As Gen Z enter into the workplace in full force, we are starting to see the emergence of new, innovative benefits being offered in order to attract this fresh new talent. For example, Gushcloud International have recently started offering their employees ‘Tinder Leave’ – partnering with the well-known dating app to offer their employees subsidised subscriptions, and an additional paid day of leave for their staff to actively go on dates and seek out new connections in the hope of improving their Work-Love-Life balance. So, is Tinder Leave something that more companies should consider? Take a look at the article below for more information (↓) … and share your thoughts in a ‘Comment’. https://lnkd.in/e7BWfzYv

National Disability Employment Awareness Month is an annual event that takes place each October to celebrate the contributions of America’s workers with disabilities and to highlight the importance of inclusive employment policies and practices.

October marks Black History Month in the UK and Europe. Black History Month UK Month creates space for everyone to reflect on the struggle of Black people across the world to get to where they are today – and the challenges they still face. The 1920’s brainchild of Carter G Woodson, known as the father of black history, Black History Month began in the U.S. where it is now celebrated every February. It was first celebrated in the UK on 1st October 1987. To mark this year’s event, we are posting an article by Marty Belle which explores how what was once overt racism has now evolved into more subtle (and often unconscious) micro-aggressive behaviors – and how organizations should address these. https://lnkd.in/edF4Jzs5 #blackhistorymonth #humeanresources #inclusion #diversityandinclusion #culture?

Today is the last day of this year’s 'Sleeptember' campaign. Sleep is a fundamental human requirement and the third pillar of health, alongside diet and exercise. It is the foundation of good physical, mental, and emotional health. Unfortunately, in today's fast-paced world, many of us find it challenging to get the restorative sleep they need. Indeed, The Sleep Charity estimate that 40% of the population suffer with sleep issues and many do not get the support that they need. The theme for this year’s campaign is ‘workplace sleep’, so in the document below we’ve outlined some of the ways in which organizations can play in enhancing the quality of sleep for their employees (↓) ? #humanresources #mentalhealth #wellbeing #sleeptember #SleepForSafety

We all enjoy a bit of retail therapy from time to time. But, while retail therapy is fine in moderation, a more alarming trend seems to be emerging amongst younger workers: “Doom Spending”. Doom Spending describes an anxiety-fuelled purchasing trend whereby a person has become so stressed about their finances that they are spending money to alleviate that stress – thereby feeding a vicious cycle. Is this a call to action for employers: the need for financial wellbeing support. And might financial wellbeing tools such as Wagestream play a key role in meeting this growing need.
