More female insurance leaders needed: Tereora
The company was named the winner of the Women’s Employer of the Year award at the New Zealand Insurance Industry awards.
It was the first time the category, which recognises businesses working to improve gender diversity, had been included.
The judges recognised Asteron Life’s focus on gender diversity and tackling gender bias, including its focus on flexible work arrangements. Asteron Life’s achievements in relation to equal remuneration and supporting women to move into senior leadership were also commended.
Tereora said: “In the past, the insurance industry was mostly male-dominated. But we’re seeing positive signs that the gender balance is becoming more level. Even so, there’s still the opportunity for more women to move up and take on some of the leadership roles.”
