We received certification from Great Place to Work® earlier this year, which is a testament to our sustained efforts. Through our collaboration with Great Learning, we aim to provide an opportunity that enables sales professionals to strengthen their skills further, thereby progressing on their career paths. We hope that the program will help them sharpen their knowledge and gain the requisite competencies for a long and rewarding career in the sector.”
Sarin Mohan, Head – Head of Distribution HR and Training, Bharti AXA Life Insurance, said, “The pandemic has redefined the need for upskilling and showcased how professionals must stay at par with industry standards and gain competitive advantage by constantly adding new skills and capabilities. We believe that the learners will benefit tremendously from the program and build the critical skills required to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to insurance sales. As an organization, we are focussed on building a future-ready workforce and, therefore, are constantly implementing initiatives to upskill our people. Our partnership with Great Learning enables us to expand our ethos to a larger audience and reach more industry professionals.”
