I worked at OnePath Life for almost 6 years, initially as a Client Service Representative and then progressed through several different roles as my knowledge and experience grew. My last role on a mangers contract was as an Internal Insurance Specialist. I worked hard and built a reputation which has been rewarded with promotions and regular praise. I was well respected and because of this and my knowledge I have over the last couple of years of employment with OnePath trained advisers and staff on our products and procedures. Because of my in depth knowledge of the business and our industry, I worked on revising our processes and procedures in the New Business department to improve staff efficiency and accuracy. The results saw significant improvements in not just accuracy, but productivity as well. In support of this I also helped clean up the new business pipeline, supporting the new business teams and helping them get back onto SLA turnaround times.
