Diversity Action Group

The Diversity Action Group (DAG) is committed to supporting the IFoA in developing, delivering, and evolving its strategic diversity objectives as set out in its DEI strategy and its 7 key themes:

  1. Leadership and culture
  2. DEI at the IFoA
  3. Entry to the profession
  4. Actuarial work
  5. Supporting members in their work
  6. Supporting members in difficulty
  7. Improving DEI in our community

 

The DAG seeks to support the IFoA by partnering in the implementation of the DEI strategy, in a number of ways – including but not limited to:

  • campaigns: supporting campaigns and initiatives to promote diversity among IFoA members, volunteers, and staff
  • advice and review: acting as a consultative body to provide a range of viewpoints and input to various DEI activities at the IFoA
  • resource and capability: establishing effective communications across a range of online and other channels to maximise our reach and impact, including on IFoA website and LinkedIn
  • mentoring: supporting the Actuarial Mentoring Programme, a cross-company mentoring programme designed to improve diversity within the actuarial profession
  • data: gathering and analysing information and data to support or inform actions and strategy, and to measure progress
  • engagement: supporting members to find out more about diversity, equity, and inclusion at the IFoA
  • communications: promoting relevant activity through various means including case studies, blogs, news items, articles, and social media

You can join the conversation around diversity in the actuarial profession through our LinkedIn group or on IFoA communities.

You can learn more about the IFoA’s approach to diversity and find the latest content on diversity in the actuarial profession – supported by the DAG – on the diversity, equity, and inclusion page.

“As a profession representing members from a multitude of organisations, we are no less impacted than any other individuals and groups in terms of matters relating to representation and inequities. Alongside the IFoA, myself and fellow volunteers of the DAG are working hard to tackle these issues and exploit our skills and understanding of risk and data in the pursuit of progress.” – Chika Aghadiuno, Chair, Diversity Action Group
