The nudgecast

An introduction

In this episode we outline the purpose of the nudgecast series: to break the conventional narrative on financial wellbeing. Providing clarity so you can create a holistic strategy that truly supports your peoples’ wellbeing. No matter who they are. 

Our host Laura Moniz de Aragao is also joined by nudge founders Tim Perkins and Jeremy Beament who talk about who nudge are, our purpose and where the idea of nudge came from.

Why financial wellbeing is critical for your wellbeing strategy

Who owns wellbeing within an organisation? What makes a wellbeing strategy successful? What role does financial wellbeing play?  

In this episode we address these critical questions with Gethin Nadin, Director of Wellbeing at Benefex and author of ‘A World of Good’ which reached the Top 5 of Amazon UK’s HR books.

Gethin challenges that it’s not always the amount of money we have that matters, it’s how we feel about it and make money work for us. We discuss how HR can avoid common pitfalls and create a culture of talking about money, integrating this approach in all areas to truly support employee wellbeing.

How to embed reward and benefits into the employee experience

In this nudgecast we speak with Tony Waters, Employee Benefits Supervisor, Europe at Cummins Business Services.

We hear his unique insight from being an early adopter of nudge in 2015, back way before financial wellbeing boomed. We discuss their journey as an organisation from using nudge to promote pensions, to using it as a tool to promote their wider reward and wellbeing benefits.

By listening you will find out how this approach has helped them reach a dispersed employee base of remote workers. Enabling them to talk to an audience one on one so their people know what is available and what they need to be thinking about to improve their wellbeing. 

Wellbeing at work, don’t overthink your business case

Can overthinking your business case for wellbeing be a distraction from success?

We are joined by Ed Airey, Group Reward Director at William Hill to hear how they have embedded wellbeing into their organisation which has a huge amount of retail employees.   

This nudgecast explores their approach to wellbeing: ensuring they have a strategy that covers social, mental, physical and financial wellbeing. And how they have used nudge to cross pollinate across other areas of reward, policy and processes.

Ed also gives us his thoughts on why HR’s job will never be done with wellbeing and why focussing too much on the business case for wellbeing can be a detriment to success.
