Life at Lloyd's: Our Culture

On all of our early careers programmes, you’ll have a dedicated ‘work buddy’ and a career manager to advise and encourage you at every turn. We work hard, but we also place a serious value on providing a work-life balance. We aim for you to make the most of your life in and out of work and we run numerous clubs and societies for you to get involved in too.

In line with that commitment, we are very active in our CSR activities and all our graduates and apprenticeships can take three fully paid days for voluntary work, either through some of our partners or on their own initiative. Building an inclusive culture is essential to the market’s future success and that is why culture sits alongside performance and strategy as one of the Corporation’s three strategic priorities. Our Culture Dashboard, is updated annually and tracks progress towards a wholly inclusive environment; measuring the gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and disability of our employee talent.

"We will succeed by harnessing the entrepreneurial and innovative spirit that is at the heart of Lloyd’s. Together we have a tremendous opportunity to reimagine Lloyd’s and build a marketplace that is futurefocused, highly responsive to the changing and diverse needs of our global customers, with a culture of inclusivity and innovation."

John Neal, CEO

Diversity and Inclusion 

We’re focused on making Lloyd’s a truly inclusive place to work too. We have a number of initiatives to drive our long-term culture change initiative to build a more inclusive environment. We run a global ‘Dive In Festival’ to celebrate diversity and inclusion in insurance and we have a number of employee resource groups:

  • Inspire
  • Pride and Allies
  • PA Network
  • Workability
  • Cultural Awareness Network
  • Families Network

Both our Advance Programme and Accelerate Programme are key in driving our long-term culture change. Our Advance Programme aims to encourage and increase the number of senior female leaders in the insurance industry, improving the pipeline of women within the industry identified as future leaders. Our Accelerate Programme is a modular programme to develop Ethnic Minority Future Leaders across the market.

Improving the experience of Black and Minority Ethnic talent in the Lloyd’s market is an important focus and we’re taking a number of steps to do so, including investing in positive recruitment programmes to attract, retain and develop Black and Minority Ethnic talent in the Lloyd’s market. You can find out more about all of these initiatives on our corporate website.
