Description

Hi everyone,  we have an inbetweenysode for you with Sue Clarkson, MD of Coach House Communications. She has been doing research for Legal & General’s Group Protection arm, to analyse how much small to medium enterprises are engaging, or want to engage, with employee wellbeing practices.

We are talking about culture, storytelling and many other aspects of communication, with Sue sharing her new podcast series of 6 episodes to give you insights in this area. They’re about 15 minutes long and involve interviews with SME owners, a charity and more.  Plus there is a ‘Better Wellbeing Competition’ with Legal & General for two SMEs to win a day’s worth of internal communications consultancy with Sue.

The key takeaways:

• Culture engagement and communications of employee wellbeing are not always the skillset of the entrepreneurs that set up small companies.
• SMEs are overwhelmed and many owners are wearing multiple hats to make the business work. Having a robust employee wellbeing programme can help to manage the culture of the organisation.
• L&G have completed their Wellbeing at Work barometer and found that 2 in 5 SME’s talk to advisers about employee wellbeing, the benefits are being seen we now need to focus on engaging the other 3/5!

Next time Alain Desmier is joining us from Contact State to talk about lead generation, consumer consent online and the upcoming Consumer Duty.
