Across all the changes of the last five years, wellbeing has remained a key focus for leading employers. It is seen as essential for talent retention, attraction, and enhancing employee experience.
Today’s workplace often spans five or more generations, and the number of wellbeing benefits on offer can be overwhelming. So how can employers build a coherent, inclusive strategy?
In this session, Andrei Ursu of Bloomberg and Benedict Gautrey of Great Places to Work will explore how focusing on family support creates a solid foundation for wellbeing across life stages. This includes a broad definition of family—children, elder relatives, partners, family-forming journeys, pets, and various family structures.
Jennifer Liston-Smith of Bright Horizons will share insights from the 2024 Modern Families Index, including the intersectional needs of the ‘sandwich generation’ caring for both children and older dependants.
Join this lively discussion as we cover:
- Practical and strategic actions from leading employers across life stages
- High engagement strategies through inclusive support at the point of need
- The role of networks and champions in shaping and communicating wellbeing policies
