2026 Human Capital Outlook:  5 Forces to Act on

HR leaders and Reward & Benefits specialists are well-versed in navigating the needs of a multigenerational workforce.  However, it’s hard to ignore the voices of two specific generations, asking very different things from their employers: both have needs that are critical to their retention.  

Join us as we explore the contrasting needs of Gen Z and Gen X. Our Gen Z colleagues, known for their future-focused mindset, clear demand for hyper-personalised support, and an eye on long-term career expectations. Gen X sitting squarely in the sandwich generation, balancing care for both young and old, their immediate requirements include reducing work/life stress through flexible working and flexible care solutions for both children and elderly parents. Cost of living pressures take their toll on both generations, while the budget pressures are real for employers.   

This session will unpack what it really takes to engage, retain, and empower these two pivotal groups—and how smart investment in wellbeing, flexibility, and family support solutions across all life stages can drive ROI across your workforce. 

Key Learnings: 

- The needs behind the stereotypes: Get expert insights you can actively put into practice to engage your workforce. 

- Real world research data: when it comes to family life, understand what Gen Z and Gen X are looking for in their next employer; and what immediately alienates them. 

- Why it is worth investing: analyse the ROI when you provide the supports your multigenerational workforce demands. 

 

Why Attend? 

This is for all HR, reward, benefits and people leaders looking to: 

- Engage multiple generations and meet the needs of every life stage at work 

- Retain talented parents and carers with cutting edge strategies 

- Understand the trends and stay ahead. 

- Enjoy a lively hour of discussion and insight with actionable take-aways

Join our webinar on Thursday 13th June at 10am to hear a comprehensive action plan for HR professionals who want to introduce a fertility benefit at their company.

Attend this session to hear Kirsty McLean, Head of Wellbeing at Nomura UK, and 
Becky Kearns, Co-Founder of Fertility Matters at Work and ex-HR professional at HR at Vision Express, e-on, Mars and M&S, discussing what fertility benefits are, how they work and how they affect employees. 

They will then answer these key questions for anyone looking to implement a fertility benefit at their company:

How do you get executive buy-in for your fertility benefit initiative?
How can you add a fertility benefit to your existing health insurance cover?
How can you ensure the benefit is inclusive to same sex couples and single parents?
How much will a fertility benefit cost at your company?
Why is it important that your benefit provider offers at-home scans and consultations? 
How can you set up, or get support from, a fertility ESG?

The UK is experiencing a work engagement crisis, with a recent Gallop study showing that only 10% of employees are engaged at work, compared to 34% in the USA and 33% in India. Also, while 61% expect a fertility benefit, only 17% of UK employers offer one, compared to 39% in the states.

Offering a fertility benefit at work shows you care for your colleagues and support them at stressful times in their life. This in turn will strengthen their emotional bond and commitment to your company.
