Moving from a cost centre to being a strategic business lever

Global and multinational benefits directors rarely get the full view of all employee benefits, their costings and impacts across countries. Developments in digital tools, data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) are reducing this challenge. This means that we are beginning to put employee benefits teams back into the driving seat to effectively deliver HR objectives and align to business goals.
In this webinar we will explore ways in which managing benefits across countries is changing (and will continue to change). What role are evolving global digital platforms and data output playing, and just how important will AI be for future shifts? Can those not able to invest emerging tools for the foreseeable future still benefit from these shifts?
The panel will discuss how they are starting to unlock budgets, view benefits pricing through new lenses, shift relationships with providers all while becoming more strategic within their reward and benefits roles.
Key issues to be explored
• The opportunities of transparency across multi-country benefits
• Impact of data, digital tools and AI on benefits management – from pricing to provider relationships
• Ways in which budget can be unlocked to achieve greater impacts and deliver strategy
• What such change can mean for global, multinational and local benefits directors and their teams
