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

Legal & General Group Protection has partnered with Ergocom to offer career support for employees recovering from illness or injury and receiving financial assistance through a Group Income Protection (GIP) claim, which provides income during long-term sick leave.

The programme includes vocational coaching, CV help, interview preparation, and targeted support for groups like workers over 50. Ergocom’s experts will offer personalised counselling, coaching, and training in various formats, including online and self-directed learning.

Ergocom director and occupational therapist Helen Valls-Russell says: “We’re really excited to partner with Legal & General, an organisation that shares our passion for taking a hands-on and proactive approach to rehabilitation. Like Legal & General, we wholeheartedly believe that good work is beneficial for health.

“And just because an individual can no longer carry out their existing role, it doesn’t mean they cannot find another, more suitable role. We have particular expertise working with complex cases and enjoy excellent results in achieving sustained return to work for these individuals.”

Legal & General group protection claims & governance director Vanessa Sallows says: “We continually review the support we provide to our clients and their employees from a claims proposition perspective, and we identified an area where we could strengthen our provision even further, following feedback from our customers.

“Ergocom bring a wealth of expertise in Vocational Redirection Assessment and Coaching, complementing the skills of our existing in-house Vocational Clinical team by helping ensure a sustainable return to work for more people following a group income protection claim, regardless of whether they’re able to return to their existing role or not.

“We’ve long known that work can be the driving force for wellbeing and a goal in recovery, wherever appropriate. Consequently, work is the driving force behind our Be Well. Get Better. Be Supported. outcomes-focused framework, and also our partnership with Ergocom, which will help to evolve and enhance our framework even further.”

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.
