Around IES - June 2016
29 Jun 2016
IES is currently working with a number of organisations to review their reward strategies, including some projects specifically exploring equal pay issues, an area of considerable interest and expertise within IES. This follows on from work we completed previously for the Equality and Human Rights Commission detailing the causes of gender, ethnicity and disability pay gaps.
We are working with a large employer to explore the application of mindfulness interventions in the workplace. Following a detailed review of the evidence for mindfulness interventions we will now pilot a workplace intervention and evaluate its impact.
IES has begun a study into employee financial wellbeing for the CIPD. Through a literature review and workshops, IES will support the CIPD in understanding the future pressure and challenges affecting employee financial wellbeing and both the case for employer support and the means by which it can be delivered.
We have continued to develop our relationship with MIND and have won two projects related to an evaluation of their Workplace Wellbeing Index for employers. MIND has engaged a number of organisations from a range of sectors to participate in the pilot of an employer tool which will examine a range of employer policies and practices in the form of documentation and other evidence. IES will work with them, following the integration of feedback and learning from the pilot, in order to review the surveys and support the further refinement of the tools.
