What will I learn?

- How are new benefits technologies going to capture the imagination of your talent pool?

- How can you use data to design better digital benefit strategies that really engage?

- How can you harness data to give you greater insight into employee motivations and deliver management information to measure ROI?

We will help attendees focus on emerging technology and the use of data analytics in reward and employee benefits.

This will enable delegates to link innovative digital advances with demographic trends, the increasing competition for talent, and the reality of a more transient workforce.
