Amanda Blanc, the chief executive of Aviva, has said all senior white male recruits must get final sign-off from her as part of a diversity drive to stamp out sexism in the financial services industry.
This smug witch needs suing for discrimination.
There’s currently no explanation as to why it is possible for a for-profit company to behave like this.
There must be some explanation beyond “they’ve gone woke,” but no one is revealing this explanation.
Ultimately, the government is responsible for regulating the behavior of these companies.
It appears that the government is enforcing a program on these for-profit companies, and the companies, understanding the program, get ahead of it to avoid regulation.
That is the obvious explanation.
The female CEO of insurance company Aviva has said that senior white male recruits must get the final sign off by herself, as part of the firm’s aims to improve diversity.
Amanda Blanc, who became the company’s first female CEO in 2020, has brought in the policy in order to eliminate sexism in the financial services industry.
Speaking to a parliamentary committee, she said that “there is no non-diverse hire at Aviva without it being signed off by me and the chief people officer”.
“Not because I don’t trust my team but [because] I want to make sure that the process followed for that recruitment has been diverse, has been properly done and is not just a phone call to a mate saying, ‘would you like a job, pop up and we’ll fix it up for you’,” she said at the Sexism in the City inquiry yesterday.
