TAL has launched a learning and development platform offering its superannuation fund partners access to on-demand education and training to support their teams. 
 
The life insurer says it developed the TAL Insurance Academy in collaboration with its super partners. 
 
“At TAL, our ambition is to make life insurance better understood and valued,” GM Partnerships Dan Taylor said. 
 
“Supporting our superannuation fund partners to have well informed and ongoing engagement with their members, and enhancing the value those members derive from their fund, reflects TAL’s commitment to partner excellence.” 
 
TAL says in the initial rollout its superannuation partners exceeded expectations in adopting the new learning program, with fund employees completing 3000 learning modules. 
 
The course content is delivered by subject matter experts and includes an overview of the Australian life insurance landscape as well as masterclasses on key aspects of insurance in superannuation, the life insurer said. 
 
“This includes an extensive range of masterclasses on mental health conditions, recognising their impact on super fund members and ensuring super fund teams are equipped to have informed conversations and provide targeted support,” Mr Taylor said.
