Education

Life learning

Education has a vital role in attracting new talent to our sector and giving everyone in the industry a comprehensive grounding in the international Life business. We help the people in our sector build their knowledge and hone their skills in many ways.

The AILO eLearning modules provide the foundation blocks for understanding the life insurance industry from the basics of ‘what our industry is’ to more complex themes as people progress in their respective roles"

Improving sector understanding

Problem

There was a lack of adequate entry level training for new staff entering the sector and to meet European regulatory training requirements.

Solution

An eLearning programme was created specifically tailored to the needs of cross-border life staff new to the sector. Launched in 2020, the initial introductory programme was so successful, it was extended and now comprises 39 individual modules, over 10,000 of which had been completed by January 2025. Operational managers have reported significantly increased levels in staff engagement, productivity and retention.

Creating future sector champions

Problem

AILO needed to widen its traditional focus on senior executives to help identify future talent and engage with and retain younger people in the business.

Solution

The AILO ‘Champions’ forum was created, enabling nominated staff from Member companies to participate in the future shaping of AILO and the sector. As a result, the ‘Champions’ have not only become a useful bridge between AILO and its Members but also gives them a chance to network outside their own companies and accelerate their personal development.

Realising individual potential

Problem

Building on the wider success of the eLearning programme, AILO wanted to find a way to offer more focussed development and guidance to individuals with recognised potential.

Solution

A pilot personal Mentoring Programme is launching in 2025, plugging up-and-coming staff into the experience and knowhow of retired and semi-retired respected industry professionals.
