damage was
devastating for our clients but we kept our promise and helped them
get back on their feet by settling their claims as fast as we could.” said
Jubilee Burundi CEO, Denis Huyberechts.
Climate change can also impact the sustainability of the insurance
industry. The availability of insurance is premised upon two factors,
being the ability of the insurance industry to finance the risk and
second, the expectation that the insurance underwritten will be
profitable. Climate change can therefore pose a financial threat to
the industry management, and understanding of its effect on insurable
assets are crucial in ensuring the future sustainability of the insurance
industry. Climate change should not be ignored or underestimated
and will inevitably lead to change both for the insurer and the insured.

Gabin Sungura (Life Business Development Officer) trains Joviale Izigire.
She has a degree in Business Administration and Management
from Uganda Martyrs University.
I thank Gabin Sungura currently BDO - Life Department in JICB
who prepared my contract 8 years ago, and now trains my
daughter Joviale, her father said: “One of the girls that you have
insured is with you. She has just passed her final year; she will
graduate in November 2014,” he added.
Joviale says:
‘My university studies have been possible because of the wise
initiative of my father who took up Education Insurance for me.
Currently I am doing my internship at the Jubilee Insurance
Company of Burundi and I am passionate in Marketing and
Management, I am learning a lot in insurance. I am considering
a career in insurance.
I would encourage parents concerned about better education
for their children, to take up Education Insurance policies with
Jubilee Insurance.
My dreams came true, thanks to my dad’.
Viva Education Insurance!

JUBILEE KENYA PENSIONS ENCOURAGES
STAFF TO EMBRACE A SAVING CULTURE
Saving money is ranked as one of those “wise” things that we
resolve to do as we make our New Year resolutions. The impetus
to save ranges from the need to buy a car, move into a better
house, or build a home among others. The desire to save may
also be driven by the need to enroll in school at various levels,
building emergency funds or for investment purposes. In extremely
rare situations, there are those who have no choice but to save
because their income greatly exceeds their expenditure.
According to Jubilee Insurance Head of Pensions David Ogega,
there is a significant amount of money that passes through our
hands , most of it being spent on recurring expenses and none or
little on savings. A saving culture is partly supported by increased
employment rates and incomes as well as reduced costs of living
in developed economies. “In developing economies like Kenya’s
where we are struggling with unemployment and inflation, we have
to exercise self-discipline in order to reduce our expenditure and
save a substantial amount of our income for investment,” said David.
Kenyans’ life expectancy rate has improved to 63 years due to
better health care and improved living standards. Family support
is reducing and people will be more independent in retirement as
opposed to the African practice a where family took care of their
parents at old age. For this reason, it is advisable to set aside a
fund that will support you in old age.

Business. The Insurer was also runner up Administrator of the Year.
HOW FAST WE FORGET!
Jubilee Kenya staff underwent a comprehensive free health check up
in the office during the wellness week and resolutions were made
especially at the weighing scale. There was increased subscription to
the Oasis gym, the water dispensers in the office run dry more often
(L-R) Jubilee Insurance Administration Officer Geraldine Njama, is attended to
by a Clinician from ICAS Kenya during the Jubilee Insurance wellness week.
and taking the stairs was not so tiring anymore. The wellness team
celebrated the great behavior change; they had achieved their goal,
to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Then came November and December and in the real Jubilee style, we
started scooping awards after awards after awards. As a result, in the
typical Kenyan spirit, there was great celebration. There was always
a cake cutting ceremony or a lunch in one department or the other.
Then checked in the festive season and you know what, Christmas
and New Year happens once a year. Our relatives from the diaspora
(both local and international) started streaming in and it was time for
Nyama Choma (roast meat) and a little Tusker (Kenyan beer) to help
in digestion, save the vegetables and fruits for ‘Njaanuary’. We were
not able to go to the gym because we had either travelled or were
entertaining visitors and anyway, we worked hard all year so why not
allow the body a bit of rest.
Some define a perfect holiday by the beach and the travel advisories
just made it easier; fewer international tourists and reduced hotel rates.
What’s better than an attendant at your beck and call? Can I have
some biting, pour me some more wine, room service please and the
list is endless. The gym had about five people while the hotel rooms
were fully booked. I guess this is allowed since you started saving
five thousand bob in January which reduced to two thousand bob by
March to afford that holiday. And when all is said and done, Jambo
Jet was such a timely savior. And if you are still nursing sunburns after
a long stay in your great grandmother’s home in Manyenyoni like I am
doing, its okay, that’s our kind of fun.
January is here and top on our list of New Year’s resolution is the
gym, detox, wheatgrass tops our menu etc, it’s called picking up from
where we stopped. Dear wellness team, can we have the wellness
week in January because then we have a whole year to practice what
we’re advised without fear of the December temptations (asking for
a friend).

