Since 2020, the Diversity Project has partnered with Women Returners, the Return to Work Specialists, to deliver the Diversity Project: Cross-Company Returner Programme, a 6-month returnship. The aim of the programme is to increase diversity in gender, ethnicity, age and experience within the Investment and Savings Sector. It is an opportunity for Diversity Project members to benefit from an experienced talent pool of professionals and to collaborate to drive the diversity agenda at a sector level.
The programme targets experienced professionals who have taken a career break of 18 months or more. It is a fully supported route back to work, including the coaching delivered as a cohort providing cross-company peer support network, an internal mentor and a buddy.
2022 highlights so far.. which launched in April this year, the number of employers has gone up from 7 to 10: abrdn, AON, Aviva Investors, DWS, Fidelity International, Janus Henderson, Northern Trust, PGIM Fixed Income, Schroders, WTW. The number of returners went up to 27.
This year, the roles are varied and include; Research Analyst, Responsible Investment Manager, Consultant in Investment Consulting team, Global Equity Analyst, Assistant Fund Manager, Investment Director, Project Manager, Business Change Senior Manager, Portfolio Engineer, Credit Analyst, Manager Research Analyst, ESG Analyst and Portfolio Manager
In 2021, 86% of the 20 returners secured permanent roles.
In the pilot in 2020, we had five participating organisations and 11 returners that were primarily placed in front office roles and also included project and change management. The programme was successful for both the participating organisations and the returners, with 9 out of 11 returners securing permanent employment at the end of the programme.
