Recruiters inspiring working lives

In today’s current climate, especially when taking into consideration the cost-of-living-crisis, companies are increasingly recognising the importance of fostering financial wellbeing among their employees. Financial stress can significantly impact an individual's overall well-being, leading to reduced productivity, increased absenteeism, and a decline in job satisfaction.   How are our finances and mental health linked? The intricate connection between finances and mental health is a well-established reality. In the UK, individuals facing financial challenges often experience heightened levels of stress, anxiety, and even depression. The burden of debt, the pressure to make ends meet, and the uncertainty surrounding future financial stability can take a toll on one's mental and emotional well-being. This intersection is particularly significant in the workplace, as financial stress can permeate into professional life, impacting focus, decision-making, and overall job satisfaction. Recognising this interplay is crucial for employers aiming to create a supportive and thriving work environment.   Why should employers be concerned about the financial wellbeing of their staff? Employers should have a vested interest in the financial wellbeing of their staff, as it directly correlates with the overall health of the organisation. Financially stressed employees are more likely to experience decreased job satisfaction and engagement, leading to lower productivity levels. The impact is not confined to the individual; it ripples through the entire workplace, affecting team dynamics and organisational culture. High levels of financial stress can contribute to increased absenteeism and employee turnover, in turn, elevating recruitment and training costs. Moreover, businesses that prioritise the financial wellbeing of their employees are more likely to attract and retain top talent, fostering a positive reputation and competitive edge in the job market. In essence, the financial health of employees is intricately tied to the success and sustainability of the business, making it a strategic imperative for employers to proactively address and support the financial wellbeing of their workforce.   How can you help as an employer? Employers have the power to improve both the financial and mental wellbeing of their workforce, as well as their productivity, by introducing new processes or resources that build financial resilience, creating a culture of support and providing essential help once problems have set in. Financial Education Programs Results from the Family Resources Survey (FRS) for the financial year 2020 to 2021, reported one in seven UK families reported having no savings. Highlighting the need for comprehensive financial education programs. Provide employees with resources and workshops on budgeting, saving, and investing. Offer seminars on topics like debt management, retirement planning, and financial goal setting. Comprehensive Benefits Packages Include financial wellness benefits in employee packages, such as retirement plans, health savings accounts (HSAs), and access to financial advisors. Consider offering flexible work arrangements to help employees balance work and personal financial responsibilities. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) A survey by the Mental Health Foundation found that almost one third (31%) of UK adults have felt anxious in the past month due to their personal financial situation. Implement EAPs that address not only mental health but also financial stress. Provide confidential counseling services for employees facing financial challenges. Salary Transparency and Fair Compensation Foster an open dialogue about compensation, ensuring that employees understand their salary structure and benefits. Regularly review and adjust salaries to align with market standards and employee contributions. Promotion of Work-Life Balance: Encourage a healthy work-life balance to prevent burnout and reduce the temptation of seeking additional income through multiple jobs. Offer paid time off and flexible scheduling options. Debt Relief and Assistance The Money Charity reported that, as of January 2022, the average total debt per UK household, including mortgages, was £63,122., emphasising the importance of debt management.  Explore partnerships with financial institutions to offer low-interest loans or debt consolidation programs for employees facing financial strain. Provide information on debt management and resources to help employees navigate financial challenges. Benefits of Prioritising Financial Wellbeing Improved Productivity Employees experiencing reduced financial stress are more likely to be focused and engaged at work.   Enhanced Employee Loyalty Companies that actively support their employees' financial wellbeing create a sense of loyalty and commitment.   Reduced Absenteeism Financially healthy employees are less likely to miss work due to stress-related illnesses.   Positive Company Culture Prioritising financial wellbeing fosters a positive culture that cares for its employees beyond their professional contributions.   Promoting financial wellbeing in the workplace is not just a moral imperative but also a strategic investment in the success and sustainability of a company. By implementing thoughtful initiatives, companies can empower their employees to achieve financial stability, leading to a more engaged, productive, and satisfied workforce. As we move forward, let us recognise that the health of a business is intricately tied to the financial health of its employees.

