Macquarie Bank’s second diversity and inclusion survey is open from today, as Lloyd’s Dive In Festival was officially launched.

The results of the inaugural survey, powered by Macquarie and in conjunction with Dive In, were unveiled at last year’s festival, and organisers hope this year’s results will show improvement.

The survey takes about five minutes to complete and all responses will be anonymous.

Organisations that receive more than 50 responses will receive a personalised report compared with the industry benchmark. To take the survey, click here.

The full results will be presented at the Dive In Festival, which runs from September 25-27.

The festival will head to New Zealand this year for the first time, as the celebration of industry diversity and inclusion continues to enjoy industry-wide support.

Preparations are under way, with events scheduled in Wellington and Auckland, plus Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

Events are built around the #time4inclusion theme.

Key industry supporters of the annual festival include QBE, XL Catlin, Zurich, Willis Towers Watson, Aon, Steadfast, JLT, Marsh and the National Insurance Brokers Association.

“After three years raising awareness of the business case for diversity and inclusion, the global movement now looks to harness the energy of previous years to encourage action across the sector,” Lloyd’s says.

This year’s festival will take place in 26 countries and 50 cities, a huge expansion from its 2015 debut in the UK only. For more information, click here.
