ClosePress release 23 September 2019.
Following the successful launch of the GRiD Training Academy in 2018, the organisation today announces its latest training course. Committed to sharing knowledge, best practice and expertise, this course is designed to increase understanding for those new to the industry, or who may have limited support.
The one-day course is delivered by industry experts, it’s comprehensive and covers a wide range of topics including:
- Legislation
- Claims management and trustee responsibility
- Underwriting and pricing
- Value-added benefits
- Early intervention
- Absence management
The introductory-level course is designed to give people who are relatively new to group risk a good grounding in the products, the benefits and the industry.
Feedback from the last training course was excellent, with 100% of attendees saying they would recommend the course to their colleagues.
Katharine Moxham, spokesperson for GRiD said: ‘Having access to the knowledge and expertise of industry leaders in group risk is one of the main benefits that our members value. We’ve taken this a step further by formalising that access in our Training Academy. Members who have recruits that are newer to the industry can be sure they’ll learn from some of the best.’
2 delegates per GRiD member firm can attend for free, on a first-come, first-served basis.