The diversity of the finance industry offers a wealth of opportunities, and consequently, the chance to choose a career that aligns most with your skills and work goals. Not only that; you can choose the entry route that best suits your learning style. So whether accountancy sparks your interest, you think investment banking could be a good option, or your interests lie in financial planning, take a look at these five key points that will help to guide you in your career decision. A choice of entry routes If you don’t already hold a finance qualification you can embark on this career through various routes. You might prefer to learn in a lecture room environment, for example, and gain an appropriate finance or business degree at university. It’s also possible to complete a degree course through the Open University and other institutions that offer courses online, or via blended learning where you study online and attend a local college or university part-time. Or perhaps learning whilst you work in a finance role is better for you? In this case, you could apply for an apprenticeship or follow a vocational/technical path and gain practical finance skills whilst earning.   A challenging but rewarding career Working as a finance professional will be challenging at times, but it also offers you a rewarding and potentially high-earning career. Once you’ve amassed some specialist knowledge and practical experience it can be financially very lucrative. It’s not only financial benefits that are on offer, however. Being involved in finance as a professional brings other rewards, including knowing that your contribution is making a positive difference in other people’s lives.   Diverse career options A range of career options within the finance industry gives you the scope to move to different roles in the future using your transferable skills – perhaps from the public to the private sector, for example. Specialising in a particular area of finance for a while, such as accounting or taxation, can be a good choice as it allows you to build up your technical know-how and your reputation within the field of expertise.   A solid career path There’s typically a clear career path in a finance role, commonly with professional mentoring and support available from the employer. One way to gain a closer picture of potential career routes that you’re interested in is to apply for internships. You’ll get the first-hand experience you need to decide your future with more confidence, and the timing will be right if you’re accepted as an intern whilst studying.   Finance is an evolving industry Finance is at the forefront of technological advancement and ‘disrupters’ to the industry, particularly in banking and financial services, make it an exciting industry in which to work. New and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, enable deep analysis of huge amounts of data and allow finance professionals to use their skills on ‘higher-level’ work. The fact that the UK is also a key international centre for finance could open up opportunities if working abroad is attractive to you or if you’d like to travel overseas in a work capacity.   Seek professional guidance when considering a finance career Making a career choice can be daunting and it’s easy to be swayed by the opinions of people close to you. That’s why it’s always a good idea to talk to independent professionals who understand the industry before making your decision. Before seeking professional career advice, you should think about the skills you can offer an employer in the finance industry, the different sectors that are open to you, and the types of work that seem most attractive.

The role of women in the workforce has evolved dramatically over the past few decades. Gone are the days when women were primarily relegated to the role of homemakers. Today, women make up a significant portion of the global workforce, juggling their professional and family responsibilities. For working mothers, in particular, the challenge of balancing work and family life is a delicate tightrope act. Recent statistics highlight this. The gender pay gap remains a significant issue, with women earning approximately 14.3% less than men, highlighting the urgency for equitable opportunities. The average weekly cost of a full-time nursery place in Great Britain was 285.31 British pounds for under twos. These high childcare costs make flexible working arrangements essential for many working mothers who need to manage both their careers and family responsibilities. 65% of working mums feel there are fewer career opportunities available to them since maternity leave. Flexible working arrangements emerged as a lifeline for working mums, providing them with the much-needed flexibility to excel in both their careers and family life. Hear From Working Mum’s at Morgan Hunt We've reached out to working mums within the Morgan Hunt team to hear from them about their experiences. Their insights shed light on the unique challenges they face and how flexible working has become an essential tool in their journey to success. Kirsty Stoddart – Senior Business Manager In her own words, Kirsty Stoddart sheds light on how flexible working has transformed her work-life balance: "In terms of flexible working I would say the working pattern I have at the moment really helps with my family life. The fact that I finish at 3pm every day gives me time to see the kids after school and get organised for after school clubs etc without having my head in the laptop at the same time! And when I asked just a few months ago to change my working pattern, it didn’t seem to be an issue to the company or my manager." She also underscores the crucial role of her manager, Gillies, in supporting her: "I know it is Morgan Hunt as a company that offers the flexible working, but also I would say the backing I get from Gillies is a massive help too as he