Better Being Series: Understanding Burnout in the WorkplaceOn a surprisingly chilly day in April this year, 150 UK clients came together with Aon leaders and experts from around the world at the Biltmore Hotel in London, for our first ever Aon Insights Series devoted to the UK market.
The day’s sessions covered everything from macroeconomics to cyber security and workforce planning to geopolitics. We also learned valuable insights from a wide range of companies, including Associated British Foods, Pearson, HSBC and Dow Chemicals, to name but a few.
The key findings of our discussions on the day are outlined here in this special report. Over the course of the day, I noticed that a number of key themes emerged. Firstly, that business leaders are telling us that maintaining a competitive advantage while managing balance sheets, talent and sustainable growth is complex in today’s fast-evolving landscape. And secondly, that risk resilience and workforce sustainability are fundamental to the success of any organisation navigating a complex and volatile geopolitical and macroeconomic landscape.
Whether risks stem from the latest advances in technology, supply chain dependence, climate exposure or a shortage of key talent, businesses can only become better informed and advised about key decisions through actionable analytics, globally integrated capabilities and locally relevant expertise.
Thank you to everyone who took part in our Aon Insights Series and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
Our Better Being podcast series, hosted by Aon Chief Wellbeing Officer Rachel Fellowes, explores wellbeing strategies and resilience. This season we cover human sustainability, kindness in the workplace, how to measure wellbeing, managing grief and more.
