It is the premier awards for showcasing the achievements of women in the general insurance market.
The awards, now in their fifth year, honour the inspiring achievements of women across all sectors of the market, all levels and all disciplines. They also offer a platform for companies shaping the discussion around how we can improve diversity within the sector as they offer a platform for applauding the most forward-thinking initiatives.
Showcasing excellence and achievement is a vital tool in the continuing battle to establish equality across all parts of the industry and in all roles.
The insurance industry has made significant strides down the road toward re-focusing itself as a genuinely inclusive, equal opportunities sector but the consensus is there is still a long way to go, especially when it comes to narrowing the gender pay gap, embedding flexible working arrangements in the wake of the pandemic, and increasing the number of women in senior and board positions. Those who make it to the top are outstanding role models but we all know there are still far too few women at the top.
How to nominate and enter
There is a two stage nomination and entry process.
First, we invite people to nominate colleagues and clients for an award. You are able to nominate the same person in a maximum of two categories and have to add a line or two about why you have nominated them.
Everyone who is nominated is then invited to submit an entry, again restricted to a maximum of two categories if they have been nominated in multiple categories.
For the two most popular awards – Role Model and Unsung Hero – we have split the categories by sector so there are separate categories for Insurer, Broker and Service Providers, the latter covering loss adjusters, lawyers, consultants and anyone else who provides a service to the general insurance market.
