Executive General Manager Transformation, Commercial Insurance

Fiona Phillips believes a diverse workforce enriches IAG and its people.

"Each of us has a unique perspective based on our gender, culture and life experiences. When you mix people with different perspectives, thoughts and beliefs, the result is richer decision making and higher-quality outcomes – and that just makes good commercial sense.

"Promoting diversity and inclusiveness in the workplace is about celebrating people's differences, and being flexible. Before I went on maternity leave, for example, I worked with my manager to come up with a plan for when and how I would come back to work. Being clear about what would work for me and the business and being proactive in managing my career was key to making that transition a success.

"IAG's diversity, inclusion and workplace flexibility policies provide opportunities for everyone. Nothing will stand in your way, whether you're older, a parent, have a disability or come from a different ethnic group. Those factors will never, ever be an impediment to success at IAG – it's up to you to seize any opportunities and you'll be limited only by your imagination."
