Partners& has appointed Steve Herbert as wellbeing and benefits director.
Herbert, who was most recently head of benefits strategy at Howden, previously held the same role at Jelf Group and Origen.
Partners& said the appointment was in line with its strategy to enhance its employee benefit proposition and build a reputation as a thought leader to support clients with the issues they are facing today in the context of the post-pandemic workplace and the cost of living crisis.
Partners& CEO Phil Barton said: “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 clients’ agenda.
“With the challenges caused by the tight employment market, flexible and 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 (pictured) added that he was excited to be joining Partners&.
“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,” he said.
“I will also be actively involved in proposition development, while 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.”
