Hopefully you’re here because you feel as strongly as we do that building a more diverse and inclusive workforce is critical to the success and prosperity of the (re)insurance market.

Welcome to Insider Progress – a cross-market, free-to-join community launched by Insurance Insider and designed to promote active discussions around building an insurance workplace for the future.

Through our events, we hope to create a place where people will not only meet and network with like-minded individuals, but also be able to benefit from tangible takeaways which can be put into place in your own companies.

Insider Progress will also feature editorial articles, opinion pieces, research, thought leadership and more, designed to arm people with evidence and ideas that can be taken into the boardroom to supplement and inspire your D&I policy building.

Most importantly, this will not be a place where we just focus on the negatives or the horror stories.

We want to provide a clear view of how embracing and celebrating employees’ differences can bring new business opportunities in (re)insurance.

But, in order to truly enact change, we need support from all corners of the market – both men and women, from the new graduate recruit to the C-suite executive.

So, if you're interested in becoming part of a movement that will help companies prepare their workforce for tomorrow, please sign up, get your boss to sign up and start being part of the conversation.

The Insider Progress Breakfast Briefing "Talent and Bridging the Socio-Economic Gap", is taking place Thursday, 27th April 2023 from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at EY’s UK Head Office. 

Topics for debate will include:
