The Data Insights Committee will provide an accurate overview of women’s opportunities within the insurance industry. The Committee is inspired by what is working in the UK, where data on demographics and salary level is required to be public, and is looking to generate similar data in the United States. The Committee leads a call to action for individual companies to report on gender parity issues.
