'Non-Diverse' Candidates Are Not Hired Without My Sign Off, Says Aviva Boss.

[The_DADDY]

Amanda Blanc, the chief executive of Aviva, has said all senior white male recruits must get final sign-off from her as part of a diversity drive to stamp out sexism in the financial services industry.

 

Ms Blanc, who became Aviva’s first female chief executive in 2020, told a parliamentary committee that there was “no non-diverse hire at Aviva without it being signed off by me and the chief people officer”.

 

She said: “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 saying, ‘would you like a job, pop up and we’ll fix it up for you’.”

It seems that despite all the things white men have done to progress the human race, we're now the enemy. I suppose we'll come back into fashion the next time there's a war to be fought or something needs inventing or discovering. I wonder if her aversion to white men will apply the next time she needs a plumber, a builder, a gardener, an electrician or a mechanic.

It's funny you say that.

In recent years America's forces recruitment videos, adverts etc have gone terribly woke to the point of being truly nauseating. 

However seeing as war could be on the horizon there has been a shift, now the adverts have average Joe white/brown men in them with no hint of wokeness just as they used to

It's the same here.

It's lucky they didn't have that policy during the last war or Gracie Fields would have been fighting the Battle of Britain.

Don't worry lads, I've been informed it's 'simply business'

Oh aye - the first thought I had about the ftse100 company Aviva was Indian restaurants.
