Our Commitment On Inclusion & Diversity

We believe Inclusion and Diversity drives the best insights, advice and outcomes for our clients, our firm and our communities. That’s why we’re committed to a workplace culture where colleagues are comfortable being their authentic selves, feel a full sense of belonging and are empowered to reach their highest potential.

At Aon, our commitment starts with mutual respect. It is the responsibility of all our colleagues to act with integrity, trust one another and encourage others to share their unique perspectives. Together, we hold ourselves accountable, where every colleague feels accepted for who they are and valued for the insights they bring.

We know an inclusive culture drives diversity, which makes us a better, stronger company. We value the diversity of ideas, experiences and perspectives that come with having colleagues from different cultures, nations, genders, age, sexual orientation and physical ability. Embracing differences is key to our distinctive Aon United culture.

By having a strong commitment to inclusion and diversity, we attract and retain the best talent, which develops high-performing teams, enables innovation, creates client value and delivers positive business results.

Whether related to accessibility, gender, ethnicity, age or sexual orientation, it’s important to find intentional ways to grow in our understanding and support of others. Aon’s commitment to fostering an inclusive culture is top on our agenda. We believe identifying ourselves as visible and voluntary allies is vital amidst the challenges we face, as it signifies an environment where all colleagues feels supported to bring their whole selves to work.

In support of this allyship, we encourage our leaders and colleagues to pledge 'I'm in.' This inclusion commitment gives each individual the opportunity to demonstrate their personal dedication to an inclusive culture, while visibly identifying their allyship to others. We also offer ongoing recommendations on how they may share, participate, discuss, act and continuously learn in support of their commitments.

We Walk The Talk

Aon leaders have listened to colleagues across our firm, experts and many other voices and considered new opportunities for reinforcing our commitment to advancing I&D with meaningful actions that reflect our values.

In 2020 Aon formed the Global Inclusive Leadership Council, including 21 colleagues bringing a diverse array of backgrounds, experiences and perspectives. The Council, guided by executive co-sponsors Greg Case, CEO, and Lisa Stevens, Chief People Officer (CPO), is providing advice, recommendations and accountability for Aon’s I&D strategy and related actions.

Our Gender Balance Initiatives

• Our target is to have women account for 30% of our most senior three levels within the business by 2020.

• We run a sponsorship programme that links high-potential mid-level and senior female colleagues with senior leaders to provide them with career support, mentoring and guidance.

• Our "Females of the Future" programme is aimed specifically at increasing the number of women we recruit into our internships and graduate programmes.

• We have a number of programmes specifically targeted at building our talent pipeline of female colleagues at all levels and have embedded procedures at all stages of the employee lifecycle to ensure we can help attract, retain, develop and support women.

• We embrace flexible and agile working - 21% of our female employees work part time.

• Our Business Resources Groups provide forums for colleagues to network, provide support and provide insights for the business, and include the Women’s International Network.

• We are rolling out a new training programme for hiring managers to be aware of unconscious bias and ensure they follow a fully inclusive recruitment process, and all our interview guidance and materials will reinforce this.

• We seek to support talented women across the firm by providing career development opportunities, return to work support, and consideration of flexible working options, including career breaks.

• We run all our recruitment ads through a job description decoder which removes gender biased language and analyses job description against other critical success factors.
  

OUR FIVE KEY AREAS OF FOCUS

Continued success will enhance an inclusive culture where our colleagues are free to bring their authentic selves to work and one where we hold ourselves accountable to ensuring Aon is a place where all colleagues experience equal access and opportunity.
