But DEI also brings quantifiable business value. Workforce diversity has been proven to be essential to driving innovation and effective decision-making, as well as expanding into new markets and developing new solutions. On top of that, younger generations of talent expect employers to be able to demonstrate their commitments in this area. Anna Beninger, Global Head of Inclusion and Diversity, AXA, in her article on The future of work: How the insurance industry needs to shift its thinking to attract diverse talent, says, “To attract job seekers, it is paramount to ensure that we are actively building an inclusive and diverse workplace culture to ensure that it is ready for the next generation of insurance professionals. In the future, our bright, new employees may have had minimal exposure to the insurance industry but bring a new skill or perspective that could be an industry gamechanger.”
