We have set a target of 35% women in leadership positions across the market and corporation. Our partnership with SEO London seeks to attract and support young under-represented people through the recruitment process. Our ex-military scheme offers veterans the opportunity of a work placement in the most advanced insurance market in the world. Our careers website includes interview guidance for candidates to set them up for success. We ask candidates whether they have any reasonable adjustments to make sure they perform at their best.
