Education provider ANZIIF has allied with insurance underwriter SURA and insurance law firm Wotton + Kearney to investigate a common issue affecting organisations all over the world.

Insurance professionals are urged to support the research on unconscious bias in Australian and New Zealand organisations, commissioned to Jennifer Whelan, founding director of Psynapse Psychometrics, by participating in an online survey.

Findings will be presented at the fifth Dive In Festival, to be held Sept. 24-26.

“The higher the number of participants, the more accurate the results, so please share the survey with your colleagues working in the insurance sector,” said Mary Orgill, ANZIIF GM for marketing and events. “This year, ANZIIF is delighted to support a Dive In event – created by Wotton + Kearney and SURA – that is focused on better understanding and addressing unconscious bias,” Orgill said.

“This research delivers a beneficial tool for our industry’s leaders to develop better understanding of unconscious bias and the benefits of diversity in their organisations,” said Angie Zissis, SURA managing director.
