Company unveils 'robust plan of action to create a safe and inclusive working environment'
Lloyd’s of London has promised strong action over sexual harassment after the centuries-old insurance market faced damaging allegations from female staff.
Neal’s comments, contained in a statement showing that Lloyd’s halved pre-tax losses in 2018, came one day after it unveiled “a robust plan of action to address reports of sexual harassment in the Lloyd’s market and create a safe and inclusive working environment”. In response, Lloyd’s promised a series of measures, including the “provision of an independently managed, confidential and market-wide access point for reporting inappropriate behaviour”. It would also offer “training focused on prevention, as well as reporting and supporting those who have been subjected to inappropriate behaviour”.
“No one should be subjected to this sort of behaviour, and if it does happen, everyone has the right to be heard and for those responsible to be held to account,” he said.