is always understanding when 'life' happens and you need to reorganise work, etc." Kirsty also touches upon the pressure she places on herself as a part-time worker: "The only other thing I would add is that with working part-time, it is a pressure to achieve and do all parts of your role the same as a full-time member of staff. Not necessarily that anyone is putting pressure on me, but more me putting it on myself if that makes sense!" Amie Day – Business Manager Amie Day shares her own challenges as a working mum: "I have 2 children – 4 years and 2 years old and I find having a career and being a mum very hard and challenging. But Morgan Hunt have made it easier for me by allowing me to work remotely and work 4 days a week so it gives me the time to be at home and flexibility to be there for my children should I need to. It also allows me to manage my own workload and work to suit me and my family." She emphasises the importance of understanding and support: "This job is very pressurised and busy, especially being in education at the busiest time of year but having a great manager who is a father himself, he manages to see it through my eyes too. I think more people need to be understanding that not only do we do a good job, but we are a mum to very demanding little people. You need a good team network and support around you who are understanding and considerate." Annabelle Walster – Business Manager Annabelle Walster recounts her experience of returning to work after having her second child: "Returning to work after having my second child was a real shock to the system! It’s difficult to juggle the demands of being a mum whilst still being successful in your career. I am lucky to have had the support of my team in Manchester and in particular my Director, Eliot who has made retuning to work a whole lot easier with his support and understanding he has given me" She goes on to explain how flexible working has helped her: "Being able to work in a flexible way has helped me immensely! Living quite a distance from the office, working from home 3 days per week means I get to spend quality time with the children in the evening, something which wouldn’t have been possible before we worked flexibly due to the commute." Annabelle highlights the challenges of working part-time in a demanding industry: "Although for me, working 4 days a week is a huge positive, it does present challenges when working in a demanding industry such as recruitment. Having a work from home set up means I can overcome these challenges and speak to my candidates and clients outside typical working hours to ensure my business still runs smoothly!" Challenges and Future Developments Women in the UK are putting in more time at work than ever before thanks to flexible and hybrid working policies that sprang up during the pandemic, an analysis of official data by Bloomberg shows. However despite the numerous benefits of flexible working, challenges remain. There has been a push to return more workers into the office, which risks undercutting a surge in the hours the women spend on the job. Amazon has issued a warning to staff who are not spending at least three days a week in the office, with Meta releasing a similar statement. Zoom has asked employees to come in for at least two days a week. Hybrid working, such as coming into the office two to three days a week, doesn’t necessarily fall into the flexible working bracket and can bring huge benefits including improved collaboration and enhanced team dynamics. It’s important to strike the right balance and understand the nuances of hybrid and flexible working and what works for the individual.   The concern is that this shift back to the office may affect women disproportionately. The pandemic had increased men's involvement in household responsibilities as more of them worked from home. However, the return-to-office mandates by companies could undermine this progress, creating conflict in two-career households. The reduced flexibility that comes with a return to the office may lead to a less equitable division of household tasks, which in turn can impact equality at home and work. It's a reminder that the benefits of flexible working go beyond gender equality and are vital for a diverse and inclusive workforce. The Benefits of Flexible Working for Working Parents Improved Work-Life Balance: Flexible working arrangements empower working parents to better balance their career and family commitments. Reduced Stress: With more control over their schedules, working parents can reduce stress and burnout, leading to better mental and emotional well-being. Enhanced Job Loyalty: Offering flexible work options can lead to increased loyalty from working parents, as they appreciate the support provided by their employers. 9 in 10 parents said they would feel more loyal to an employer who offered them flexible working opportunities. Career Progression: Flexible working doesn't have to mean sacrificing career ambitions. Many organisations support and promote working parents, helping them advance professionally. Increased Productivity: Studies have shown that employees with flexible working arrangements often report higher productivity and job satisfaction. 9 in 10 employees consider flexible working to be a key motivator to their productivity at work. Working mums are a vital part of the modern UK workforce, and their contributions should be celebrated and supported. Flexible working arrangements provide a lifeline to working mothers, allowing them to excel in their careers while still being there for their families. As society continues to evolve, it's crucial for businesses and policymakers to prioritise and promote flexible working options. Empowering working mums is not just a matter of gender equality; it's a smart investment in a happier, healthier, and more productive workforce, and a step toward addressing the gender pay gap.

