Behavioral Economics Academy

Training courses developed in collaboration with Suffolk University professors are designed for Gen Re client associates in any department whose work would benefit from BE learnings.

BE Academy

Behavioral economics (BE) draws from the fields of psychology and economics to better understand human behavior and decision-making.

To apply BE to insurance, you first need to understand BE. Gen Re clients now have the ability to complete professor-developed and -led training modules.

  • Online courses will leave attendees with a solid understanding of how BE can apply across all functional areas.
  • Training includes self-paced, interactive sessions in an easy-to-follow, concise format that fits into busy schedules.
  • Courses created for insurance professionals extend from basic to advanced.
