Phoenix Group

We're excited to kick off our Meet the Network series with a spotlight on Mosaic, the Phoenix colleague network for ethnically diverse colleagues and their allies. Mosaic is dedicated to celebrating the diverse cultures within our workforce by driving awareness, providing support, and creating opportunities for all colleagues to connect and thrive. We believe it’s important that everyone feels like they belong in their workplace, so they can continue to earn and save for their future. Hear from our co-chairs Dilesh Sangaran and Funlola Allo as they share their insights on the importance of diversity in the workplace.

Did you know that encouraging mid- to late-career workers with relevant skills and expertise to take up ‘green’ jobs will be pivotal for the UK’s Clean Power 2030 mission? Read our latest report, ‘Resourcing the Net Zero Transition: What Do Workers in their Mid- and Late-careers Think of Green Jobs?’, below as we explore perceptions of green jobs, and the need to retrain workers to meet the UK’s net zero target. 3 key findings are: > Workers over 50 in sectors with transferrable skill sets play a vital part in the nation’s net zero transition. > Phoenix Insights’ research has found that many such workers are hesitant to take on these new roles (citing concerns such as job insecurity, salary expectations, unclear job descriptions and uncertainty about their qualifications). > Encouraging workers with relevant skills and expertise to take up ‘green’ jobs in the short term is pivotal. #NetZero #Careers #Insight #Report

Our business is built around colleagues who want to make a difference. This #MenopauseAwarenessMonth we’re celebrating Mandy Reid who leads our wellbeing community. She has been instrumental in developing how we support our colleagues, in particular around menopause and mental health.

The latter celebrating organisations that have created the best approaches to enabling peer to peer support. Well done Mandy and thanks for all your efforts in helping our colleagues stay in work so they can continue to save for their future.

On Monday, Sir Nicholas Lyons , Phoenix Group Chairman, attended the International Investment Summit at London's Guildhall. Across the event there were sessions on this Government’s vision for economic stability in the UK and their mission to grow the economy. The Investment Summit was an important opportunity to bring together Global investors, business leaders & CEOs, and for the Government to be bold in outlining what it wants to achieve, and how it will deliver it, with focus around eight sectors: advanced manufacturing; clean energy industries, creative industries; defence; digital and technologies; financial services; life sciences; and professional & business services. At the event, Nick participated in the Pensions workshop, a small working session on the UK’s pension reform strategy with Pensions Minister Emma Reynolds MP. #Investment #Pensions #FinancialServices

The action we take on climate change can have a real impact. We’re taking steps to decarbonise our portfolio and move towards a net zero economy by 2050. > https://lnkd.in/eiSuFshX #Pensions #NetZero #ClimateChange #Investment

How can UK pensions lead the climate fight? £1.2 trillion – that’s what the UK pensions industry could invest in climate solutions by 2035. But barriers are holding us back. We're already pushing for change and working with the government and regulators to unlock this potential. Let’s work together to take action on climate change. > https://lnkd.in/e8htSc6k #Pensions #Retirement #Investment
