Gen Re is committed to embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) into our work culture to build a more diverse and inclusive workplace. We continue to develop DEI goals, enhanced DEI training, and development for our leadership and workforce. Embracing the principles of DEI and a global mindset is key to our success.
We aim to increase diversity at all levels of the organization, including senior leadership. We are looking at both our hiring and promotion process and re-engineering our university partnerships to focus on under-represented students in our industry.
Our senior leaders are actively involved in our DEI initiatives. They build awareness, engage in conversations, participate in training, and hold each other accountable to move Gen Re forward. In 2022, Gen Re appointed its first Global Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Officer responsible for developing and promoting our DEI plan through workplace initiatives, workforce engagement and marketplace and community opportunities across Gen Re.
We have also established a strong network of Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) across the globe which are sponsored by our leadership team.
As a part of Gen Re's diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, we have launched Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) that are voluntary, employee-led groups based on common interests and backgrounds.
Our ERGs welcome and emphasize the support and participation of allies. They focus on the intersectionality of the issues that are important to all employees. Through their strong networks and initiatives, our ERGs plan to provide:
