Aligned with its founding principles to help improve the lives of everyone, People’s Partnership firmly believes that a diverse workforce leads to increased innovation and success. By sponsoring two of the Women in Pensions Awards – Unsung Hero and Adviser of the Year – it aims to inspire future generations of female leaders in the industry and remain at the forefront of shaping a more inclusive and equitable pension landscape.
