Make the most out of your employee feedback

Across all the changes of the last 5 years, Wellbeing has stayed firmly on the agenda for leading employers. It’s seen as a vital focus for talent retention, attraction and employee experience among the most competitive employers. Now with five (or more) generations in the workplace and a dizzying array of wellbeing benefits available, how do you achieve a coherent strategy?

Andrei Ursu of Bloomberg and Benedict Gautrey of Great Places to work will discuss how paying attention to family support gives a clear backbone to a wellbeing policy across life stages. This requires a wide definition of family (including children of all ages, elder relatives, partners, family-forming, pets to name a few, among a diverse range of family structures and partnerships).

Jennifer Liston-Smith of Bright Horizons will delve deeper into their 2024 Modern Families Index to explore – among other things – the intersectional needs of the sandwich generation with children and elder dependants and the need for smart thinking in addressing family support.

Join this lively conversation, with our panel of leading thinkers, as we discuss:

- Practical and strategic actions being taken by leading employers across life stages.
- How to achieve high engagement through innovative strategies for inclusion at the point of need.
- The role of networks and champions in communicating and shaping wellbeing benefits

4 strategies for building a world class workforce

The post-pandemic world promised a significant shift in roles and responsibilities of men and women when it came to family and work. Many men had taken a more active role in the home during lockdowns and Generation Z and Millennial fathers were already vocal in expecting more flexibility at work around family life. Gender Pay Gap reporting resumed, and many organisations returned to ambitious targets for gender representation at senior levels. 

However, as 2024 gets underway, families are still struggling under cost-of-living pressures and – amid a pull back toward central offices – many women opt to remain in hybrid or remote roles, to save on after-school and wraparound care. As a result, some feel less visible at work, and lacking in practical support to pursue progression. Is there instead a pending crisis for employers and their gender representation targets?

Upcoming research, Bright Horizons Modern Families Index, will be published at the beginning of February (surveying over 3,000 working parents) highlighting fascinating statistics around this very topic, including insightful comparisons to last year’s figures!

Join this lively conversation, as we discuss:
• Latest research on male and female attitudes to work-life fit and the risk associated with these.
• Insightful employer examples and what works for gender inclusion and career progression.
• As we approach International Women’s Day (8th March) what can, and should, employers be doing to support parents and carers of all genders with the mental load?

Is the New Normal Reinforcing Gender Stereotypes?

A report from Glassdoor revealed 76% of hiring managers find attracting the right job candidates to be their greatest challenge highlighting the intense competition for top talent in today's job market.

In the recently published 2023 UK Benefits Strategy & Benchmarking survey conducted by Gallagher, the top challenges cited by respondents included, the relationship between getting the right benefits design and effectively communicating the benefits available.

Nearly all companies will be at different points on their benefits journey and understanding the nuances of benefits design and communication can often be overlooked.

In this podcast, reward expert Sarah Jefferys, Head of Reward Consulting at Gallagher and Andrew Drake, Director of People Experience Consulting at Gallagher put forward their cases in a lively debate about the importance of design v communication, which should you prioritise and why.

The Great Benefits Debate - Design vs Comms

Organisations need the right workforce skills to deliver on growth in a constantly evolving business landscape, with Talent scarcity continuing to be a major concern for many organisations.

With persistent inflation, higher operational costs and the need for businesses to conserve cash to preserve operating margins, many are finding it hard to achieve a balance between optimising people spend and planning sufficiently for the future.

In response to this, many organisations are increasingly focusing on talent mobility to “build from within,” as well as taking a more strategic, data-led approach to “buying in” specific skills.

Join experts from Aon live to discuss these questions:

-           Which workforce skills do you need now and in the future?

-           What skills does your workforce currently possess and where are there gaps?

-           How do you assess against these skills as part of your selection process?

Unveiling Bias: How To Implement Inclusive Hiring Practices

Anyone in HR knows that our employees’ families have come more firmly into view in the last 3 years. With the labour market still tight, employers are competing to offer packages that make life easier, whatever ‘family’ may mean for their talented workers.

Join this lively conversation, as we discuss:
