The priorities for staff training is usually ensuring it is relevant and useful for the workforce. And rightly so. But done right, training can also improve organisational resilience and reduce the likelihood of legal claims, which in turn leads to lower insurance premiums. So, a win-win for your people and the wider business.

This People Management Insight podcast, presented in partnership with NEBOSH, will focus on how organisations can achieve demonstrable ROI on their training budgets, delivering effective and engaging training for staff, while also making the overall business significantly stronger.

The podcast will include insights from professionals from the training, legal, and insurance worlds, and will cover the following, and more:

• How relevant and measurable training improves legal compliance
• How training can reduce insurance premiums
• How to offer value-adding training courses

A surprising benefit of the pandemic for many people was the ability to spend more time at home. Instead of getting up early for the daily commute, people could enjoy an extra hour in bed and spend time with their families. Following the return to the office, many businesses have opted for a hybrid working model, allowing employees to retain these benefits.

For many, though, there is a downside to hybrid working. Feeling overwhelmed by tasks, lack of contact with team members, and difficulties in separating work and home life have created new wellbeing issues. So, how can we address these? We get the expert thoughts of Arti Kashyap Aynsley, global head of wellbeing & inclusion at Ocado, and Jacqui Summons, chief people officer at EMIS Health.

Other discussion points in the podcast include:

• What efforts can be made to encourage communication between staff at home and those working in the office? What are the implications of this for inclusion and diversity and how can technology help?
• What channels exist for employees to voice their concerns and preferences surrounding hybrid working and why is it so important to take a collaborative approach?
• How can line managers co-create ‘good’ jobs so that they balance the wellbeing needs of individual team members with the goals of the wider business?
• What socialisation opportunities exist for remote workers and how can they be brought into the culture of the organisation?

Award-winning psychologist and bestselling HR author Gethin Nadin, who is chief innovation officer at Zellis, and Jamie Broadley, group head of health & wellbeing at Serco, tell us why employers have a moral obligation to identify employees who may be living on the breadline and find ways to help them recover.

Other discussion points in the podcast include:

• What can businesses do to ease employee stress during the current cost of living crisis?
• How can an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) benefit your staff and improve retention, new recruitment and prevent absence from work?
• How can you identify an employee who is struggling financially and how can putting a financial health policy in place help?
• What are the key benefits that can help people who are struggling to make ends meet?
