Becomes first insurer to receive Clear Assured
Gold status from the Clear Company
The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TRV) today announced that
its UK subsidiary has become the first insurer to achieve the Clear
Company’s Clear Assured Gold status for diversity and inclusion.
The Clear Company, a leading auditor of inclusive best practices,
provides organisations with a status assessment of Foundation,
Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum based on an evaluation across four
categories: finding talent, assessing talent, retaining talent and
policies and procedures.
“Ensuring a diverse and inclusive environment is a business
priority for us, and we are proud to have reached this milestone,”
said Ann O’Brien, Second Vice President and Head of Human Resources
for Travelers Europe. “We’re grateful for our partnership with the
Clear Company as we continue to refine our practices and foster a
workplace where all employees have the opportunity to develop and
thrive.”
Travelers was one of the first organisations to sign the
Inclusive Behaviours in Insurance Pledge and has several
initiatives in place that are designed to maintain a culture that
embraces diverse perspectives. Efforts include:
- Requiring all employees – at all levels and in all functions –
to participate in an interactive diversity education
programme.
- Supporting diversity networks, which are voluntary resource
groups led by employees who are dedicated to promoting a diverse
and inclusive work environment.
- Providing ongoing training for in-house recruiters, who are
Clear Assured accredited for inclusive hiring.
- Offering a toolkit to managers to support them in facilitating
team discussions about diversity and inclusion.
- Introducing an inclusive performance objective, which
encourages all employees to support an inclusive work
environment.
