WTW supports insurance sector's Dive In Festival as Global Partner

Forging and celebrating diversity and inclusion across the insurance industry is key - and there's a brilliant annual festival that plays a core part in supporting this important agenda.

Leading employer, WTW is a proud Global Festival Partner for the Dive In 2022 Festival that sees a committed community of salient speakers and diversity and inclusion (D&I) experts from around the world share knowledge and inspiration. The theme for Dive In is Braver Cultures and covers a range of topics including mental health, social responsibility, multi-generational workplaces, gender, LGBT+, multiculturalism, race & ethnicity, and disability. Dive In opens up the conversation on how to build a workspace that truly allows people to feel psychologically safe, valued, respected and free to express themselves authentically.

Promoting best practices for achieving diversity and inclusion

Dive In is a global movement in the insurance sector to support the development of inclusive workplace cultures. Its mission is to enable people to achieve their potential by raising awareness of the business case and promoting positive action for diversity in all its forms.

Since its birth in 2015, Dive In has grown exponentially, reaching global heights with events taking place across 35 countries world-wide, attracting more than 30,000 people. Dive In promotes year-round best practice in diversity and inclusion with tools and advice that culminate in an annual three-day festival in September. Events are hosted in insurance firms of all types and sizes, all around the world.

Originally launched in London UK in 2015 by a group of firms in the Lloyd’s Market acting through D&I strategy steering group, Inclusion@Lloyd’s, Dive In has grown far beyond its roots to include some of the world’s largest insurance companies, brokers, underwriters and associated service providers. Inclusion at Lloyd’s also supports the insurance partner networks; GIN, iDAWN, iCAN, NGIN, Insurance Families Network, LINK.

Dive In recognises that the global risk industry is facing complex challenges such as climate change and cyber crime. In order to attract the very best talent to keep pace with the rate of change, insurance needs to focus on its reputation as a great sector to work in. This means looking beyond traditional definitions of diversity to level the playing field for talent comprehensively including gender, gender identity, age, cultural background, sexual orientation, social mobility, faith, caring responsibilities, mental health and physical impairments. Dive In promotes year-round best practice in diversity and inclusion with tools and advice that culminate in an annual three-day festival in September. Events are hosted in insurance firms of all types and sizes, all around the world.

The festival is free and open to everyone who works in the insurance industry and anyone outside the industry who is interested in learning more about D&I within businesses.
