Leading the Change We Want to See

Our company’s greatest strength is the collective talent of our people. Each of our colleagues brings a unique perspective, background, and experience that individually makes us valuable — and together, extraordinary.

Leading the Change

At Marsh, we’re all about embracing the varied backgrounds, heritages, and perspectives of our colleagues. We believe a culture of diversity and inclusion is the key to generating fresh ideas and creating solutions that  best serve you.

Our approach to inclusion and diversity focuses on three pillars:

  • Driving deliberate diversity and equity.
  • Facilitating a culture of inclusion and understanding.
  • Enhancing the colleague experience.

To execute on our commitment to inclusion and diversity, we:

  • Identify targeted recruitment and sourcing.
  • Deliver employee and manager education and development for and about diverse constituencies.
  • Foster employee engagement through our Colleague Resource Groups.
  • Conduct informative internal and external diversity communications and programs.
  • Develop strategic external partnerships.
  • Promote supplier diversity.

Within Marsh, this commitment is steered by our Diversity & Inclusion Council. Comprised of senior business leaders, this Council is responsible for executing our firm-wide diversity and inclusion initiatives.

Colleague Resource Groups

Colleague Resource Groups (CRGs) are an integral part of Marsh's culture and ability to succeed in achieving inclusion and diversity.

Made up of colleagues who voluntarily work together to help Marsh achieve its diversity vision, each CRG plays a critical role in improving our firm's culture and environment. Providing unique perspectives from across the organisation, each CRG focuses on our ability to hire, develop, and retain the best talent; work with an increasingly diverse client base; and connect to the increasingly diverse communities in which our colleagues and clients live and work. Our CRGs currently cross the following communities:

  • Women
  • Racial and Ethnic Diversity
  • Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender
  • Disability
  • Veterans
  • Rising Professionals/Emerging Leaders
  • Working Family
  • Community Involvement