Mauritius
DE NOUVEAUX PANNEAUX D’AFFICHAGE
SUR NOS ROUTES MAURICIENNES
ONE ON ONE
Un nouveau look, tant attendu, pour nos panneaux d’affichage.
Une nouvelle initiative, l’option d’un « pop-out » donne à notre
publicité un aspect visuel différent.
’Etes-vous assuré auprès de la compagnie à croissance rapide ?
Un message clair qui déborde de significations. L’idée de ce slogan,
est d’inviter le Mauricien à comprendre, pourquoi nous sommes le
meilleur choix, ce que nous avons de plus que nos compétiteurs et
surtout la signification de ces visages sur le panneau.
Nous souhaitons, à travers cette publicité, transmettre aux
mauriciens cette confiance que nous tous avons en Jubilee. Et
leur faire voir que, comme de nombreux autres compatriotes, ils
auraient bien raison de prendre la route avec Nous. En toute
sécurité et sérénité !
Nous projetons, pour l’an 2015, deux nouveaux concepts qui
reflèteraient de nouveaux produits mis en place afin de continuer
à séduire le marché Mauricien … aussi hors du commun soit-il.

JIML’S FUN DAY!
On a beautiful day with welcoming bright sun, all was set for a
superb fun day at “La Cambuse” Beach in the south of the Island in
September, 2014. The sight of the beach just got the staff excited!
Most of the JIML staff were present and ready for a day filled with activities!
Teaming is a way to formalise the power of collaboration among
individuals. It is a way to blend the talents, skills and inherent creativity
of diverse people. Ultimately the work group leverages its skills, time,
and resources for their own benefit and that of the organisation.
Five teams, each with a mixture of departments had to identify
members to participate in the various activities with the obvious aim
of becoming the winner. The activities were designed for the staff
to have fun and more importantly, to encourage them to know their
colleagues from other departments.
At the end of that day, there was lots of fun and laughter. There was
a lot of bonding and new friendships. The staff loved the event and
look forward to another one this year.
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

ONE ON ONE INTERVIEW WITH JIML NEW
BOARD MEMBER, DINESH TULSIDAS
1. New JIML Board Director and the youngest one – how do you
feel about it?
It is indeed an honor to be part of the Jubilee team. I have always
been an admirer of the origins and the structure. The AKDN has a
rich history and is fascinating. The contribution is invaluable and I
am proud to be a member of the organisation. At a local level, the
other board members are all highly respected businessmen/CEO’s
in the country. They have a proven track record and working with
them will be a unique experience.
2.What will you bring as a new Board member?
I will bring in some freshness and a different approach. I have
always been passionate about the economy and business at all
levels- locally, regionally and internationally. I read a lot and have
witnessed many companies/organisations grow at a phenomenal
pace. I am always trying to analyse what makes it tick for some
and what is the secret ingredient behind the success or sometimes
failure. Being born and brought up here and having studied in the
UK for several years, I hope to make concrete suggestions given
my extensive understanding of the retail market and real estate
in general. Another area I can contribute would be the IT given
my educational background. This is an area which is constantly
evolving and is now the backbone of most enterprises.
3.Jubilee Insurance – what do you think is its future in the
Mauritian market?
Jubilee Mauritius engage in a Tug of War exercise during the company’s
team building activity.
Mauritius is a very interesting market in spite of being smaller as
compared to the others. I have rarely seen a financial institution
grow as fast as I have seen Jubilee in the last 3 years. At this speed,
Jubilee’s positioning can only get better. Yes, it will be a challenge
at the top 2 or 3 with long established firms. But with some deeper
understanding of the client, the corporate world, customer service
and PR, Jubilee is headed for a bright future ahead.

