Because the world is moving fast, health and protection also needs to. To equip advisers with the knowledge they need to meet the needs of clients in an ever-changing market, our webinar series Forward Thinking with Vitality will get under the skin of the most pressing issues impacting protection and health advisers today. Join our monthly panel of industry thinkers and market commentators to debate the hottest topics, tackle the most current conversations and unpack the latest industry insights.
A decade in decline: Tackling the workplace productivity crisis
Over the past 10 years, the UK has been marked by an unprecedented period of low productivity with levels of economic inactivity reaching all-time highs and around four million people predicted to be living in poor health by 2040. All of this is significantly impacting the UK workforce. Organisations have grappled with a global pandemic, the emergence of hybrid working and changing employee expectations as corporate culture has changed drastically and responsibility for staff wellbeing has shifted onto employers in recent years.
On this Forward Thinking webinar, a panel of experts will delve into the data to not just explore how the workplace has changed in recent times, but to examine what's next for the UK workforce and what steps we can all take to help tackle the UK productivity crisis.
Has the tide turned on income protection?
Few would disagree that income protection (IP) should be prioritised within a client’s hierarchy of protection needs. In recent years, campaigning by the industry and increased awareness, as well as new regulations like Consumer Duty have led to a marked increase in IP sales.
At the same time, we continue to face economic and health uncertainty, with record numbers out of work due to long-term sickness absence and household financial vulnerability remaining high. We’re also seeing big changes in the way people live and work.
On this webinar we heard from leading industry voices as we discuss the changing market, how advisers can grow their protection business and whether the tide has finally turned for income protection.
Panel: Andy Walton - Protection Proposition Director, Mortgage Advice Bureau;
Michelle Grant - Senior Adviser and Income Protection Specialist, LifeSearch;
Katy Davies - Protection Adviser, Hanbury Wealth Management.;
Juliette Meads, National Account Manager, Vitality
Healthier people, healthier planet: Maximising the ESG opportunity
Businesses are becoming increasingly aware of the need to deliver on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations, but are they using this opportunity to prioritise the health and wellbeing of their workforce enough?
In this webinar, we explore the connections between environmental, social and governance within organisations, and how they can be incorporated into workplace wellbeing schemes to improve staff productivity and be used to create buy-in at board level.
Panel: Deepak Jobanputra - Chief Sustainability Officer, Vitality;
Pippa Andrews - Director of Corporate Business, Vitality;
Crista Cullen - Businesswomen & Conversationist;
Hugh Bennett - Director of Corporate, Howden
Chair: Adam Saville, Chief Editor, Vitality
