UNIQA 4WARD’s Post

I’ve had lots of interest in this original post, and heaps of great questions about the motivation for (and benefits of) the changes we made. One of the highlights of the work we did on transparent remuneration and rewards calculations was when we simulated how the model corrects for gender (and other unjustified) pay gaps. We deliberately recruit for diversity, and a key motivation behind the many process changes was ensuring that those less confident or capable of having tricky conversations about pay weren’t disadvantaged. Transparency has proven to be an essential part of the solution. #WayfinderAwards #SouthernCross #Leadership #BusinessAwards #WorkplaceWellbeing

We asked Jose Bachoir, our bilingual Business Development expert on what working for BHN means to him and why our Hawk Appreciation Days (extra days off during the year to do something you fancy) are important. Here's what he said - thank you, Jose. "Working for BHN always feels extremely rewarding, their employee-centric approach offers a positive and healthy work environment both at home and the office. "The flexible working style promotes a healthy lifestyle, for me that includes regular dog walks and being able to exercise before and after work. It's empowering to know that the company values our well-being beyond the office walls. The icing on the cake is the Hawk Appreciation Days, which provide a much-needed break to disconnect and recharge. "Hawk Appreciation Days not only show BHN's appreciation for our hard work but also demonstrate their genuine concern for our overall well-being. Working for BHN feels like being part of a supportive team that truly cares about its employee's happiness and work-life balance." #employeeengagement #staffsatisfaction #employeereward #employeeincentive #salesincentive #sales

Things your employees couldn't care less about. No one picks a pizza party over an extra day off. Swag and holiday parties? Nice, but not what truly keeps employees happy. In 2024, what really matters: 1. Flexible, guilt-free schedules: ability to maintain a balanced life. 2. Empathetic, supportive management. 3. A voice that’s heard and valued. 4. Opportunities for growth to foster career growth. 5. Beyond insurance, think gym memberships, mental health resources BONUS: Most obvious one, being paid fairly! Rethink your perks. Give employees what they truly value.

Selecting an employer is just as important as being the employee in the selection process. Often people are taken advantage of during negotiations for being unemployed or under employed. Employers will ask why do you want to work for them, and this is one of my favorite questions to answer. Employees will fade away from mentioning schedule flexibility in order to manage their busy family life. Accepting employment is always a two way street that needs to be a fit for both parties. Limit turnover by working with your candidates, a happy associate performs at a significantly higher standard.

Absolutely! A mentor once shared a valuable insight: interviews aren't just about landing the job—they're an opportunity to evaluate a company's culture and determine the right fit. I am interviewing them just as much as they are interviewing me. #jobhunting #interviewtips #positiveworkplace

Again, research prospective employers, read reviews, and listen with your gut during interactions. A job is more than the transactional work/pay relationship. #workculture #jobseekers #jobinterview #motivationalmonday
