QBE confirmed as Gold Sponsor for 2023
iCAN is thrilled to announce that QBE is now officially joining us as a Gold Sponsor for 2023!
QBE’s sponsorship of iCAN is a brilliant example of QBE's dedication to supporting diversity and inclusion in the UK and Global insurance industry and we warmly welcome the opportunity to work together to make a tangible impact.
We are particularly proud of QBE releasing their latest combined Gender and Ethnicity Pay Gap Report for the 2nd year in a row.
Jason Harris, International Chief Executive Officer for QBE said:
“We are serious about creating an environment which enables all our colleagues to be their best, to be themselves, to have a voice, and to be valued for their contributions.
“Publishing our combined Gender and Ethnicity Pay Gap Report is important to us, and we will continue to do so to ensure that we are being transparent and holding ourselves to account.”
Emma Higgins, Chief People Officer – International, recently published a blog article on how QBE is attracting and retaining talent in challenging times. She explains how listening carefully and engaging with employee advocacy groups have helped QBE build a positive work culture that delivers best-in-class for employees and customers.
The sponsorship
QBE’s sponsorship will support a wide range of iCAN’s ongoing and newly launched initiatives for 2023. The initiatives include our INspire self-serving mentoring platform and iCANConnect, a safe space for D&I leaders across the insurance industry, as well as our newly launched iCANApply Jobs Board which aims to give more access for our members to opportunities within the insurance industry.
In addition to these three main initiatives, the sponsorship will support the continuation of the iCANVoice Podcast, Coffee with the CEO series, and a range of virtual and in-person events for the 3,500+ members based in the UK and internationally.
Sarah Hanson, Head of Talent Acquisition at QBE Europe commented:
“QBE are delighted to partner with iCAN in 2023 as a gold sponsor! We want everyone who joins us to enjoy the benefits of a rewarding and inspiring future within a culture that is inclusive, flexible and supportive.
“We are dedicated to supporting diversity and inclusion and warmly welcome the opportunity to collaborate, share best practices and make a tangible impact with iCAN and for our employees and the broader community.”
