What happens when representation meets real action? This weekend, we saw it in motion at the UK Black Business Show. Our incredible volunteers represented Standard Life UK, engaging with attendees to share career opportunities, personal experiences, and insights on diversity in financial services. 📌 Colleen Williams, Nichola Taylor, and Catherine Foot led a powerful panel on pensions and financial wellbeing, sparking a wave of interest and deeper conversations at our stand. 📌 Our event hub became a space for meaningful career guidance, with Shanice Morgan and Raj Johal offering 1:1 advice and support to aspiring professionals. 📌 During the ‘Black in Finance’ panel, Joan Boyle shared her inspiring journey as a Black senior leader, offering practical advice for those looking to grow and thrive in their careers. Events like this remind us why inclusion and representation matter - not just in words, but in action. #UKBlackBusinessShow #InclusionInAction #CareersWithPurpose
At Phoenix Group, flexibility isn’t just a policy - it’s part of the culture. Earlier this year, Cara Sadler and Paige Adams returned from maternity leave and proposed a job share as Internal Communications and Engagement Managers. It was a new approach for the team, but one that Phoenix embraced with a trial period to make sure it worked for everyone. Fast forward nine months, and their job share has officially been made permanent! Their partnership is built on trust, collaboration, and shared purpose - and it’s a brilliant example of how flexible working can empower colleagues to thrive both personally and professionally. As Cara puts it, Paige is “a total superstar,” and Paige calls Cara “a dream teammate.” Whether it’s job sharing, part-time roles, compressed hours or remote working, Phoenix supports ways of working that help people balance what matters most. If you’re looking for a workplace that genuinely supports work-life balance and new ways of working, Phoenix Group is a great place to be.
