Diversity challenge: members of the PwC Bermuda gender diversity initiative team line up in advance of next month's

International Women's Day

A panel of top professionals will next month meet to

discuss diversity in the workplace as part of

International Women’s Day.

Jointly hosted by professional services firm PwC and

the Women’s Legal Network, Chief Justice Ian

Kawaley, Catherine Bromilow of PwC, Patrick Tannock,

president of XL Insurance (Bermuda) and Robin Mayor,

a director at legal firm Conyers Dill & Pearman.

David Gibbons, PwC Bermuda diversity leader, said:

“We focus on diversity because it’s the right thing to do

and we know that it’s good for our business.

“Organisations that invest in diversity report seeing a

number of advantages, such as an increased ability to

attract talent, greater innovation and improved financial

performance.

“The International Women’s Day panel will look at what

it takes to build a diversity and inclusion programme

that is able to realise these benefits.”

The campaign theme for this year is “Be Bold for

Change” and the panel was created in a partnership between PwC Bermuda’s gender diversity initiative, led

by Talia Lucas and the Women’s Legal Network, which was cofounded by lawyers Lovette Tannock and

Kimberley Caines.

Ms Lucas said: “We recognise that there is no quick fix response to getting diversity right. This event is an

opportunity to learn from each other’s experiences and successes.”

She added that global research by PwC had found 90 per cent of CEOs said their organisation had agreed

that diversity policies attracted talent, while 85 per cent said it enhanced business performance and with 83

per cent saying it strengthened their brand and reputation.

But the survey pointed out that those views are still not reflected in global leadership.

Another PwC report found that the common view that women were underrepresented at the top levels of

business was due to a failure to provide enough support for new mothers returning to work was untrue.

The data gathered showed that turnover for new mothers was lower than the wider employee base and that

more women and men leave their jobs only at the most junior grades.

A spokeswoman for WLN said: “There’s a natural synergy for this discussion to take place between business

and legal professionals as collectively we look to examine the successes we have achieved and prepare for

the future.”

The meeting will be held on Wednesday, March 8 at 5.30pm at O’Hara House on Hamilton’s Bermudiana

Road.
