The DEI Discussions #TalentofFinTech | Wendy Papworth, Global Head of Diversity and Inclusion at FNZ Group
Joining Nadia on this episode of the Talent of FinTech Podcast is Wendy Papworth, FNZ Group's first Global Head of Diversity and Inclusion.
FNZ Group's commitment to DE&I is unquestionable. And Wendy embodies the latter, taking on this role to ensure every employee is set up for success. From introducing a Menopause Policy, to furthering their Open Global Mobility policy, diversity and inclusion is considered from every lens; the notion that DE&I is agnostic of business and location is reinforced.
A crucial focus for Wendy is socioeconomic diversity. Wendy shares the shocking statistic that 9/10 people that lead a team in the financial industry come from a high socioeconomic background. Making a role in financial services accessible to everyone, irrespective of background, is crucial to furthering growth and success.
We need to understand a diverse array of life experiences and ensure they are given the space to play a central role in the development of products and solutions.
Thank you Wendy for joining us on the Talent of FinTech Podcast. This is a fantastic insight into a role that we hope will be increasingly more common across financial services.
