Insurance is always looked at as an old boys’ club. In many regards, it is. Just attend any industry event and you can count a stagger number of balding white men. But we all know several, if not many, women who have climbed the industry ladder to put their stamp on the world of insurance.
Now, the National Association for Female Executives is suggesting that insurance is just the place for women to make their careers. The organization included nine insurers among their list of “The Top 50 Companies for Executive Women”: Aetna, Allstate Insurance Company, MetLife, State Farm Insurance, HSBC North America, New York Life, Prudential Financial, The Principal Financial Group, and WellPoint.
These and the other honorees were described as “stellar workplaces [that] assure winning career paths for female talent.”
