NOW: Pensions has become the latest name to lend its support to the Chartered Insurance Institute’s (CII) “Insuring Women’s Futures” initiative.
It has announced its commitment to the initiative’s “flexible working” and “inclusive customer financial lives” pledges.
The “flexible working” pledge commits firms to helping their colleagues understand and manage the long-term financial implications of flexible working. Meanwhile, the “inclusive customer financial lives” pledge commits firms to adopting an inclusive “whole customer” approach, considering the impact of their life circumstances.
“NOW: Pensions is proud to support the CII Insuring Women’s Futures manifesto and sign up to the pledges to improve gender equality in our industry,” said Dawn Thirley, group HR director of NOW: Pensions. “It is important that we continue to support working mothers to ensure that they are not disadvantaged and have the same opportunities as others to work and progress in a rewarding career.”
“We are proud to work alongside Insuring Women’s Futures and will continue in our efforts to generate awareness and help close the gender pensions gap,” said Sian Fisher, chief executive officer of the CII. “I am delighted that employers and providers are leading by example, committing not only to improving the inclusivity of their customer approaches, but supporting their colleagues through their financial life journeys. I encourage any insurance or personal finance employers to consider how joining this growing group will add value to their business and support their colleagues and customers.”
