The creativity, expertise, and integrity of our workforce is our greatest source of sustainable competitive advantage. Our globally distributed and highly talented employees generate strong performance that fuels corporate growth. We care deeply for all employees and relentlessly work to create a healthy and inclusive culture.
At RGA, we recognize that our global strength lies in the diversity of our team members. By embracing varied backgrounds and experiences, we enhance our ability to innovate, perform effectively, and grow as we pursue our corporate purpose of making financial protection accessible to all.
In 2024, RGA’s leadership reinforced our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) by integrating these principles into our core business strategy. This approach not only fosters a welcoming workplace but also directly contributes to our competitive edge in serving diverse markets worldwide.
These efforts were recognized by industry and regional organizations:
RGA’s companywide inclusion initiatives included the launch of a Global Talent Accelerator, which provides targeted development for mid-career employees. This nomination-based, nine-month program – developed in response to employee feedback – helps RGA leaders around the world strengthen professional effectiveness, corporate visibility, and business acumen.
To recognize the many RGA leaders who make outstanding contributions to their communities, the environment, and DEI initiatives, RGA launched its inaugural Global Community Engagement Awards. Seven finalists from each region were recognized, and nominees and winners were awarded grants for the charity of their choice.
Throughout 2024, Regional Diversity and Inclusion Councils (RDICs) from around the globe strengthened the inclusive atmosphere at RGA by providing programs, educational courses, and opportunities for community engagement. A company-wide employee engagement survey reflected the success of these efforts, as 87% of employees affirmed the statement that “My manager creates an inclusive environment where I feel I belong.”
RGA’s Asia Pacific operations contain incredible diversity. It’s important for us to actively celebrate our unique backgrounds and collaborate on events that educate, uplift, and empower our teams to champion inclusivity.
When people from different backgrounds collaborate, you increase the potential for breakthrough ideas to emerge.
Our DEI events and programs provide a powerful opportunity to share our individual stories and connect with colleagues on a deeper level.
Our events with university and high school students forge connections with the next generation of insurance professionals and ensure we have access to fresh perspectives and diverse skills to drive our industry forward.
