training & development
The Underwriting apprenticeship offered by HSB will be delivered by Davies Group, a leading provider of insurance services and solutions. The program will provide a combination of off-the-job and on-the-job training, with Davies Group delivering the classroom-based learning and HSB providing on-the-job training.
Apprentices will learn from experienced senior underwriters, who will provide them with real-world experience and insights into the profession. This practical experience will enable them to develop their skills and gain the knowledge required to become competent underwriters. By offering a combination of classroom-based learning and on-the-job training, the apprenticeship program provides a well-rounded learning experience that equips apprentices with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the underwriting profession.

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.

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.
3
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.

underwriter level 1
HSB is offering underwriting apprenticeships to former elite athletes. Upon completing their training, the athletes will be qualified as an underwriter level 1. As an underwriter level 1, the post holder will provide administrative and underwriting support to the Segment team, which enables a highly efficient 'Customer First' service to all internal and external customers. The post holder will also contribute towards the achievement of profitable growth and revenue, manage a caseload in line with assigned authority level, pro-actively obtain underwriting surveys, develop and maintain effective trading relationships with customers, and attend relevant industry and market-specific events, among other responsibilities.
The apprenticeship program aims to provide former elite athletes with an opportunity to develop skills that are transferable to the underwriting profession, such as attention to detail, analytical skills, and the ability to work effectively as part of a team.

ACT transitioned athletes
From sport to business, meet the inspiring athletes who have already set the stage for success. Join an elite group of athletes who have already undergone this program.
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.
transition support
Transition Support is a key element in the successful transition of every retiring professional athlete.
ACT work closely with all athletes placed with business partners to ensure the transition process is as smooth and painless as possible. There is no doubt that there will be many challenges along the way but together we will face them and together we will overcome them!
The ACT Transition support team work tirelessly in its pursuit of our athletes next passion and purpose away from sport. We are part of your new team that is here to listen, advise, guide, support and help every step of the way.
With decades of practical, and lived experience, at our finger tips ACT are experts in transition support, support that is consistent, dependable, available at all times and totally focussed on you!
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.
