diversity, inclusion & belonging
Our 2023–2025 mission is to embed diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) principles in the UK & Ireland employee experience and set DEI as a personal priority for all people leaders in the region.
We know that a diverse workforce is key for the future of the insurance industry to reduce risk, increase knowledge, support innovation, and improve overall performance. For many businesses in the UK & Ireland, growing their workforce and attracting new skills is directly linked to their business strategies. We believe that increasing diversity through recruitment requires two areas of focus: 1) creating a recruitment process that is debiased and inclusive, and 2) building a diverse, sustainable, and engaged pipeline of candidates to recruit from.

Attract workforce diversity through inclusive recruitment
We know that a diverse workforce is key for the future of
the insurance industry to reduce risk, increase knowledge, support innovation, and improve overall performance. For many businesses in the UK & Ireland, growing their workforce and attracting new skills is directly linked to their business strategies. We believe that increasing diversity through recruitment requires two areas of focus: 1) creating a recruitment process that is debiased and inclusive, and 2) building a diverse, sustainable, and engaged pipeline of candidates to recruit from.
2
Grow workplace equity
through inclusive sponsorship
Equity is often considered the “missing link” that can help organisations reap the benefits of diversity and inclusion. It is not enough to bring in more marginalised talent to increase diversity and implement tactics to ensure they feel included, genuine inclusion requires giving that talent equal opportunities to ascend to positions of influence where they can impact what, how, and why work is done and have their contributions rewarded with further opportunities to advance. Our aim is to widen access to sponsorship for marginalised talent as a mechanism for accomplishing this goal.

inspire an inclusive culture
We believe inclusion is one of the most important skillsets of our time that can lead to better performance, development, and career success for all of our employees. Like all skillsets, it requires time, energy, and patience to develop. Therefore, our aim is to support all employees in developing this skillset through phased and sustainable learning opportunities
that lead to behavioural change. Given the importance of inclusion for future-proofing our business, we will also start to position inclusion as a core competency by which we
evaluate recruitment, development, and performance management decisions.

the transition experience
It's easy to mis-understand the challenges that elite athletes face upon retirement, but much like military personnel, athletes are regimented, focussed, resourceful, used to routine and deliver their best each and every time. Our job is to help them take those fantastic qualities and apply them to the next phase of their careers within your organisation.

the transition triad
Ensuring that every athlete we work with experiences a successful transition is at the heart of everything we do at ACT. It's in our DNA!
This can't happen however unless both the athlete and the business partner fully buy-in to the concept that comprehensive 360 support is the most effect route to success and retention.
Therefore working in partnership with HSB, ACT will ensure that everything we do is centred around the successful transition of every athlete we work with, both from an holistic and career perspective.
