In our next roundup, we are pleased to share our latest insights on diversity and inclusion in the insurance industry. 2023 has been a tough year for the economy, but not so much for Insurance. With insurers enjoying a hard market that looks set to continue into the latter end of 2024, and broking undergoing a period of intense investment, firms were more reticent to hire than we might have expected. Yet this reticence can’t last. In fact, the signs point to a more buoyant talent market in the second half of 2024, and this is where firms must take diversity more seriously in their hiring.

The insurance industry must evolve to attract Gen Z talent. Misconceptions about laziness and entitlement mask a generation valuing inclusivity, respect, and authenticity. As Dr. Elizabeth Feigin notes, Gen Z seeks flexible work environments, creative freedom, and decision-making autonomy. For firms, clear communication during onboarding about workplace norms and expectations is essential. Managers should be trained to assess and address the unique needs of a diverse, younger workforce, emphasizing emotional agility alongside technical skills. Take a read at the full article below.. If you wish to discuss the topic further, reach out to our specialists Nick Roscoe, Managing Director at n.roscoe@sheffieldhaworth.com, Gareth Burden, Consultant at g.burden@sheffieldhaworth.com and Helen Tudor, Managing Director and Global Head of DEI at h.tudor@sheffieldhaworth.com directly. #Insurance #WorkplaceDiversity #Leadership

In the latest episode of The Future of the Firm podcast by Source, Helen Tudor, MD at Sheffield Haworth and Fiona Czerniawska, CEO at Source Global Research, discussed several key issues with Emma Carroll, Source’s Head of Content. They noted a decline in female partner appointments, which dropped from 29% in 2022 to 26% in 2023, reversing a long-term positive trend. Recruiting female leaders from outside similar organizations enhances diversity, they observed. In the current challenging economic environment, firms prefer senior hires who can perform immediately, avoiding risks for candidates needing more development. Clients increasingly seek diverse consulting teams, reflecting a broader industry trend. Despite the tough economy, strong female candidates are retained by their current employers, who counter lower salary offers to keep them. The conversation also highlighted the value firms place on candidates with robust networks, which presents challenges for those from non-consulting backgrounds or who have been out of the market. Additionally, Helen and Fiona pointed out that redundancy criteria during restructures can inadvertently lead to the exit of high-potential employees, which firms need to consider carefully.

We recently came together to support The Earth Saviours Foundation (T.E.S.F), an internationally acclaimed non-profit organisation dedicated to serving the underprivileged, providing a safe haven, and promoting environmental sustainability. Over the past 13 years, T.E.S.F has rescued over 15,000 people from homelessness. The response from the SH India team was overwhelming. On June 13, a group of our volunteers visited the NGO to hand over the charity contributions. A special shoutout to Bhrigangshu Sharma, Sethumadhavan Srinivasan, Avneesh Raghuvanshi, Swati Sethi, Raj Kumar, Anjuma, and Amber Shamim for their in-person support and a big thank you to everyone from our Global offices who contributed. This enabled us to provide a substantial amount of fruits, vegetables, groceries, nutritional supplements, and more to the community. #CharityEvent #CommunitySupport
