Fiona Christie of Leidos on corporate purpose and dovetailing it with reward and benefits
“Our values underpin what we do on a daily basis and we try to put that into our every day work,” explains Christie. “We lever our sense of purpose in the work we deliver to our customers – that’s really important to Leidos – but also in the innovation we bring to our industry.”
She goes on to explain that as their corporate purpose is all about their people, it directly impacts who they partner with for benefits. For example, when recently looking for a new employee assistance programme provider, they were keen to introduce one that included access for employees’ families. Christie believes that this type of inclusive benefit offering will be more sought after in the future.
Christie attended REBA’s exclusive Transform workplace engagement for competitive advantage – why the need to change is urgent breakfast in association with Mercer Marsh Benefits. It brought together senior reward professionals from an array of sectors to discuss the huge workforce changes which are necessitating transformational thinking on employee engagement.
