Why Your Support Matters

Face It. Gender balance is underway.
51% of college graduates are now female!

By supporting the mission and work of WIFS, you become part of a growing, vibrant organization poised to be the global thought leader for women in the insurance and financial services industry. Your involvement in WIFS supports the growth of educational programming and events, the expansion of mentorship programs, new aspiring chapters across the nation, the annual national conference, and much more to help attract, develop and retain women in the industry. As part of our mission, we identify industry obstacles and actively implement solutions to help our members overcome them.

• Problem: According to a McKinsey & Company survey, less than half of financial services companies have sponsorship development programs, and only 58% have formal mentorship programs, whereas 14% of women say their biggest obstacle is a lack of mentorship or sponsorship.
• Solution: WIFS offers a FREE Mentorship Program to its members.
• 95% of WIFS mentees in a formal study reported acquiring new knowledge from their mentors.
• 91% reported being better prepared for a promotion.
• 75% documented increased productivity.
• Problem: Though companies with greater gender diversity perform better, there is still an imbalance that needs to be corrected. McKinsey's research has shown that companies in the top quartile for gender diversity on executive teams were 21% more likely to outperform on profitability and 27% more likely to demonstrate superior value creation.
• Solution: Aligning your company with WIFS demonstrates a serious and proactive approach to correcting gender inequality and making it clear that women can thrive in this industry, especially within your company.
• Problem: While 95% of financial services companies track gender representation across all levels, far fewer companies have clearly defined goals for this data. Financial services companies need to set targets for female representation and promotion rates, and keep leaders accountable.
• Solution: WIFS can help you identify goals and achieve measurable success through program metrics.

With your support, we can continue work towards these solutions and attract, advance -- and RETAIN -- more women in the finance and insurance industries.
