TAL says the pandemic support measures it introduced with seven superannuation fund partners have seen a strong uptake from clients.

The measures focus on helping with fund members’ wellbeing and providing career support services.

“COVID-19 has made many of us realise that we live in an unpredictable world, and we understand that members are navigating uncertain times,” Chief Commercial Officer For Group Life and Investments Andrew Howard said.

“TAL is proud to be supporting our superannuation fund partners by providing access to targeted services and resources for members who may have had their livelihoods put at risk as a result of the pandemic.

“While COVID-19 started out as a health crisis, it has progressed into an economic one, and could ultimately lead to a social crisis, with many Australians experiencing impacts on their mental wellbeing.”
