Last year, our Gallagher Better WorksSM Insights magazine broke down trends and hot topics in benefits, compensation, retirement, employee communication and work culture. The magazine featured thought leaders from across Gallagher with insights and guidance on supporting the full spectrum of an organization's wellbeing.
Here are five of the most popular articles from last year's magazines to help you take better care of your people, manage risk and nurture a thriving organization in 2023.
1. Help mitigate inflation-related risks with a sustainable total rewards program

3. Continue to reexamine your people strategies, even when under-resourced
Last year, HR teams were faced with competing priorities in an environment where employees' needs and expectations had radically changed. Hybrid work, a volatile labor market, and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) concerns spurred them to retool their people strategy.
