Despite making up a significant share of the UK insurance workforce, women remain underrepresented in leadership and pricing roles. With less than 7% of CEO positions held by women and persistent pay disparities, systemic barriers continue to limit their advancement. Addressing these challenges requires targeted strategies—ranging from flexible working policies to mentorship and leadership development—to foster a more inclusive and balanced industry.
