Is Current TPD Policy Relevant in Modern Workforce Contexts?

Event

Expert panel discussion with Q&A 

Product | Underwriting | Claims | Rehabilitation

The life insurance industry is evolving—and so is the conversation around Total and Permanent Disability (TPD). As workforce dynamics shift toward flexibility, fragmentation, and new employment models, it's time to ask:

Are current TPD definitions and frameworks still fit for purpose?

Join us for an exclusive, high-level webinar bringing together thought leaders from across the life insurance value chain. This multi-disciplinary discussion will explore whether today’s TPD practices align with the realities of a modern workforce—and what needs to change.

Are today’s TPD definitions, frameworks, and practices fit for a workforce defined by flexibility, fragmentation, and evolving employment models?

Why Attend?

• Understand the Problem
  TPD claims are rising rapidly, placing pressure on product sustainability and long-term viability.
  
  
• Challenge the Norm
  Current policy frameworks remain anchored in traditional employment assumptions, failing to reflect modern work realities - including transitional, gig-based, and portfolio careers.
  
  
• Explore Strategic Solutions
  Our panel of experts will explore how reinterpreted ETE (education, training, and experience) clauses and outdated occupational definitions are fueling systemic mismatches between intent and application.
  
  
• Strengthen Assessment Practices
  While policy reform is essential, we must also equip today’s assessors with the tools, training, and frameworks to navigate complex claims within existing definitions.
  
  
• Drive Industry Reform
  Be part of the conversation navigating the sector toward a more future-focused, equitable, and sustainable approach to TPD.

Who Should Attend?

We invite professionals across the life insurance ecosystem who are passionate about taking a collaborative approach to modernising and future proofing TPD.
