With benefits being the second largest expenditure, HR and Reward leaders face significant challenges in effectively communicating them.

This often leads to disengagement and underutilisation of available benefits. With traditional and one-size-fits-all communication methods frequently falling short, this workshop brings together senior reward and benefits leaders to explore strategies for enhancing communications, aiming to deliver maximum return on investment for both your organisation and its people.

Working carers are 1.7 times more likely to experience mental health issues and 1.5 times more likely to suffer musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions than their non-caring peers. Without targeted support, the growing burden of adult care threatens not just employee wellbeing, but the resilience and productivity of organisations. With birth rates falling, chronic illness rising and an ageing population, the UK workforce is already caring for more adults than children. The "sandwich generation" will soon be the largest segment of our workforce. Yet many employers continue to treat adult care as a minor issue, mistakenly assuming that "elderly care" solutions are simply an extension of childcare benefits. The truth is that adults aged 18–67 need support and they are still very much in the workforce. This is not just a wellbeing issue, it’s a strategic people risk. Is your organisaton ready for this profound shift in care responsibilities?
