Channelling valuable thought leadership from experts and academics to those actively involved in the HR field, delivering knowledge to transform HR practitioners’ approach in a challenging and ever-evolving business environment.

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?

Building a skills-based talent strategy

A study by Monster revealed that 76% of respondents consider a diverse workforce to be a crucial factor when evaluating companies and job offers. This demonstrates the pivotal role diversity and inclusion play in attracting and retaining the best talent, but despite best efforts, the persistence of unconscious bias remains a significant obstacle for many organisations impacting their overall performance.

Join our experts Clare Keniry, Board Director and Morgan Hunt, and Stephen Cuppello, Senior Manager of Psychology at Thomas on Thursday 19th October at 11.00am BST where they will discuss how to tackle unconscious bias and share strategies to foster inclusivity in recruitment.

Our experts will discuss:

•                     Strategies to improve diversity and inclusion in the recruitment process

 This webinar is for HR, C Suite executives, and Recruitment and Talent Acquisition professionals who are looking for actionable insights to tackle unconscious bias and encourage diversity in their recruitment strategies.

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.

It may surprise you to discover the range of sectors already putting such supports in place in order to attract talent to key roles, retain loyal staff, and empower people to attend central offices.

Join this lively conversation, as we discuss:

•             Innovative employer examples on supporting employees’ family life

•             New research showing what ‘good’ looks like on everything from new parents to ongoing family life in all its diversity. 

•             How to benchmark your practice on parental leave and other family policies and supports

Older workers and carers have left the workforce in disproportionate numbers since 2020. Let’s look together at what attracts and retains this important segment of talent. In the UK Spring Budget, those aged 50+ were among the three groups targeted to fill the skills gaps and drive UK economic growth (along with parents and people with long-term illness). Even before Covid-19, we were recruiting as employers from within an ageing workforce. By mid-2014, the UK average age exceeded 40 for the first time. By 2040, nearly one in seven people is projected to be aged over 75 (according to Government Office for Science figures). 

50+ workers are people with experience, often seniority and increasingly complicated lives. According to Carers UK, out of an estimated over 10 million UK carers, one in seven are juggling work and care. Between 2010-2020, people aged 46-65 were the largest age group to become unpaid carers. 

This timely webinar comes hot on the heels of Carers Week and focuses on practical steps employers can take to both attract and retain the talents of older workers and those who are carers. 

Join this lively conversation, as we discuss:

• The current picture on older workers, carers and their needs from employers – latest research and statistics
• What works and what doesn’t – real solutions to make work attractive and sustainable for both 50+ workers and those who are caring for other adult dependents. 
• What does the future hold? Hear from the experts on coming trends to enable you to get ahead as employers.

Older Workers and Carers – the key to employers’ skills gaps

What’s the state of DEI in Europe in the eyes of HR decision makers and employees? In March 2023, Culture Amp ran an international research project with over 5,000 employees and 1,250 HR decision makers to understand the state of DEI in the UK, Germany, Netherlands, US and Canada.

In this webinar, Culture Amp will share the most interesting results, including insights on which DEI initiatives companies prioritise and why, and how employees rate their DEI experience. We will also discuss initiatives that can help companies to build a more equitable and inclusive workplace for everyone.

Top five latest findings on DEI and how to take action

In this exclusive HR in Review episode, James Marsh is joined once again by Jessica Brannigan from Culture AMP. Jessica speaks about DEI and the latest research they've done in partnership with Censuswide.


Guest: Jessica Brannigan

Jessica is a Lead People Scientist at Culture Amp. Her specialities include business psychology, change management and business process improvement.

Jessica is a business psychologist with over 15+ years of experience working in HR. She has a Master of Science (MSc) in Occupational Psychology and a Diploma in Business Management.

Questions For Jessica Include:

- Tell us about the research on DEI in partnership with Censuswide

- Just from your perspective at Culture Amp,  just cover off the very basics for us. What is DE&I ?

- I know there's a lot of data from your research. But just at the highest level, what's the sort of the headline finding from the research, would you say? 

- And your research highlights some worrying insights in relation to discrimination. First, tell us what you found there.

- And you said at the top that part of the research you did, you surveyed HR Practitioners but also looked at employees at large as well. How does all of this impact the employee perception of DEI in their workplace?

- In the research you also looked at the representation of marginalised groups as part of this work, as sort of all levels of the organisation. What did you find there?

Latest findings on DEI and how to take action

As we navigate the global talent shortage, it's become clear that organisations need to think differently about talent. By prioritising skills over traditional job roles, organisations can reap huge benefits - from increased retention of high performers to improved DEI outcomes and greater productivity.

But this is a significant change for organisations and particularly for Talent Acquisition teams, and practice has some way to go to keep up with the rhetoric.

Join us in this upcoming webinar to explore:

- The case for change for becoming a skills-based organisation
- What a strategic skills-based TA operating model means for the future of TA
- How TA can enable and drive skills-based approaches in their organisation

Skills-Based Organisations and the Future of Talent Acquisition

To achieve true enterprise transformation, businesses today need to be focused on building a culture of learning centered around upskilling their talent in power skills and the in-demand tech they need to be successful. 

By investing in the development of their employees, organisations can build a sustainable workforce, one that performs and adapts as the organisation does — resulting in business growth. 

So, how do companies manage business growth while also supporting their team’s individual goals? 

In this panel discussion we will consider;

- Building sustainable learning programs that fit with business and individual needs
- Best practices for assessment and measurement
- Scaling development practices across your organisation
- An in depth look at the Deutsche Post DHL case study
