Break the inheritance taboo
New research from Canada Life finds that the majority of UK adults (56%) who received an inheritance sum over the past five years did not discuss its value with the benefactor beforehand.
Join us as we explore how the longevity megatrend is transforming our workplaces – bringing both challenges and opportunities.
The second report in our Life100+ programme explores the impact of longevity on the structure of life and work. The implications are clear: the workplace must adapt, but this isn’t something that businesses can solve alone.
At Canada Life, we see first-hand how work shapes people’s lives – financially, socially, and emotionally. To understand how the traditional model of learn, work, retire is transforming into something more agile, we spoke to more than 3,200 people across the UK and 600 employers of all sizes.
What we’ve found is that a fundamental shift is needed to meet our evolving needs. Creating a productive multigenerational workforce starts with mutual understanding. Working arrangements must adapt to the complexity of modern lives, with support systems that work for everyone.
Our findings challenge assumptions and offer a fresh perspective, helping us to come together to reimagine what the future of work could look like in a world where we all live, and work, for longer.
We are pleased to announce our Age-Aware Accredited Employer status from 55/Redefined. Canada Life aspires to become a truly age inclusive employer, and we’re developing our own plans to attract and retain older workers as part of our journey to be a longevity-ready employer fit for the future.
