Lloyd’s Culture Dashboard reports Lloyd’s progress against our five culture principles to create a more inclusive and high performance marketplace: Leadership Focus, Behaviour, Speaking Up, Diversity and Inclusion, and Data Collection.
This year’s Culture Dashboard combines data from our biannual Culture Survey of market and Corporation employees, and our annual Market Policies & Practices (MP&P) survey of market firms published in March 2024.
In total, over 13,000 employees from firms across the market and the Corporation completed Lloyd’s Culture Survey, compared to 9,500 in 2022. The results show improvements in behaviour observed and continued progress in creating a more inclusive market, with Lloyd’s scoring above the financial services benchmark in 25 out of 27 comparable survey questions.
“Since 2019, culture has been – and will remain – one of our four strategic priorities alongside performance, digitalisation and purpose. Inclusion and good behaviours drive performance, encourage innovation and ensure Lloyd’s remains a destination of choice for diverse talent.John Neal, Lloyd's CEO
“We’re encouraged by the progress seen in 2023 and the start of 2024, but the job is far from done. We need to maintain the focus we’ve placed on culture in recent years to continue transforming Lloyd’s for the better, while attracting and including the talent that forms the lifeblood of our market.”
