Meet the team
Phil Hayne
Hi, I'm Phil and I co-founded REBA with Debi in 2015 with the aim of helping members share knowledge, we set about bringing the community together to pursue best practice and find solutions to common challenges. Now we provide a wide range of information services to help members in their work and to develop their careers. Ultimately delivering better benefits, which in turn positively effects millions of employees and helps create great places to work. This is a friendly, helpful community and I enjoy working with our employer members to develop useful services and the vendors who contribute expertise and support our promotional services.
Debi O'Donovan
I’m Debi and I co-founded REBA in 2015, where I am a director. I enjoy sharing insights, data and information about employee benefits and pay via articles, research, guides and videos because I believe it helps so many employees receive better reward packages than they would if REBA didn’t distribute this knowledge. REBA has a great community and it makes my work fun to talk to the wide variety of people working in reward and benefits through our events, both large and small.
