Ian Hodson head of reward for University of Lincoln on how to build long-term financial wellbeing

Ian Hodson, head of reward and deputy director of HR at University of Lincoln, and Kath Sinclair, corporate relationship manager for WEALTH at Work, discuss how the University has built an effective long-term financial wellbeing strategy that enables employees to retire healthy and happy.

Speaking at REBA's Employee Wellbeing Congress, Hodson explained how one of the challenges of creating a strategy in an educational setting such as a University was dealing with a multi-generational workforce. As such, they have had to approach the issue of retirement as a journey with a life-stage financial wellbeing strategy.

In order to engage employees, the University decided to give staff tools for self-assessment which gave them a sense of ownership of their financial wellbeing.
