In this episode we focus on the role that employers can play in supporting their staff with long term planning including last wishes and Wills. But we also explore wider areas around attitudes towards death, dying and future planning, with charitable giving as an important part of that.

We were lucky to speak to a panel of guests from different organisations who all work together to help employees with their future planning:

Ian Dibb – CEO, Once I’ve Gone

Mark Edmondson - Head of Commercial Partnerships, Once I’ve Gone

Lisa Lund – Director, Adroit Legal Services

Stacey MacDougall - Wellbeing Manager, John Lewis Partnership

The questions we explored were:

1. Do you think the public’s attitude towards thinking about and planning for death has changed?
2. What challenges do you think the public are currently facing when it comes to estate planning and what can we do to help? 
3. What role do you think employers can play in helping their staff with future/estate planning? 
4. How do you think the charity sector and employers could better work together to achieve shared goals? 
5. Do you think there might be an appetite amongst other employers to encourage more of their staff to write their wills and get their estates in order?
