Building more
resilient societies
as a responsible
business
As a specialist global insurance company, Beazley
focuses on helping organisations around the
world to manage their specialist and complex
risks so they can be free to grow and thrive
Our inclusion and
diversity commitment
A
t Beazley, we insure
everything from some of
the world's largest ships
and buildings to major
sporting competitions through to village
fetes. Increasingly, the biggest risks
our clients face are intangible, so we
also specialise in helping organisations
to manage the growing array of risks
you can't see but that can pose a severe
threat, such as cyber, intellectual
property or reputational risk.
To ensure we continue to help our
clients in a rapidly changing world,
we are building a company founded
in the diverse skills, experiences and
backgrounds of our people and an
inclusive, collaborative culture that
helps people be themselves and develop
fulfi lling and inspiring careers.
Embracing change
The pandemic has taken a heavy
toll on many while also instigating
considerable change in the world of
work. From introducing new working
practices almost entirely reliant on
digital technology to ensuring that our
colleagues, clients and partners are
supported in the best way possible,
Beazley has been evolving quickly to
ensure we continue to meet the challenges
and opportunities in this new reality.
Beazley is focused on ensuring we
harness the positive developments to
come out of the pandemic by creating
a more fl exible, inclusive and dynamic
organisation that puts people fi rst. As a
company we began introducing activitybased
working (ABW) in 2019 as a move
away from the idea that our best work
always happens in a traditional offi ce
environment. Through employee surveys
and research, we knew people needed
spaces to collaborate and share ideas,
and for more focused, quiet work.
We have since begun redesigning our
offi ce spaces globally, launching our
fi rst fully ABW award-winning offi ce in
Birmingham. We have just completed the
latest newly designed spaces with a move
to 22 Bishopsgate in the City of London.
We look forward to welcoming our teams
and visitors when lockdown lifts.
As a company, we commit to
recruit, retain and develop people
with diverse backgrounds and
experiences to thrive at all levels
of our business, in a truly inclusive
environment that operates zero
tolerance to discrimination or
harassment and fully supports
and celebrates diff erences.
It's important that our teams
refl ect the diversity of our customers
and communities where we work,
yet we know that simply aspiring to
having a diverse workforce is not
enough. We set measurable targets
and clear objectives to make sure we
are progressing and building a more
diverse and inclusive organisation
where everyone is able to contribute
their best work and develop fully.
" Doing the right
thing by our
people and planet
has never been
more important "
