Gen Z is set to change the workplace – and organisations that don’t adapt could find themselves struggling to compete for the best talent

Mike Davies, Managing Director & CEO and Lisa Kirkwood-Jones, Sales & Marketing Director of BI WORLDWIDE speak at REBA’s Future Forum 2022.

Companies who invest in a personalised employee experience benefit from 4.2x higher average profit than their competitors, research shows

Employees born between 1965 and 1980 were the generation caught in the middle of pension changes that left many without decent retirement savings

Younger employees tend to have different needs to older ones – but the way to approach both is the same: good communication

Almost one-quarter of companies struggle to recruit and retain older talent – to their detriment

Digital solutions existed have the potential to let every employee in the workplace have a voice and be heard

We do naturally see ebbs and flows in pay movement and what feels heightened now will in time be part of a wave.

The needs of younger employees is coming increasingly under the HR lens. Financial wellbeing is a key area of concern for this Gen Z – those born from 1996 to 2012, the eldest of which are in the early stages of their careers.

It's no secret that people are living and working for longer, thanks to healthier lifestyles and advancing healthcare. However, have employers truly considered what this means for their workforce?

Research by Close Brothers Asset Management in March 2021, found that around one in 10 workers were thinking of taking early retirement as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The pandemic has affected people in different ways. A lot of people may have found remote working a positive experience, but others report negative impacts of working from home, and are looking forward to coming back into the workplace, says Pippa Andrews, director of corporate business, Vitality Health.

The world’s first global financial wellbeing research, Disrupting money habits, aims to break down the disparate financial needs, habits and behaviours of over 11,500 people around the world. This report from nudge looks to uncover how employers can break cycles of financial exclusion and build truly inclusive global financial wellbeing strategies.

The wellbeing technology space is currently valued at more than $9 billion. From virtual counsellors to mental health chatbots and telemedicine, the market is only going to get more investment as we recover from the largest health trauma experienced in generations. Yet, despite growing demand for more wellbeing support, at a time when many employers have recognised the risk associated with living more digital lives, adding more tech to the pile is a decision many employers are making with caution.
