Amanda Blanc: 'No non-diverse hire at Aviva without it being signed off by me' Chief executive revealed policy to MPs on Treasury select committee yesterday
The boss of Aviva has revealed senior white male recruits have to get a final sign-off from her and the chief people officer as part of the firm's drive to improve diversity.
Amanda Blanc, who became the insurer's first female chief executive in 2020, said the policy formed part of its efforts to end sexism in the financial services industry.
The 56-year-old told MPs on the Treasury select committee that 'there is no non-diverse hire at Aviva without it being signed off by me and the chief people officer'.
Speaking at the Sexism in the City inquiry yesterday, she continued: 'Not because I don't trust my team but because I want to make sure that the process followed for that recruitment has been diverse, has been properly done and is not just a phone call to a mate to say, 'would you like a job, pop up and we'll fix it up for you'.'
Sources told MailOnline that if the preferred candidate for a senior role at the firm is not diverse - meaning they are 'not different to the majority of people' employed by Aviva - then Mrs Blanc and the chief people officer check the recruitment process.
It is also understood that the company prioritises finding the best candidate for the job, but they also want to recruit a diverse workforce. Some 5 per cent of the firm's overall roles are for senior leaders and 60 per cent of its senior leaders are men. Mrs Blanc was speaking only about senior hires at Aviva, which has 22,000 staff overall.

A reject character from the color era classic Avengers show.
I appreciate her stance on this. It makes any investment decision in this company very easy. (sell!!)
“there is no non-diverse hire at Aviva”
Translation- no “white male” need apply.
“Non-diverse” - the new euphemism for
“white” and especially white males.
Sounds like they should have vetted her first.
So, couch interviews? Laz?
“The West, us included, dies with a whimper.”
At this rate the white race will go the way of the Neanderthals.
And we have no one to blame but ourselves.
We used to kick ass and dominate the world.
In just a few decades we’ve managed to GUILT OURSELVES into a self-genocidal, groveling, slobbering blob of humanity without an ounce of self respect left.
See my tag line.
Why do I imagine that “non-diverse” hires have to leave a couple of small deposits in her metal lockbox?
“..Why do I imagine that “non-diverse” hires have to leave a couple of small deposits in her metal lockbox?...”
Oh, you mean the one wrapped around her crotch....tsk, tsk.
You might want to consider the cause: women voting…
The interview is conducted out in the fields.
The white men need to prove they are good at picking cotton.
She is wearing a Hillary Clinton curtain dress.
If she sits on a couch, you won’t know where she is. /spit
“Amanda Blanc, Aviva CEO”
“Blanc” of course means WHITE in French
And A Man, Duh? Google says it means “loved one” in Latin
Aviva in Spanish and French - to make bright, to rekindle.
I think she’s playing us!
She’s going to rekindle love of white men!
Did she go to Harvard, cuz sounds like it’d suit her.
The “modern” woman has done more to destroy Western Civilization than any man could dream of. Not one shot has to be fired. The West is hanging itself. The fight for society seems to be women, Islam, and China vs America as founded.
Oh how easy it was for Nazism to return. This time they’ll succeed in ruling most of the world.
