Wagestream just got even better. We've acquired the pensions company Zippen This exciting move will continue to support our mission of improving the financial wellbeing of every worker. Whether it’s today’s pay or long-term planning, we help our members to take control of their finances. It's estimated that £31.1 billion in pension assets remains unclaimed, and our research shows that low and middle-income workers are disproportionately impacted, holding twice as many unclaimed pension pots as the average UK worker. Through our employer relationships and payroll integrations, Wagestream is uniquely positioned to address this challenge. Wagestream welcomes Zippen! Full details of the acquisition can be found here. https://hubs.la/Q03xrvs_0

September is nearly here, which can only mean one thing… it’s induction season! 🎉 Once again our trainers are busier than ever, a sign of the continued market growth in graduate and apprenticeship schemes. It’s fantastic to see firms investing so heavily in structured learning and in the development of future talent. But not every young professional starts in a big cohort. For many, their induction can feel lighter, less structured, or even a bit lonely. How you start your career matters, those early weeks set the tone for confidence, capability, and long-term success. That’s why over September and October we are delivering our most popular induction topics as public courses for individual sign-up, giving all new joiners the chance to benefit from structured learning over their induction. What’s coming up: ✅ Networking Skills: develop confidence and connections with peers across the industry. ✅ On the Right Foot: setting yourself up for success in the workplace from day one. ✅ Introduction to Insurance: a fun, interactive one-day course on the fundamentals. ✅ Fast Start: our flagship 12-month technical training programme covering everything from underwriting, wordings, claims, and even a broker escape room.  https://lnkd.in/egGtSkDC If you have new joiners get in touch or sign them up to the support they need to get their careers off to a great start.
