Against the background of an insurance talent shortage in Australia which is driving recruitment competition within the industry Gallagher is very proud to have been recognised as an Insurance Business Top Insurance Employer in the 500+ employees category for the 2nd year running.

"The Top Insurance Employer accolade reflects Gallagher's significant and ongoing investment in our people. Collaboration is critical to our culture at Gallagher ‒ our teams work hard to focus on meeting our clients' needs and delivering best in class insurance solutions. It's a true team effort to maintain our unique culture and ethical standards. We're really proud of everything we've achieved," says Sarah Lyons, Chief Executive — Gallagher Australia.

"At Gallagher we want to ensure you can be yourself. We work hard to maintain a culture of openness, inclusion and transparency in all that we do. We support and encourage everyone to be themselves and bring their diverse talents, perspectives and ideas to work. We provide the platform for our team members to succeed."

To identify the best employers in the insurance industry Insurance Business magazine invited organisations across Australia to participate through criteria encompassing key employment offerings and practices, which are then scored across a number of metrics.

How Gallagher puts leading ethical values into action
