Julie Page, CEO - Aon UK, is pleased to be able to welcome you to this event, in which we will review the complex topic of ESG through the lens of socially ethical business practices.

Failure to be true to ‘good’ moral standards in respect of how you maintain professionalism in business relationships, how you treat your workforce and also initiate positive interaction with your local community, can lead to reputational damage and - in some instances - financial damage through executive liability.

Speakers

Keynote: John Neal, CEO of Lloyd’s
Julie Page, CEO – Aon UK
Dominic Christian, Global Chairman Reinsurance Solutions, Aon
Meredith Jones, Partner, Aon
John McLaughlin, Partner, Aon
Anthony Poole, Partner, Aon

Ed Smerdon, Head of Coverage - Financial & Professional Lines, Aon
Jaysen Arumugum, Enterprise Client Leader, Financial Institutions, Aon

  • Transforming workplace culture and adopting D&I practices
  • Retaining and attracting quality talent through the ‘Great Resignation’
  • Implementing strategies and solutions to strengthen effective leadership and governance
  • Reviewing protection for your board from ESG liabilities if things were to go wrong

We hope you can join us.

Standing out Amid the Great Resignation

How do you drive performance and compete for talent beyond just pay when we understand that retention is now about so much more than just paying the most – it is based on who you are as an employer, what you represent and the working life and value proposition you offer your employees.

A view on the art of the possible, the role of reward and the importance of a mature talent strategy in an evolving world.
