🥇 Ill health 🥈 Economic concerns 🥉 Artificial Intelligence That’s how workers aged 45+ ranked the biggest threats to their jobs in AXA Health’s latest study. And when you include all age groups, the order shifts, but only slightly: Economic concerns (37%) rise to the top, over-taking ill health (33%). Either way, the message is clear: 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐞𝐞𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐲, 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝, 𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞. And the data on daily habits paints an even bigger problem. 🏃🏻♂️ Only 9% exercise during lunch ❌ 18% of workers aged 55+ don’t take a lunch break at all 📱 45% spend their lunch scrolling For HR, this is a warning sign. Employees perceived wellbeing ≠ actual wellbeing. In other words, people think they’re coping, but their habits say otherwise. So what can HR teams realistically do about it? Here are some practical actions both individuals and employers can take to protect employee health. 👤 For Individuals: - Build non-negotiable movement into your day (not just “when you can”). - Normalise asking for help, especially around stress or mental health. - Revisit your benefits to see where they can help you. - Make sure you're getting plenty of sleep, hydration, and eating balanced meals. 🏢 For Employers: - Ensure employees have flexibility over their working conditions. - Make wellbeing programmes easy to access. - Make sure employees are taking their lunches to break away from their desks. - Re-communicate benefits quarterly because awareness drops off fast. - Equip managers with training and resources to spot declining well-being early. HR can often be roped in to put out fires that already exist, but this is an opportunity to prevent the fire from forming in the first place.

When Jensen Huang (Nvidia CEO) says something, you listen. Really interesting to hear how the cyber security industry helps each other out when it comes to cyber threats. The sharing of new threats or protection methods only acts as another reason why we think our VIP roundtable events are so important to our community. At our cyber security-specific events, we regularly speak about the latest threats to our organisations, the best defence methods, and more, helping attendees stay ahead of the curve and connect with other experts in the field for future benefit.

We can’t believe yesterday saw the end of our busy event schedule for 2025, but we can’t think of a better way to have waved goodbye to a year of truly transformative roundtables.   Our virtual VIP roundtable event yesterday afternoon brought together 14 Chief People Officers and executive HR leaders from enterprise organisations to discuss ‘The Future of the HR Operating Model’, which was hosted by an HR icon, Professor Dave Ulrich, bringing his own perspective on the topic.   There were so many theories, insights, and predictions that came out of the conversation, all of which we’ll unpack properly in due course, but some of the standout moments for us included:   🧠 AI is a means to an end, not the end goal - Many organisations are racing to adopt AI in hopes of boosting efficiency and accelerating growth. But when “implement AI” becomes the goal itself, the strategy loses focus.   🧠 Delivering more to our stakeholders – HR should never be solely centred on employees; it plays a vital role in driving business performance. HR teams need to understand how their expertise can contribute directly to stakeholder value, organisational impact and measurable revenue outcomes. HR's responsibility should shape the experience of anyone who interacts with the organisation - candidates, customers, directors and leaders.   We can’t thank our esteemed attendees enough for their time and thoughts during the call. These events are only possible with you attending and offering to share what you’re experiencing currently, what you predict for the future, and more, so thank you!   A huge thanks also goes to Professor Dave Ulrich for hosting the discussion. Since our inception in 2008, where we set out to be a trusted and responsible search firm that focuses on building a community we can give back to, collaborations with the best thought leaders in our specialities were a huge dream and knowing we’re now at a stage where those dreams are a reality is truly moving.   The event may be over, but the conversation isn’t!

Cybersecurity has been a hot topic this year. 2025 has seen many world-renowned organisations in the headlines for falling victim to cyber attacks, causing delays, affecting revenue, and in some cases, causing irreparable brand damage. But with the introduction of AI, can we get better at securing our organisations against cyber threats? That's exactly what we'll be looking at in our 'End-to-End Security of AI Integration' event in Germany next year, taking place on 27th January at the fantastic Rosewood Hotel (Munich). Ahead of the event, we want to hear your thoughts on where AI will have the greatest impact on enterprise security.

“Do you support Technology hires as well?” It’s a question we’ve been hearing more often from our HR network, and the answer has always been yes. Although many of our long-standing clients know us for our work across all our verticals (HR, Technology, and GTM), some of our newer clients may only know us for their department-specific needs. As our tech practice continues to grow, we want to ensure every client is aware of the depth of expertise we offer within the vertical, particularly within the UK and Germany. That’s why we asked Sham Ahmed, Director of UK Technology at Annapurna, to record a short video about our technology capabilities. Watch the video below to learn how we can support your business across multiple functions, not just one. #technologyrecruitment #cyberspecialists #talent
