Partners& has appointed Steve Herbert as its wellbeing and benefits director.
Herbert is an expert on pensions, health benefits, and employee benefits and is a regular commentator on these topics. He joins from Howden Employee Benefits & Wellbeing where he was head of benefits strategy.
Partners& CEO Phil Barton says: “The provision of innovative and practical wellbeing, health and protection advice is a core element of our client proposition. Never before have people issues been so consistently at the forefront of our client’s agenda. With the challenges caused by the tight employment market, flexible / home working and now the cost of living crisis – our corporate and midmarket clients are in need of sound advice. Steve is a well-respected and experienced authority in this marketplace and will be instrumental in building our proposition. Steve’s appointment takes our successful team on the next stage of its journey.”
Herbert says: “I’m genuinely excited to be joining such a progressive business as Partners&. The culture of this organisation centres on the needs and objectives of the client – a vital first step to ensuring the success of any employee benefits or wellbeing offering.
“My primary role as Wellbeing and Benefits Director will be to accelerate our thought leadership programme by communicating the value and usage of employee benefits provision and wellbeing services to both our existing and potential corporate clients and their employees. I will also be actively involved in proposition development, whilst continuing my media and industry work in the human resources and employee benefits space.
“I am delighted to be working alongside the Partners& team of topic experts and former colleagues Leighton Churchill, Dan Cockram, Steve Hope and Jeremy Reid as well as our ecosystem partners Craig Pritchard and Peter Matthews of Integrity365.”
