Risk and insurance can be a highly rewarding career for women and men. Historically many have perceived insurance as a career more for men than for women – particularly at senior levels – but this is changing.
Our goal
To improve the profile of women in the sector, in particular increasing the number of women at senior levels and in business roles, building the pipeline of younger career women in the profession, and making the sector more attractive to new female talent
What we will do
The Chartered Insurance Institute (CII) has launched an initiative to help women to return to work after a career break. The site includes advice, opportunities and case studies from other women who have successfully balanced a career in risk and caring for a family.
