Shepherd Compello’s commitment
Shepherd Global is a signatory of the HM Treasury’s Women in Finance Charter which is a pledge for gender balance across financial services.
We continue to have a female senior management representation on our management team that is reflective of our workforce. In 2024, women make up 50% of our senior management which reflects closely to the 45% of women we employee.
We already succeed the industry targets for female representation in senior roles and we aspire to maintain female representation above 40% by April 2025 and beyond as our charter target.
As part of the Charter we made a commitment to set the following internal targets to promote gender diversity in across our senior management and our wider organisation. In line with the Charter, Managing Director and Board member, Holly Shepherd is our Accountable Executive for Diversity and Inclusion.
As part of our commitment to the Charter, we have:
• a target of 40% females in the senior management team
• a commitment to disclose our annual progress against our target on our website
• a commitment to develop and strengthen our internal policies to support flexible working in the UK
• a commitment to grow and develop a diverse workforce across all levels of our business
In 2020, we were delighted to obtain the Insurance Age Diversity & Inclusion Award. At Shepherd Global, we recognise and celebrate our family values and have created an environment that supports a diverse and inclusive workforce.
Our philosophy is to challenge perceptions and demonstrate that everyone has the opportunity to flourish and excel in the insurance industry. We are proud to be leading the way in realising the benefits of a diverse workforce in the industry.
