A focus on health and wellbeing, and a job with purpose, is what is going to make employers stand out for the workforce of the future, say experts at MetLife’s corporate partner event.
The panel discussion revolved around how employers can support the modern workforce, and develop new ways of working to prepare their people for the future.
Metlife Insurance’s Employee Benefits Trends report
“The pandemic has refocused the minds of employees. It’s not about pay any more,” said Mary Gabriel, Senior Client Relationship Manager, Corporate Distribution at MetLife.
“Our recent Employee Benefits Trends report show that overwhelmingly employees want their employer to support their wellbeing and offer flexibility to cope with life’s challenges.”
“There’s a great opportunity now for employers to step up and tap into these trends and offer new, innovative benefits and solutions to support their employees’ health and wellbeing.”

PwC Head of People & Culture Catherine Walsh said, “The pandemic has highlighted that companies putting employee health and wellbeing at the centre of what they do are the ones that are coming out of this with a more resilient and productive workforce.
“A heightened focus on employee mental health and wellbeing will be critical not only for making hybrid working work, but for boosting engagement, connection and productivity.”
“To attract and retain the best people, employers need to create opportunities and experiences for workers. Work that is meaningful and gives employees a chance to make a difference.”
