Resolution Health invests in skills development
In a bid to broaden the skills base, and thus also create
employment opportunities, Resolution Health, which earlier
this month signed up its 100,000th beneficiary, has launched
a programme to train and develop potential financial
advisors, in particular candidates from previously
disadvantaged communities.
“We decided to invest in the development of black potential
financial advisors as part of our contribution to transform
the medical scheme industry in terms of access and
representivity.

Training and development is in our view the most fundamental
way to achieve this goal since we will enable people to
develop their potential and create job opportunities for
themselves,” said Jannie Kotzé, CEO of Resolution Health
(Pty) Ltd.
Potential candidates were recruited according to a set of
guidelines including experience and qualifications, from
which the pilot group was selected.
These candidates will receive training on topics relating to
business and financial management, product range and sales
techniques.
 In
a final selection process, candidates will compile a
business essay, conduct personality tests and complete a
battery of tests relating to aptitude and potential. Once
the programme is completed, potential candidates will be
placed with brokerages to work as apprentice brokers.
They will be assisted with the accreditation process with
the Council for Medical Schemes.
“The outcome of this project is to place into the field
qualified financial advisors to sell, not only Resolution
Health products, but also other financial services thus
creating job opportunities and contribute to the economic
growth of the country,” Kotzé said.
