Union Assurance conducts International Achievers Awards

Union Assurance backed by the corporate might of John Keells and Carson Cumberbatch recently concluded the International Achievers Awards and recognized 73 of its top producers at the Galle Face Hotel.

International Achievers Seminar 2007 also put the spotlight on these 73 top producers, giving them a platform to discuss and share their best practices in life insurance with their fellow colleagues.

Assistant General Manager Training and Development of Union Assurance Suranjith Godagama stated that the 73 top producers were awarded with internationally recognized certificates for bringing about a change in standards of excellence as well as for bringing prestige to the company.

Godagama added that the International Achievers Seminar 2007 is in collaboration with LIMRA, (the Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association, a US based company) since Union Assurance applies LIMRA's learning to their employees because LIMRA has schemes for top achievers internationally.

"Union Assurance continues to develop its employees for these awards. We've been very successful in producing the highest number of winners from Sri Lanka and or sales staff has met the standards that are recognized by LIMRA," he said.

Godagama also said the company wanted to create a forum for top achievers to share their best practices with other members, and at the moment there is no such forum in the country.

"There are lots happening globally like the Million Dollar Round Table, the LIMRA conferences and the Asia Pacific Life Insurance Conference where top professionals get together and share ideas and best practices, based on their performances and their achievements, we've picked four of the very best at Union Assurance," he said.

The International Achievers Seminar 2007 also featured a bookstall with many professional self-improvement books. In total, the 73 top producers received 123 awards and donations were made by the top producers towards helping a needy child with physiotherapy and the launching of the Union Assurance Member song also took place in all three languages.

The event also saw 23 members and nine trainers receive certificates from LIMRA's Professional Development Course. Union Assurance is committed in pursuing the highest standards of service and security to its customers.

Union Assurance has grown over the years to become a well established insurance company ready and able to provide a caring and efficient service to its customers, which include many large trading and industrial organizations in Sri Lanka as well as individuals from all walks of life, through an extensive network of 49 branches islandwide, strategically located throughout the country.
