Welcome to your HRD Connect daily update!

Making financial wellness personal to your workforce

The term ‘financial wellness’ doesn’t depend on your general wealth or salary. It’s defined by the act of managing personal financial situations and budgeting within the confines of your own earnings – and doing it in a confident and secure way.

In 2015, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) published a report focusing on financial wellbeing defined as “a state of being wherein you:

  • Have control over day-to-day, month-to-month finances;
  • Have the capacity to absorb a financial shock;
  • Are on track to meet your financial goals; and
  • Have the financial freedom to make the choices that allow you to enjoy life

Recently Aon conducted the Aon Financial Wellbeing and DC Pension Member Survey 2018, this particular report was called “Living the Dream?” We spoke exclusively with Steven Leigh a Senior Consultant at Aon to find out more, read the full interview below.

How culture improves mental ill health at NSPCC

HRD Connect spoke with Brett Terry, People Director at NSPCC, discussed with us how to reduce mental ill health through workplace culture and environment. Brett discusses how crucial culture is when fostering a mentally healthy working environment.

Increasing workplace diversity

Marking National Coming Out Day 2018, to say that diversity in the workplace is important is an understatement.

To get the best from a workforce, organisations need to create an environment where individuals feel that they can bring every aspect of themselves to work. We find out how employers can continue to be more and more inclusive.
