Chief governance, legal, culture and corporate affairs o fficer
With 20 years of experience in the legal field, 15 of which have focused on insurance, Jenny O’Neill is perfectly positioned to oversee governance, legal, culture and corporate affairs at Hollard Insurance. O’Neill’s everyday responsibilities include everything from driving Hollard’s implementation plan and response to the APRA risk self-assessment and royal commission to articulating the company’s purpose, enhancing its employee value proposition, and leading on diversity and inclusion. Lately, her role has also included helping to create a game plan for the COVID-19 pandemic that aims for zero redundancies between March and September 2020.
“Hollard’s family culture is much of what sets us apart as an incredibly special place to work,” O’Neill says, also highlighting the company’s recognition as an Employer of Choice by Human Resources Director and its silver status on the Australian Workplace Equality Index, the national benchmark for LGBTQ workplace inclusion in Australia. “Silver status means we are in the top 20% of Australian businesses who submitted this year – and in the top three insurance companies,” O’Neill says.
As for her 2020 career goals, O’Neill has already accomplished one by celebrating her 15-year anniversary at Hollard. In addition, “I’d like for Hollard to deliver on its promise as an Employer of Choice by leading on D&I through the prism of an economic downturn and the challenges and opportunities this will present,” she says.
