IMPLEMENTING AN INCLUSIVE CULTURE THROUGHOUT OUR BUSINESS
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Implementing an inclusive culture throughout AssuredPartners creates common goals and values that allow individuals of all backgrounds, life experiences, preferences, and beliefs to strive and grow.
AssuredPartners believes that diversity creates better outcomes for our clients, our employees, and the communities we serve. Our executive leaders are committed to driving the efforts with the intention that Diversity and Inclusion becomes embedded in our business, people, strategies, and process. We are building an ecosystem where our employees can be their true selves, share their unique perspectives, feel that they belong, and where everyone will know their contributions are valued and respected.
Building a culture of inclusion and belonging is a powerful way to cultivate a motivated, unified and innovative team that drives overall performance and profitability. We recognise that if we achieve our UK&I vision and mission we will ALL reap the benefits as a business, as teams and as individuals. There is so much to gain through recruiting and retaining top talent, attracting new business and improving client relationships enabling us to deliver market-leading consultancy and insurance solutions to our clients.
Success requires the engagement, energy, and commitment of everyone across our business to continuously listen, learn and evolve together.

We need a workforce that reflects the demographics of the population we serve and provides a workplace where everyone feels included and a strong sense of belonging; where they’re free to bring their whole selves to work.
DEIB is about being the best we can be – a high-performing organisation that brings together all the different elements defined below:
Diversity: is about recognising differences and our uniqueness as individuals. It acknowledges the benefit of having a range of perspectives in decision making, problem solving and innovation.
Equity: recognises difference; ensures fair treatment, access and equality of opportunity and advancement for everyone. It is about removing barriers to success and levelling the playing field.
Inclusion: is where difference is valued. An inclusive working environment is one in which everyone feels that they belong, without having to conform. Individual contributions matter and people can perform to their full potential, no matter their background, identity, or circumstances.
Belonging: is being seen, heard and accepted; where your authentic self is welcomed and celebrated without consequence.
Success requires the engagement, energy, and commitment of everyone across our business to continuously listen, learn and evolve together.
