We Are Working to Close the Gender Gap in Insurance

We’ve created panels to examine relevant research, including McKinsey’s Women in the Workplace study and the Financial Women’s Association paper on Gender Inclusion and its Impact on Women in Financial Services. These panels will provide answers to questions such as, “What does the talent pipeline look like for insurance and where are the pinch points by gender and race?” and “What are diversity leaders doing to make progress more quickly?”

We’ll hear from CEOs, chief diversity officers, policymakers, regulators and other stakeholders on how we can continue closing the gender gap and attract more diversity in the insurance industry. Our presenters will share best practices from across insurance and beyond in terms of accelerating gender equality.

Forward thinkers know that a diverse and inclusive workplace is essential to hiring and retaining top talent in the insurance industry. To that end, it’s imperative to attract more women and minorities to the industry and help foster continued growth in their careers. We’ll continue to work toward a future where all people, regardless of gender or color, have the same opportunities in our industry.
