While income protection is one of the most valuable benefits employers can offer, claims are relatively rare, meaning there is often a lack of clarity around how and when it should be used. With increasing complex long-term absence cases, a stronger understanding of how claims are processed has never been more important.

We are hosting a free 30-minute webinar designed to give HR professionals and reward/benefits teams a clear, practical overview of how long-term absence can transition into an income protection claim. The session will explore the employer’s role at each stage, as well as the key risks and decision points to be aware of throughout the journey.

Rather than viewing income protection as a last-resort insurance product, this session will highlight how it can be used as a proactive support tool – even before a formal claim is initiated – providing structure, guidance and independent medical insight during complex absence situations.

During the session, we will cover:

• How long-term absence connects to income protection claims in practice
• Why early notification matters and the risks of delaying action
• The employer’s role in submitting and supporting a claim
• How and when claims may come to an end
• Common pitfalls, including capability dismissals and resignation risks
• Practical approaches to managing claims sensitively while reducing organisational risk

This provides a high-level end-to-end view of the claims process, helping HR teams understand when to act, what to avoid and how to protect both the employee and the organisation.

The session will be led by John Dean, Head of Health and Protection at Secondsight. 
John is one of the industry’s most recognised voices in corporate healthcare, with over 20 years’ experience advising employers and supporting benefits strategy.

UK employers have invested heavily in financial wellbeing initiatives, yet engagement remains low and behaviour change is limited.

This practical 40-minute webinar explores why the focus is shifting from financial wellbeing to financial resilience, and why many well-intentioned interventions have failed to create lasting impact.

We’ll look at how employees really make financial decisions, why information alone rarely changes behaviour, and what financial resilience looks like in practice.

Most importantly, we’ll focus on what employers can do now, using existing pay, pensions and benefits more effectively to reduce financial stress and improve outcomes.

We cover:

• 4 practical no cost steps to get more value from existing employee benefits

• Why many financial wellbeing initiatives have struggled to deliver results

• Why a narrower focus on financial resilience has more impact

• The direct link between employee financial resilience and business risk

60% of employers aren’t – here’s how to make sure you’re not one of them.

Auto-enrolment duties are often seen as ‘set and forget’. In reality, ongoing changes to payroll, workforce and legislation mean many schemes drift out of compliance over time.

In this session, we will share findings from over 100 employer reviews and highlight where issues most commonly arise, including risks that are often overlooked.

We will cover:

• Why auto-enrolment mistakes are increasing
• What we found from 100+ employer reviews
• The most common compliance failures
• Where salary sacrifice can introduce risk
• How to check if your scheme is compliant

This session will include a live presentation followed by time for questions.
