Insuring Inclusion: EDI workshop for Liverpool's insurance leaders

Systemic gender inequality is among the most pressing issues facing the Insurance and Financial Services sectors. Additionally, women from low socio-economic, underprivileged, and neurodiverse backgrounds are shown to experience compounding disadvantages in the industry.

This interactive session shines a spotlight on the importance of diversity of thought in Insurance. Leveraging the experience of Sparta Global, an award-winning inclusive employer, we will discuss:

• Lived experiences and impact stories, including a testimonial from a role model in Insurance.
• 
  New incoming FCA regulations and how to prepare.
• 
  How to remove barriers to entry to Insurance.
• 
  How to attract, develop and retain diverse talent.
  
• Inputs from industry leaders in the audience.

This event is a collaboration between Sparta Global and the Insurance Institute of Liverpool, bringing together influential leaders who are committed to removing barriers to entry and progression and fostering equal opportunities across the sector.
