Advancing gender balance in our leadership team

Our focus is on enhancing the talent pipeline to achieve a gender balance in senior roles, championing gender equality for all and promoting allyship and inclusive leadership.

We have set an ambition to maintain a gender balance of 45–55% in executive roles1 by the end of 2030.

At the end of 2025, 40.4% of executive roles were held by women.

We're proud to be co-sponsor of the FTSE Women Leaders review, alongside KPMG, and to be signatories of the Women in Finance Charter.

1. Executive roles include Grade X colleagues only, subject to local laws and regulations.

We're a menopause friendly employer

Approximately 30% of our workforce is made up of women over 40, which means many of our colleagues could be experiencing symptoms of perimenopause or menopause. We want to ensure all our people are healthy at work and reach their full potential. 

Since launching the proposition, we have experienced a major cultural shift as we continue to challenge the stigma around menopause and support all our colleagues to be menopause aware and informed. 

Through our private medical support, colleagues have access to Bupa’s dedicated menopause helpline and enhanced medical support. They can also join our private internal community to share experiences with others.
