Intro
Who I am
What I’ve done
How long in internal comms
Our budget for pensions and benefits is roughly the same size as Norway’s GDP
Huge numbers
Very different roles and responsibilities – from contact centre call handlers to senior strategists, analysts to occupational psychologists, JCP advisers to lawyers
Geographically dispersed across the length and breadth of England, Wales and Scotland
The scale of our welfare reform programme is enormous. And over time will have an impact on every one of our colleagues.
You will have heard of changes such as Universal Credit , the benefit cap and spare bedroom subsidy.
But there’s also significant changes to the state pension system coming into play from 2016. We’ve auto enrolled 3 million people in workplace pensions. The Child Maintenance system has gone through a fundamental change. We’ve scrapped Disability Living Allowance and introduced a new Personal Independence Payment for some of the most vulnerable members of society. And on top of that, we’re transforming the way we run our existing business processes to drive up customer service and drive down costs (we’ve already taken out £1billion of running costs over the past 3 years).
