Telstra Super has launched a series of web videos aimed at providing easy to understand information for members.
Called 'Super Bites', the videos run for two to four minutes each and feature members of the fund's education team explaining different super-related topics such as consolidating super, co-contributions and salary sacrifice, with the initial topics specifically chosen to cover fundamental aspects of superannuation.
The videos are accompanied by links to resources and are complemented by animations, rather than just being one person talking to camera, according to Telstra Super chief executive Martin Crowe.
"These videos augment what is already a considerably expanded Member Education program, and are another milestone in our efforts to continue providing the highest levels of financial literacy enablers for our members", he said.
