- Achieve annual business targets by ensuring our Case Consultants follow the Contemporary Case Management approach for every case;
- Implement and maintain a high-performance culture by assisting Case Consultants to be accountable for their productivity and output, and to demonstrate a results focus (duration linked to outcomes rather than payments and closures);
- Optimise the duration of each claim for the customer’s health and well-being by monitoring the workload of each Consultant and ensuring each case is being managed to the identified outcomes;
- Enhance the reputation of the team by establishing trusting relationships with peers, customers and others (internal and external) within Claims and related business units (e.g. Product, Underwriting, Actuarial);
