  • UK Financial Services employees are the most satisfied with their hybrid working arrangements with 65% of employees expressing their delight 
  • 41% of UK employees would be interested in a 4-day work week, if it was hybrid
  • While in the office, employees spend 63% of their time at their desks

 LONDON, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Financial Services sector in the UK is the most satisfied with their hybrid working arrangements, as cited by 65% of employees. The findings are highlighted in its latest global study From Restrictions to Resilience of over 10,000 employees and employers by global workplace strategy, design and construction experts Unispace

“It’s interesting how employees and employers are finding a mutually beneficial middle ground on hybrid working. Commented Rob Frank, EMEA CEO for Unispace.   “The search for top talent continues in the booming UK Financial Services sector, which is driving employers to think widely about working policies and the total benefits package they offer. Employees are not solely motivated by a salary —flexibility and the overall physical working environment play a huge part in attracting, engaging, and retaining happy hybrid employees,”  

The 2024 Unispace study highlights how quickly working patterns are evolving. In 2023, their research found 58% of UK employees were reluctant to return to the office. Just one year later, with more hybrid working policies in place and offices being restructured to suit their changing needs and functions, workers are more content to return to offices three days a week. Plus, 41% of UK employees would be interested in a 4-day week if it was hybrid.

When in the office, employees are spending most of their time at their desks (63%) as they want to ‘feel more productive’, however they find it hard to concentrate due to constant interruptions. A factor that continues to be an issue, on par with 2023 findings, where 63% of employees said they struggled to complete their main work in the office because of distractions.

Unispace EMEA CEO, Rob Frank observed; “where we work and how we work is changing rapidly. This study highlights employees are finding it hard to be productive in the office due to how the workplace environment is structured. The better the experience employees can have in an office, the better the work is produced and the more comfortable they will feel with being in the workplace. It’s vital that businesses realise the potential to positively impact their people—and bottom-line—by making alterations to the workplace and taking onboard these insights.”

Published

on

  • Tool enables risk managers, brokers and CISOs to better evaluate cyber risk and maximize insurance value
  • Cyber Risk Analyzer is the latest release under Aon Actionable Analytics, which already includes Property Risk, Casualty Risk, D&O Risk and Health Risk analyzers

CHICAGO, Nov. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Aon plc (NYSE: AON), a leading global professional services firm, today launched its Cyber Risk Analyzer, a digital application that allows risk managers to make data-driven, technology-enabled decisions to mitigate cyber risk. The tool is the latest in a series of new offerings, which brings together Aon’s data, tools and analytics professionals to support clients through an evolving risk landscape across sectors.

“As cyber threats continue to grow in frequency, sophistication and severity, organizations face an array of complex risks—from ransomware and business interruption to insider threats and data breaches,” said Christian Hoffman, global specialty and financial products leader for Aon. “Compounding these risks are increased litigation pressures, shifting regulatory landscapes, and heightened scrutiny from shareholders. We designed Aon’s Cyber Risk Analyzer to address these challenges and help clients evaluate and quantify their enterprise cyber risk, enabling them to make better decisions.”

Aon’s Cyber Risk Analyzer allows Aon’s clients and brokers unique access to:

  • Loss Forecasting: Model detailed loss scenarios faster, including privacy or data breach and system failure. The analyzer incorporates Aon’s customized proprietary simulation modeling approach based on internal claims insights, independent research by Aon’s Cyber Risk Consulting team and findings from bespoke cyber modeling engagements.
  • Exposure Assessment: Integrate with other proprietary Aon tools, including Aon’s Cyber Quotient Evaluation platform (CyQu), to obtain a holistic assessment of a client’s exposures and security controls.
  • Total Cost of Risk (TCOR) Analysis: Overlay loss forecasts with customized insurance options to produce TCOR and Catastrophic TCOR analyses.

These capabilities enable brokers to provide risk managers, chief information security officers and corporate leaders a view of the changing cyber risk environment so they can make informed decisions around risk transfer versus risk retention on their balance sheets. Client risk managers will be empowered to deliver insights on optimal insurance capital allocation decisions to their boards of directors and corporate officers.

Empowering Clients with Actionable Insights
The launch of Aon’s Cyber Risk Analyzer follows the 2024 debuts of the firm’s Property Risk Analyzer, Casualty Risk Analyzer, D&O Risk Analyzer and Health Risk Analyzer, that provide exposure visualizations and model potential losses to help Aon’s clients make better informed decisions about their risk and insurance options. The analytics tools are designed by Aon’s Risk Capital and Human Capital capabilities in collaboration with Aon Business Services to provide Aon clients with actionable insights that allow for greater control over their insurance program structure. 

“Aon’s Cyber Risk Analyzer builds on Aon’s commitment to equipping clients with insights that enable data-driven decisions,” said Joe Peiser, global CEO of Commercial Risk Solutions for Aon. “As the risk landscape becomes increasingly complex, our team delivers actionable analytics that help our clients confidently evaluate risks and insurance options.”
