Diversity & Inclusion in Insurance Awards 2020 | Infopro Digital Risk | TBA, London, UK

It is a mantra that is being repeated more and more: That as a business you are only as good as the people you employ; and that you can best manage and fulfil your customer needs by recruiting a workforce that is as diverse and representative of the population you serve.

Insurance has for a long time being characterised a ‘grey, male and stale’, but times are changing. With insurers, brokers and all parts of the insurance supply chain making strides to consign this stereotype to history; and change the perception of a sector which remains so important to the economic outlook of the country.

With this in mind, Insurance Age and Insurance Post host the Diversity & Inclusion in Insurance Awards.

The event celebrates individuals who work in the insurance sector who have done the most to champion D&I awareness and issues within their organisation and wider afield in areas such as LGBT+ rights; mental health; disability rights; gender and race equality.

There are also organisational awards to celebrate the businesses that have made notable strides to empower staff to tackle D&I issues; carry out a progressive recruitment strategy; and to become a more flexible employer.
