With dozens of relevant and timely in-depth sessions, the Health & Benefits Leadership Conference is where workplace benefits leaders go for expert insight and innovative solutions to help their organizations thrive by cultivating loyalty, reducing turnover and winning talent. We’re currently working on developing our next agenda and will post details once available, but for now you can see some of our featured sessions from 2023 below.
Jenn Lim has inspired a movement that has impacted hundreds of companies and thousands of leaders worldwide. A global workplace and well-being expert, best-selling author and co-founder of Delivering Happiness with late Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh, Jenn will provide a “how-to” framework to help your workplace adapt, improve profits with purpose and modernize your organizational design. Drawing on her deep understanding of the science of happiness, she’ll demonstrate how you can find greater purpose in your own life and, in return, empower the people around you to do the same.
The pandemic exposed a phenomenon that had been gradually building: We’re facing an employee well-being tsunami whose risks go beyond just burnout, threatening the strength, resilience and cohesiveness of our workforces. Fred Thiele will outline how HR leaders can architect and communicate a truly holistic approach to well-being that encompasses its principal dimensions — physical, financial and mental/social. He’ll also explore how this holistic approach is indispensable to supporting a diverse employee population as the workforce navigates the twists and turns of the modern, hybrid workplace. You’ll learn how you can help your employees not merely survive, but thrive, during this time.
Josh Bersin and Kathi Enderes will share highlights from proprietary groundbreaking 2023 research into total rewards to help you make better sense of your benefits offerings and their effectiveness, diving into topics ranging from innovative compensation to pay equity strategies, from benefit programs with highest business impact to those that have greatest appeal to employees, and more. They’ll also weave into the discussion how companies that design operations around their people can positively impact their benefits stack, citing case-study examples and the types of technologies that support success.
Despite employers’ increased investment in highly differentiated and valuable benefits programs, many employees struggle with awareness, enrollment, utilization and perceived value of their offerings. To address this challenge, Cisco developed the Integrated Benefits Experience, a high-tech, high-touch offering that engages all populations. Whether through mobile devices, web browsers, chat, virtual agents, telephony or Webex, more than 45,000 U.S. and Canadian employees, interns and retirees now receive hyper-personalized content, advocacy, navigation and engagement. Hear about Cisco’s multi-year journey from the whiteboard to the board room, lessons learned and what’s next for this first-of-its-kind integrated offering.
Legislative proposals and regulatory activity addressing health and retirement benefits and paid leave programs continue to be prominent in Congress’ agenda. But legislative gridlock has compelled Congressional leaders and the White House to find alternative paths to advance their policy goals. Challenges in the federal legislative process also translate into more employee benefits activity in the regulatory arena and at the state level. Join this popular annual session to learn what this means for employer-plan sponsors and how they approach benefits compliance in 2023-2024 and beyond. You’ll learn best practices, what to do before expanding or changing health or leave programs, and how to best make changes.
In the wake of constant uncertainty and numerous crises, employee burnout is at an all-time high. But what about HR leaders, like yourself, being additionally tasked with helping these employees mitigate their stress and improve their mental health? It’s no wonder burnout is a major problem afflicting HR professionals as well. Allessandria Polizzi will explain how to identify if you’re at risk for burnout and understand why it’s happening — and most importantly, what you and your team can do to overcome it.
