Samsung Life Insurance Co. said on Tuesday that it will overhaul its training system to enhance consultant capabilities, a move directly ordered by Chief Executive Officer Hong Won-hak.

Samsung Life Insurance plans to extend the training period for novice consultants to three years from the current two. The existing on-site training programs will also be revised with a focus on enhancing sales capabilities, particularly in disease plans, special contracts, and plan design. The company is also planning collaborative programs with Yonsei University and Sungkyunkwan University to cultivate consultants with financial expertise.
