Workshop 1 Wellbeing

As more companies switch from remote working to hybrid working, the transition to regular commuting is back. Workers are increasingly seeking out organisations that are implementing green policies and making a difference to the planet.

An EV Salary Sacrifice Scheme could make your employees’ commute to work more comfortable, save them money on running costs, reduce exhaust emissions and have less impact on the environment. All while you demonstrate your commitment to financial wellbeing and sustainability.

Join this workshop to learn how this universally popular employee benefit can:

  • Help encourage the return to the office

  • Lead to greater retention and satisfaction for your workforce

  • Assist in the talent acquisition process

Workshop 2 Equality, Diversity & Inclusion

Recent research has suggested backward moves for gender equity in the workplace. The Modern Families Index 2024 revealed women now feel less confident than men about discussing family at work and less able to progress their careers while working flexibly. However, men are almost as likely as women to say they will consider childcare before accepting a new job or promotion and equally as likely to say they will consider their eldercare needs.

Bright Horizons’ research among leading employers committed to family-inclusive cultures shows that women and men can feel equally engaged and empowered, given the right supports.

So how does it feel to be a successful working father or working male carer in 2024, balancing the demands of a senior role and family life? What keeps young fathers and male carers engaged and loyal? And among those employers getting it right, what are the most valued enablers? Among our guests, we talk to two fathers from large, high performing organisations in demanding sectors to find out.

During this workshop, you will:

  • Hear research-based insights and lived experience on the expectations of employees, across genders, on work-life balance and family life

  • Gain real-world, practical tips to help fathers and parents of all genders achieve a successful work-family balance

  • Take away action and advice you can apply for your own workforce

Workshop 3 Reward, Salary & Payroll

In today's evolving workplace, traditional pay cycles no longer meet the needs of employees. Financial stress can significantly impact engagement and attendance, making it crucial for organisations to adopt modern payroll solutions.

What you'll learn:

  • The impact of financial stress on employee engagement and retention.

  • How on-demand pay can empower employees with financial control, enhancing their overall well-being.

  • The competitive edge of offering flexible pay solutions in attracting and retaining top talent.

  • The comprehensive features of Dayforce Wallet, including on-demand pay, regular payroll deposits, and off-cycle payments—all in one streamlined solution.

Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and practical strategies to support your workforce's financial wellness. Empower your employees, boost productivity, and create a more engaged workplace with innovative payroll solutions.
