Expanding the insurance industry's workforce diversity, including recruiting and developing more female executives, is not only good politics and good corporate citizenship, but good business, one award-winning woman suggests.
Indeed, for more female insurance executives to rise to the coveted “C-suite”–where CEOs, CFOs and other top company officials reside–carriers need to establish proactive recruitment, mentoring and development programs that are family-friendly, according to Janice Tomlinson, named 2009's “Insurance Woman of the Year Award” by the Association of Professional Insurance Women.
This year's honoree–who is executive vice president and international field operations manager for Chubb Corp.–has over 30 years of experience in the business. She began her career with St. Paul Insurance (now Travelers), before joining Chubb Corp. in 1973 as a commercial underwriter, then managed several underwriting departments before becoming worldwide human resources director in 1990.
