Carpenters Group is proud to highlight insights from Owner and Director, Donna Scully, following her appearance at Insurance Times’ Destination Insurance event last week. Donna spoke on the importance of building a culture within the insurance profession that attracts and retains the very best talent.

In her follow-up article, How Insurance is Building a Culture Where Everyone Can Thrive, Donna explores how the sector can continue to strengthen its foundations of inclusion and opportunity. She emphasises the role of leadership in removing barriers, the value of career pathways and development programmes, and the need for transparency around progression and pay.

Donna writes:

“There’s so much to be proud of already; a sector with heart, leaders who care, and a strong commitment to talent and opportunity. By sharing more openly, widening our focus and continuing to invest in people and partnerships, we can set an even stronger benchmark.”

The article also calls for greater focus on social mobility, neurodiversity, and intersectionality, alongside practical steps such as mentoring, sponsorship, and employee-led groups to embed diversity, equity and inclusion into everyday culture.
