A big thank you to everyone who stopped by our stand! #DiveInFestival #CareersConference #InsuranceCareers #FutureTalent

In recognition of #BlackHistoryMonth, we're looking back on a Dive In 2024 virtual event titled Reinvigorating Race.   It was an inspiring space where thought leaders, advocates, and allies came together to discuss the complexities of race and what it means to push forward toward equity and inclusion within the Insurance industry including:   🔹 How the momentum of racial inclusion efforts from companies seems to have slowed and what can be done to re-engage colleagues on this topic.    🔹 Empowering diverse voices within organisations and encouraging people at all levels to get comfortable with having uncomfortable conversations. 🔹 Addressing the issues with retaining black and ethnic minority talent within the market and the importance of allyship.   Missed it first time round?
