Join Alliance for Finance, and Linda Somerville (the Deputy Secretary of the Scottish TUC), for a discussion looking at how employers have reacted to soaring inflation, the energy crisis, and how they are supporting their staff.
The UK has experienced an extended time of rising prices, whether that be food, energy, or fuel, and increasingly people are struggling to make ends meet as a result.
Many employers have needed to step in to support their employees, including finance employers who have offered one-off cost of living payments, lump sum increases, and pay rises well beyond what we have been used to over the last 30 years or so. However, we have still seen below inflation increases, and the strain on people’s wallets is concerning.
But there is
help available for people in the sector, and this webinar looks at some of the
support that's on hand.
Also joining the discussion are members of The Insurance Charities, The Bank Worker’s Charity, and the Money Charity. They'll let you know what help these organisations can give, which varies from financial support to emotional support and housing advice.
This event was hosted by the Alliance for Finance using the Teams platform. Accord is not responsible for this material.

In this webinar from the Bank Workers Charity, we’ll see how cancer is becoming a wellbeing priority in the workplace. We'll also look at the issues faced by someone living with cancer and consider the kinds of workplace support that can be most helpful to them. This is a free webinar and open to all members.
Every demographic has its own critical issues when it comes to healthcare. For men, two things stand out. The suicide rate is worryingly high, whilst prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK. The persistence of these health issues and others among men is aggravated by their reluctance to visit their GP, to seek help from a counsellor or to ask for support. This is a free webinar, open to all members.
We've teamed up with the Bank Workers Charity to look at how we can create a work culture where it is safe to come forward to talk about abuse and access support. We also look at examples of the support available through the Bank Workers Charity. This is a free webinar, open to all members.
