Learning at Lloyd's
View all 'Learning at Lloyd's'Are you looking for a new mentor? Do you need help with a topic, skills, behaviour and even specific Lloyd’s insurance market knowledge?
If so, this mentoring scheme could help you connect with someone who you can advise.
Cohort 2 saw 176 mentoring relationships and 23% more mentors than cohort 1.
Cohort 3 has now closed for registration and matching, so please wait for news on Cohort 4 opening in March 2025 for platform registration.
Anyone globally who would like to be supported in their personal growth and career journey, or has an interest in ‘giving back’ through helping others to develop.
Our offering is available to employees of companies that are within the Lloyd’s & London insurance market (Managing Agents / Brokers / Coverholders / Companies such as TPAs which are registered at Lloyd’s).
We help match mentors with mentees through a platform called Pushfar. Twice a year we’ll open PushFar, and you’ll then have two weeks to explore the system and find a match for yourself. The system will help you with this by suggesting potential matches whose experience most closely connects with your needs, or vice versa. If you’ve had no luck in this two week window, we’ll step in to help find you a match.
You can create a profile any time before the next opening date, via the PushFar platform, but you won’t be able to make any matches until we open the scheme. Be thoughtful about your profile. The more specifics you include about yourself and your learning needs or experience, the more likely you are to find your perfect mentoring match.
We will hold webinars before each opening date to talk you through the system and how to make the most of your mentoring relationship. There’s also a wealth of resources within PushFar to help you on your way once you’ve found a mentee or mentor.
Both parties can gain benefits through mentoring.
The benefits of becoming a mentor include the opportunity to:
• Improve interpersonal skills
• Understand other departments and roles
• Give-back and nurture
The benefits of being mentored include the opportunity to:
• Learn and grow your career
• Develop self-confidence
• Develop skills and knowledge
• Better understand organisational culture
This can be decided by you and your mentoring partner, but we suggest that you meet for one hour a month, for six months.
There is no cost to apply. All costs will be borne centrally by Lloyd’s, however any assistance with travel costs for face-to face meetings need to be paid locally.
The current cohort 3 is close for registration It will open in March 2025 for cohort 4.
As part of our drive to build inclusive work cultures, this mentoring programme seeks to support and develop our LGBTQ+ talent – helping individuals find the tools and advice they need to develop their careers within Lloyd’s and the wider market.
