On this page, we take a deeper look at what this means in practice.
This takes the form of clear reporting and escalation processes to ensure that the residual risk profile of the firm is appropriate and in line with the Board's risk appetite, and timely setting and regular monitoring of actions required to reduce the risk profile or improve the control environment where these are deemed appropriate.
We believe seeking to understand and mitigate systemic risks within our clients’ investments and the wider financial system is directly relevant for most of our clients, whether we are managing risk (including liability driven investment), fixed income, or another type of strategy on their behalf.
Our employees are critical stakeholders in the business. New joiners receive induction training and the opportunity to meet the CEO and the Head of Human Resources. This typically takes place a few weeks after joining Insight which gives new joiners the opportunity to review how we do things and make suggestions of how things could be improved, which is then taken on board by HR representatives.
We are a strong believer in employee development delivering a range of training programs designed to encourage employee and manager development at all levels. Our challenging environment provides the right conditions for employees to hone their skills and expertise and develop within the business.
Looking after the interests of all our people is at the heart of our firm's culture and values. At our core, we want everyone who works here to feel they have the support they need while delivering the best outcomes for our clients.
We actively encourage an environment where colleagues know they can share their views and challenge the views of others. Helping our colleagues to feel seen, heard and represented fosters a culture of high performance.
No gender, race or group has a monopoly on the talent we need to succeed. The success of our business rests on its ability to attract, retain and motivate the best people. When recruiting we cast the net wide.
