Nick shares his approach to creating an inclusive, multi-generational workforce. Discussing a recruitment example, Nick describes how Canada Life successfully reimagined traditional work practices to welcome retirees back into flexible roles.

Nick also discusses Canada Life’s approach to creating a collaborative environment at work and advocates for ensuring the office is a space people want to be in.

Reflecting on his own career path, that began in music, Nick’s wish for HR practitioners is to remember where they came from and to offer growth opportunities to those who don’t fit conventional norms. He credits his success to leaders who recognised his potential beyond the expected mould and shares his passion for paying it forward.
