WTW has published its first Inclusivity & Diversity (I&D) report to provide an annual review of how the company's commitment to greater I&D impacts its colleagues, clients and communities.
The report is titled: We’re better together because each of us is different.
A magnet for the most accomplished and aspiring talent in the industry
"Our vision is to be the best company we can be – to be a magnet for the most accomplished and aspiring talent in the industry; to offer clients the best advice, broking and solutions in the areas of people, risk and capital; and to make a difference in the communities in which we live and work," says WTW Chief Executive Officer, Carl Hess.
"The only way we can bring our vision to life is by having diverse talent and perspectives. We need to attract, retain, develop and promote diverse talent as well as ensure an inclusive culture. Fundamentally, our inclusion and diversity (I&D) goals are inextricably linked to our business goals," he says.
"We believe in One WTW – that when our individual talents are combined, we unlock our collective potential. This is why we’re committed to promoting a supportive, respectful and inclusive environment where all colleagues feel safe, heard and valued. And this commitment resonates throughout WTW – from our board of directors and senior leaders to our early-career professionals and everyone in between. This report reflects our long-term commitment to embedding I&D into the fabric of everything we do at WTW. We hope that after reading it you appreciate the progress we’ve made as well as understand what we aspire to do – forge deep commitments among our colleagues, better serve our clients and transform tomorrow."

We want our workforce to reflect the different and varied markets we operate in and a culture of inclusivity where all our colleagues can bring their best self to work every day, feeling welcomed and valued.”
