Lloyd’s Accelerate programme

We know that ethnic minority talent is under-represented across the Lloyd’s market, particularly in management and leadership positions. That’s why Lloyd’s is committed to developing ethnic minority talent as part of a wider action plan.

Only 6% of the total top management positions in the UK are held by individuals from ethnic minority groups. Our Lloyd’s Accelerate programme aims to tackle this by improving the pipeline of future talent, through a modular based development programme.

We have successfully completed 4 cohorts with the purpose of helping participants to build the skills, relationships and confidence they need to effectively manage their future careers.

• Accelerate delegates in each cohort have celebrated an improved role, promotion, secondment or role stretch
• Cohort 1 = 83%, cohort 2 = 70%, cohort 3 = 100%, & from cohort 4 (52% delegate response rate)
• 100% of participants agree the programme content will be useful and relevant in their work

Who is it for?

This programme is aimed at UK & US based ethnic minority talent. Nominees should consistently receive high performance ratings and would be considered suitable candidates or future management or leadership roles.

All applications will be considered on merit and sponsorship with agreement from your HR Business Partner.

Key points to remember when applying:

• The sponsor must be someone different to the line manager. Recommended to be two levels above the individual and is expected to fully engage in the Sponsor event and future interactions with the delegate
• Applicants to please block out all session dates in their diary – sessions are not recorded, so attendance is crucial
• Identify how this programme will help you – read the course session outlines and link your development goals to the course outcomes