Tanzania
JUBILEE TANZANIA PARTNERS WITH
VODACOM TO ENABLE LOW INCOME
TANZANIANS ACCESS AFFORDABLE
HEALTH INSURANCE
Jubilee Tanzania participated in the 7th Annual Automotive Festival
which is an important event involving the Tanzania Automobile Industry.
Jubilee Tanzania partnered with Vodacom Tanzania to launch
BimaAFYA (health Insurance), an affordable and comprehensive
medical cover. BimaAFYA will allow the client access to over 150
quality service hospitals and will cater for in - patient, out - patient
and maternity services.
We used this opportunity to create awareness of our products and
services like J-Drive for Private Cars, J-Care for Individual Health
Insurance, Individual Life insurance as well as our about our newly
launched Agriculture Insurance products like Multi Peril Crop,
Poultry, Greenhouse etc.
BimaAFYA is designed to cater for monthly, quarterly and yearly packs
at affordable premium prices, to enable the average Tanzanian pick
an affordable pack that falls within his or her income bracket.
The Autofest attracted a lot of visitors due to the variety of
automobiles displayed at the festival grounds. The highlight of the
festival was the “Celebrity Car Wash” which was attended by the
major Bongo Stars who washed cars to collect money for charity.
Jubilee Tanzania CEO, George Alande noted that “statistics indicate
that only 18 percent of the Tanzania’s population have health
insurance - mainly employer based medical insurance covers. These
means that millions of Tanzanians especially those who are employed
in the informal sector and those in self-employment such as our dala
dala drivers have been left out. “They now need not to worry since
BimaAfya provides an affordable solution to health Insurance,”said George.

DEALING WITH DIFFERENT PERSONALITY TYPES IN THE WORKPLACE
“Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it.”
Working in an office environment (or any type of workplace) means
having to deal with all different kinds of people; and sometimes
getting along with all of them can be a bit of a challenge, and
when people are hard to deal with, it translates to low productivity.
Different people need to be dealt with in different ways and as
individuals; you would deal differently with a touchy-feely person,
than you would with a no-nonsense type of person.
Tips on how to deal with all different personality types:
FIND OUT HOW OTHER PEOPLE LIKE TO WORK AND
ADAPT ACCORDINGLY
If someone would rather be emailed than have you stop by his or
her office, or vice versa, take note. Do what you can not to interrupt
other people’s processes (when it can be avoided) and you will be
looked at as a team player. Find out what personality types people
have, and adapt your behavior towards them accordingly.
REALISE THAT EVERYONE IS IN THIS TOGETHER
Different personalities can be great for a workplace because
it allows there to be many different opinions and ideas. It’s just
important to remember that everyone is working towards the
same thing: the success of the company. It’s ok for people to be
passionate and have opinions about work; it means they care.
BE PREPARED
For the most part, people will repeat patterns and behave
predictably. If you can prepare yourself with a response to a
certain behavior, you’ve won half the battle. Play out the situation
in your mind or with a friend, and come up with a solution that
will resolve the issue in a mature and rational way.
DON’T TAKE IT TO HEART
More often than not, people act the way they do because of
something personal that is going on with them. The same thing
goes for difficult co-workers. It likely doesn’t have much to do
with you, even though it may feel that way. It doesn’t excuse bad
behavior, but it can help to explain why it may be happening.
Find some common ground somewhere with them, something
that will at the very least help you to exist together civilly.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Above all, most people just want to know they are being heard.
People have different areas of expertise, that’s the value of
working on a team. One person can’t know it all or do it all, so
everyone needs to respect each other’s strengths, ask others for
input and work together.

DR. MOSES KANJA KOINANGE (M.BCHB, MBA)
MEDICAL DEPARTMENT, KENYA
Doctor Kanja joined Jubilee in 2008 August as a medical officer in the Medical Department.
As a medical doctor in the insurance field, he deciphers everything including diagnosis, tests
and medical reports to ensure they are correct, necessary and covered within the Jubilee medical
policies. Dr. Kanja also sits with the care management team to ensure that clients not only get
the best care but are also in the right facility (hospital) i.e. one that can cater for their needs.
Based on his vast experience in the industry and also being a member of the Medical Fraternity
makes it easier for him to reach out and negotiate with doctors for the best care and price for
Jubilee clients. He also assists in pointing out any irregularities or questionable claims.
Although Dr. Kanja is a medical resource, he consults for the Life Department whenever they
have a muddled case. He is also the lead claims resource for the ACTISURE System (a new
state-of-the art IT medical system) where he handles care management, claims rules, high value
claims, general claims administration and general system testing. Dr. Kanja also develops health
communication which he distributes to clients.
“Sales are the heart of our business and I am at the disposal of the business development
team whenever they need to show our finesse. Our clients stay happy and healthy through the
wellness programme that I spearheaded,” said Dr. Kanja.
