Super partner support during workplace change

Workplace change can take many forms—restructures, downsizing, strategic realignment—and it often stirs mixed emotions. For senior leaders, it brings logistical hurdles and emotional strain, such as concern for team morale or the pressure of delivering difficult news. For team members, it can create uncertainty around their future, finances, and wellbeing. During these times, having a trusted superannuation partner can help you support your people in meaningful ways.

Support for impacted employees

When roles are made redundant or retirement is accelerated, employees often face complex questions about their financial future. Outplacement programs that connect impacted staff with financial advice— to help them navigate decisions around redundancy, retirement, and superannuation access—are essential. By offering pathways to general and personal advice, online tools, webcasts, and other educational resources, employers can help team members gain clarity and reduce stress during uncertain times.

Take advantage of your super partner’s relationships

Programs such as MetLife’s 360Health offers an alternative and holistic support channel to your Employee Assistance Program (EAP) and outplacement services. In times of heightened stress or distrust, traditional EAP may not be enough. UniSuper’s partnership with MetLife provides access to the award-winning 360Health platform¹, which offers confidential, expert-led virtual care services at no additional cost to members and their families. The platform includes access to mental health support, fitness and recovery plans, menopause guidance, and medical consultations—all designed to support wellbeing and return-to-work readiness.
