The firm was also recognised for maintaining pay equity for all employee roles, the WGEA, which recognises organisations for active commitment to achieving gender equality, said.

“To be recognised as one of just 119 Australian businesses with the Employer of Choice citation is a real honour and tremendous recognition of our ongoing effort to foster a diverse and inclusive culture so our people are valued for who they are and what they can contribute for our customers, partners, colleagues and the community,” TAL Group’s chief executive and managing director and WGEA pay equity ambassador, Brett Clark, said.
The insurance company has joined this year’s awards as a principal partner.
The $135 billion fund has transitioned away from TAL Life Insurance following an “extensive tender process”.
The $80 billion fund is facing legal action over allegedly signing up new members to income protection insurance by default without active member consent.
