Recently, we came together to explore how inclusion benefits everyone and how intersecting identities shape workplace interactions.   A huge thank you to our incredible panellists, Caroline Tjoa, Program Director at Champions of Change Coalition; Tom Bevan, Dignified Access Lead at Australian Disability Network; and Jess Mayers, Relationship Manager at Pride in Diversity, who provided valuable insights based on lived experience.   Understanding different backgrounds and perspectives helps us foster an inclusive culture, and enables us to better serve our customers, partners, and the broader Australian community. 💼✨   #Diversity #Equity #Inclusion #Intersectionality

TAL Health for Life aims to protect our customers' wellbeing at every stage of their health journey. As part of this mission, we have launched a holistic Women’s Health Program – PAUSE, helping women to manage stressors related to health conditions including endometriosis and menopause.   Delivered in collaboration with OnTrack Occupational Therapy, the program offers tailored interventions to help women manage symptoms. Our evidence-based approach is supported by The National Women’s Health Survey, which highlights the need to consider all factors contributing to stressors at midlife to fully support women through the menopause transition.   We are delighted to celebrate this launch on International Women’s Day.🌎💜 This year’s theme #MarchForward, reminds us that progress is not just about reflection but about turning our commitments into action.   #IWD2025 #WomensHealth #Menopause

Yesterday at ASFA’s Spotlight on Insurance conference in Sydney, TAL’s Jenny Oliver and Aware Super’s Belinda Nicholson discussed our shared journey to deliver digital-first solutions to Aware Super members. As well as driving business efficiencies, these solutions are improving the member experience by making it easier for Aware Super members to manage their cover and claims online. For instance, when members use our Claims Assist solution, we can make claim decisions 20% faster on average. This means we can pay benefits to members and their loved ones sooner.

We fully support CALI's new best practice guidance on family and domestic violence.   This initiative sets new benchmarks for compassionate and effective engagement with victim-survivors, ensuring they receive the respect and support they deserve from across the life insurance industry.   Together, we can ensure Australians feel safe and protected when they need it most.    Find out more about how TAL supports our customers who may be impacted by domestic or family violence here: https://lnkd.in/gQUicPmF
