The Gender Debate: Is anything meaningful being done in the largest broking firms?

The Insurance Age recently found that only 15.7% of people in six key senior management function roles as approved by the regulator are women after a request for the data from the FCA. Just 8% of CEO posts and 5.4% of chair roles in broking are held by women. Why is it so few and how can we change this to be more balanced?

We will have Louise Nicholls, President of the Insurance Institute of Bristol and Niki Facey, BIBA Chair and Young Ambassador for West of England on our panel, where we will ask:

Why are few women getting through to senior management level?

What do the largest broking firms gender pay gaps look like and how have these improved / worsened in the last 4 years when the data was first collected?

Are insurance companies more forward thinking on diversity and inclusion than broking firms? Can we learn from this?

And many more questions for debate.

We want you to be involved in this, so please bring questions. We want to create a community of support.
