HR Focus (5): How to align wellbeing and...

HR Magazine
About this episode

As the health of our natural environment declines, employers are under increasing pressure to look after the health and wellbeing of employees, and to take meaningful actions, rather than greenwashing – paying lip service to environmental commitments.

To help HR professionals align these priorities, we gathered insights from two leaders of the healthcare and insurance provider Bupa: Rebecca Pearson, chief sustainability and people officer for Bupa Global, India and UK; and Anna Russell, corporate responsibility and sustainability director for Bupa Global and UK.

The discussion addresses:

·         What successful health and sustainability strategy looks like,

·         The interconnectedness of personal health and the health of the planet,

·         How Bupa's Healthy Cities challenge – which encourages employees to improve their health and community impact – can help employers achieve wellbeing and ESG alignment, and more.

 Many thanks to Bupa, for sponsoring this episode.
