    Back to Basics: Embedding Vulnerability Across the Customer Journey

    In this episode, Helen is joined by Bridie O’Shea, Customer Insight and Excellence Specialist at Mansfield Building Society. Bridie shares how her role focuses on improving customer journeys and ensuring vulnerable customers receive the support they need. Together, they explore the importance of going back to basics — embedding vulnerability awareness into everyday practice, building networks of champions across teams, and recognising the often-overlooked needs of carers.   Helen and Bridie also discuss the vital role local branches play in their communities, how meaningful human connections help identify when customers may need extra support, and why this matters even more as financial services become increasingly digital.   From supporting colleagues through difficult conversations to simple acts of kindness that make a real difference, this episode highlights why vulnerability work is a continuous journey of learning, listening and improving.  Why not join our free monthly Q&As and keep the conversation going - https://www.helenpettifer.com/category/events/live-q-and-a/ Follow me for more episodes, resources and vulnerability insights -  Email: helen@helenpettifer.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/helen-pettifer-unlocking-vulnerability/  Website: https://www.helenpettifer.com/

    When Customers Don’t Just Need Power — They Need People

    In this episode, Helen is joined by Natasha Crooks, Vulnerable Customer Manager at Northern Ireland Electricity Networks. Together we explore how the definition of vulnerability has evolved beyond traditional medical needs to include financial hardship, neurodivergence, language barriers and rural isolation. Natasha shares how NIE Networks has embedded inclusive service into everyday practice — from expanding their customer care register and launching a dedicated vulnerable customer team, to partnering with organisations like Jam Card, Disability Action and Advice NI. The conversation also reflects on supporting customers during major storm events, handling suicidal conversations with confidence, and the importance of looking after colleagues who manage emotionally demanding calls. This episode highlights a simple but powerful truth: sometimes customers don’t just need their power restored — they need someone who will listen.
