In order to meet customer expectations and earn their trust so that customers are able to consult us about insurance with peace of mind, we support the development of professional human resources through a qualifications system and training programs.
Qualification Systems for Salespersonship
Tokio Marine & Nichido stipulates the condition that "agency owners must see to it that their salespersons finish a training course designated by the company" from the standpoint of realizing insurance sales activities that fulfill the standard of "Anshin (reassuring) quality." In addition to tests for salespersons of property and casualty insurance and the insurance products training system operated by the General Insurance Association of Japan, the company has also been making efforts to improve the quality of sales activities by having salespersons obtain qualifications and complete training as designated for individual products as well as building a New Salesperson Management System to manage sales qualifications, training records and other relevant matters according to each salesperson. We are promoting various measures to enhance the quality of salespersons such as by utilizing a system, whereby salespersons who have not acquired designated sales qualifications are unable to handle contracts.
