Systemic shake-up: it takes HR to do things right

The workforce has undergone significant changes, resulting in diverse needs and varying benefits requirements.

Speaking at the Benefit Expert summit Anna Cotgreave, head of reward and benefits at Clifford Chance covered how to ensure PMI offering is truly inclusive. She discussed identifying the diverse needs of a workforce and shared top tips for employers.

Cotgreave explains that according to the 2021 census data, nearly one in five of the 59.6 million UK residents belong to a non-white background. Additionally, insights reveal that menopause symptoms differ across ethnicities, and cancer rates exhibit variations – for instance, black men are more susceptible to prostate cancer than their white counterparts.

Furthermore, around 300,000 people in the UK identify differently from their assigned gender at birth, highlighting the importance of acknowledging and accommodating diverse identities in the workplace.

For employers seeking to foster inclusivity, Cotgreave suggests tips such as prioritising comprehensive data analysis beyond gender and exploring social mobility, age, and ethnicity. She said it’s crucial to examine intersections where these factors overlap.

Moreover, maintaining open communication channels for feedback ensures that every employee feels heard, and, most importantly, acting upon received feedback contributes to building a genuinely inclusive workplace.

Benefits Unboxed – Wellbeing: HR is supporting everyone, but who’s supporting HR?
byBenefits Expert from Definite Article Media

As the professionals responsible for helping their organisations navigate NI hikes, rising employee stress levels and looming redundancies, the pressure on HR, reward and benefits teams has never been greater. 

HR is expected to lead with strength and compassion. But who is supporting the supporters?

In this episode of Benefits Unboxed, co-hosts Claire Churchard, Carole Goldsmith and Steve Herbert explore the emotional and ethical pressures HR face today, from managing redundancies to implementing complex legislation. They discuss why HR’s own wellbeing may not be the first topic of conversation, the risks that poses to employers, and the practical steps businesses can take to better support the wellbeing of the people who support everyone else.

This conversation shines a light on the resilience of the profession and why looking after HR is not just the right thing to do, but a business imperative.
