Keeping you in charge of cash flow

    Workers’ Compensation is often the largest insurance spend for employers, with significant impacts on cash flow, as many policies have upfront payment expectations, or discounts available for early payment. Premium Funding can be utilised to conserve and manage cash flow, and the interest cost is usually tax deductible. Premium Funding agreements are generally not secured by business assets, which frees up working capital to allow you to get on with running your business, without tying up your existing facilities. Lockton can assist with organising competitive quotes for risk financing, as well as negotiations with insurers and regulators to put in place plans to reduce the burden on your business.

    Neurodiversity in the workplace: a competitive edge in talent acquisition and retention

    In today’s corporate landscape, diversity and inclusion are increasingly prioritised, yet one crucial aspect often remains overlooked — neurodiversity. Neurodivergent individuals, such as those with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, represent around 15-20% of the global population. For businesses, the question is not only about hiring neurodivergent individuals but about creating an environment where they feel confident enough to be themselves and reach their full potential.
