Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Belonging

Implementing an inclusive culture throughout AssuredPartners creates common DEIB goals and values that allow individuals of all backgrounds, life experiences, preferences, and beliefs to strive and grow.

DEIB at AssuredPartners 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 (DEIB) 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 International DEIB 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.

DEIB Inclusion and Belonging Coalition

AssuredPartners has introduced DEIB ambassadors at offices across the country. These ambassadors serve as leaders and advocates for DEIB initiatives locally.

The DEIB ambassadors work to foster a culture of inclusion through education, events, mentorship programs, employee resource groups, and more. They help ensure underrepresented voices are heard and all employees feel welcomed, valued and able to perform at their best.

The ambassadors partner with leadership to continuously evaluate policies and practices through an equity lens. By having an Inclusion and Belonging Coalition, AssuredPartners aims to build and maintain an equitable, diverse and inclusive environment that enables all employees to thrive.
