This week's show is a special presentation from CPA Australia's leadership, strategy and business podcast, INTHEBLACK.

The cost-of-living crisis is hitting employees hard.

Pay rises, tax relief and bonuses can only do so much. But what if there was a way to support your staff and boost your business without harming the bottom line?

In this episode, we dive deep into how reimagining company rewards programs can tackle the cost-of-living squeeze.

By shifting the focus to practical, everyday benefits, you can attract top talent, boost employee satisfaction and at the same time strengthen your company culture.

Join us as we chat with a leading expert in the field, who shares her views and actionable strategies for transforming your rewards program into a powerful tool for employee cost-of-living relief.
