Employee Communications & Awareness

    Effective communication is a key pillar in Lockton’s clients’ strategy. This ensures the successful implementation of selected plans which establish a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and services among all employees while facilitating the flow of information among all of the key stakeholders (Senior Management, HR team, Finance team, and Employees).

    The key to a successful communication strategy is to ensure that is aligned with your organization’s overall corporate strategy. This will both enrich the value proposition and quality of the benefits program to all employees.

    All of our clients receive multiple on-premise induction and training sessions for employees. During the presentations, we will cover rights and responsibilities of employees, explain the benefits and exclusions, share important contact details, available technologies, wellness and extended benefits such as EAP and telehealth consultations and finally on how to make a claim.

    The presentations will also highlight the importance of prudent usage of the benefits programme and how to manage effective communication with the medical providers.

    We allow plenty of opportunity for employee Q&A which allows employees time to better understand and address any of their concerns.

    By creating awareness, educating employees, and targeting on healthy lifestyle choices, we will develop a positive change in behavior which ultimately supports the objective of a healthier workforce.

    From our experience we have identified the following essential pillars to a successful communication strategy:

    • Employee engagement

    • Regular and effective communication

    • Avoiding information overload

    • Clear and concise information

    April to May 2025 saw a record 236% spike in distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), according to a multisectoral analysis of government and private sector infrastructures.   Beyond productivity and financial impact, DDoS attacks can cause the collapse of health and safety mechanisms that result in physical harm to people.

The MENA Cyber Summit 2025 Annual Report highlights various sectors with vulnerabilities - the energy and manufacturing sectors are a case in point.  In 2017, Triton malware targeted safety instrumented systems (SIS) in a Saudi petrochemical facility, disabling controls and risking explosions or loss of life if not contained.  While the attack triggered an emergency shutdown without immediate casualties, it underscores the potential for catastrophic failures in MENA's industrial infrastructure, such as overridden emergency systems that can rapidly lead to fires or the release of toxic chemicals.

Other regions have been less lucky. A 2023 study by the University of Minnesota demonstrated that hospitals in the United States hit by ransomware saw a 20-35% rise in in-hospital deaths due to delayed care and operational disruptions.   Now, with sustained, worldwide, geopolitical tensions and the potential for cyberwarfare, the MENA region has become increasingly exposed to bodily injury as a result of cyber-physical attacks.

    Market Squeeze: How Rising Demand is Driving Higher Political Violence Costs and Tighter Capacity

    In today’s evolving political violence (PV) insurance market, a mix of global and regional pressures are tightening reinsurance capacity and pushing up premiums. Whilst new entrants are adding fresh capacity this must be weighed against the need for sustainable prices in the face of growing risks. Global events such as regional conflicts, along with political unrest and targeted infrastructure hits, are generating losses for reinsurers in active zones – and this has a knock-on effect on terms and access for GCC-based clients.
