Financial wellbeing is often seen as a personal issue, but money worries can have a direct impact on performance, absence, engagement and retention. With only 15% of UK organisations having a formal financial wellbeing policy or strategy, according to the CIPD Reward Survey 2026 supported by Everywhen - what role should people professionals play in supporting employees?

The Milburn Review's interim report on Young People and Work highlights the vital role employers play in widening access to opportunities for young people. Lizzie Crowley - CIPD Senior Skills Policy Advisor says: "Young people are desperate for an opportunity to prove themselves, but many are struggling to navigate a labour market where entry-level opportunities, work experience and structured progression routes have become harder to access." "Today’s Milburn Review findings and ONS figures highlight that much bolder action is needed to support youth employment given the collapse in the number of apprenticeships for 16-24 year olds and the general reduction in entry level roles." "With more than one million young people not in education, employment or training there’s a strong case to introduce an Apprenticeship Guarantee for all 16-24 year olds. The Government must also recognise the link between new measures in the Employment Rights Act 2025 and employers’ ability to invest in skill development and jobs for young people."

Our latest article, supported by Shoosmiths explores how HR can make productivity gains whilst protecting the conditions for good work ⭐ It highlights that AI can improve efficiency, but value depends on clear design for how it is used in practice. To achieve this, organisations need shared standards, clarity on where AI provides support, and human oversight in higher‑risk decisions to ensure fairness, capability and trust.

Spotted in today’s papers - apparently "7 in 10 workers are tempted to pull a sickie to sunbathe" - attributed to the CIPD. There’s just one problem... we didn't say it. After a bit of digging, the quote appears to trace back to much older, 2008, survey data from a different company, not CIPD research. What we do say about working in hot weather is this: ✔️ Productive workplaces don’t need 'presenteeism' culture to succeed. ✔️ Flexible working, where possible, helps people manage extreme weather sensibly. ✔️ Good absence management is built on trust, clarity and support for wellbeing. Our actual guidance for employers and people managers is here: https://ow.ly/lcBk50Z48t3 Stay safe in the sun everyone. 🌞 #HotWeather #wellbeing