In an increasingly diverse and inclusive world, companies are becoming more aware of the value of different perspectives and unique talents that neurodiverse employees bring to the table. Neurodiversity refers to the range of neurological differences that encompass conditions like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, among others. To harness the full potential of neurodiverse employees, businesses are recognising the importance of creating neuroinclusion office designs. These environments are not only beneficial for employees with neurological differences but also contribute to a more innovative, creative, and dynamic work culture. The Importance of Neuroinclusion Office Design Neuroinclusion office design goes beyond physical spaces; it encompasses a culture of acceptance, respect, and support for neurodiverse employees. Here are some key reasons why it is important: Enhanced Productivity A well-designed neuroinclusion office can improve the productivity of neurodiverse employees. In the UK, where approximately 1 in 100 people are on the autism spectrum, a study found that accommodating neurodiversity can lead to increased productivity and business performance.   Talent Attraction and Retention Creating an inclusive workspace signals to potential hires that your company values diversity and inclusion. This is crucial in the UK, where only 22% of autistic adults are currently in any kind of paid employment. An inclusive workplace can help retain neurodiverse employees, reducing turnover and the costs associated with hiring and training new staff.   Increased Innovation Neurodiverse individuals often possess unique skills and perspectives that can contribute to innovative problem-solving and creativity. By fostering a neuroinclusion office design, the UK workplace can tap into this potential and lead to more innovative solutions and ideas.   Compliance with Legal Standards In the UK, the Equality Act 2010 protects employees and job applicants from discrimination on the grounds of disability. A neuroinclusion office design demonstrates a commitment to compliance and social responsibility.   Positive Public Image 90% of the British public believes that employers should do more to support neurodiverse individuals. Companies that champion neuroinclusion gain a positive reputation, attracting customers and partners who appreciate diversity and inclusive business practices. The Benefits of Neurodiverse Employees Neurodiverse employees bring a unique set of skills and perspectives to a team. Recognising and harnessing these benefits can lead to a more dynamic and high-performing workplace: Attention to Detail Some neurodiverse individuals have an exceptional ability to focus on intricate details, making them invaluable for tasks that require precision, quality control, and pattern recognition.   Creative Problem-Solving Neurodiverse individuals often approach problems from unconventional angles, thinking "outside the box." This innovative thinking can lead to breakthrough solutions and ideas.   Reliability and Consistency Many neurodiverse employees excel in routines and can be relied upon to deliver consistent and high-quality work.   Diverse Perspectives Embracing neurodiversity enriches your team with a broader range of perspectives, leading to more robust decision-making and problem-solving. Creating a Neuroinclusion Office Design To create a neuroinclusion office design in the UK, consider the following strategies: Sensory-Friendly Spaces Design areas that cater to a variety of sensory needs. This includes quiet rooms for focus, adjustable lighting, noise-cancelling headphones, and comfortable furniture.   Flexible Workstations Allow for flexibility in desk arrangements, giving employees the option to choose an environment that suits their needs.   Clear Communication Implement clear communication strategies, such as visual schedules, to facilitate understanding and reduce anxiety for neurodiverse employees.   Training and Awareness Provide training for all employees to raise awareness about neurodiversity and create a supportive workplace culture.   Reasonable Accommodations Offer individualised accommodations to support the specific needs of neurodiverse employees. These may include flexible work hours, assistive technologies, or ergonomic adjustments. In conclusion, neuroinclusion office design is a critical aspect of fostering a diverse, inclusive, and innovative workplace in the UK. By recognising the value of neurodiverse employees and creating an environment that supports their unique needs, companies can harness the full potential of their teams, improve productivity, and contribute to a more inclusive and equitable future for all employees.
