Transforming reward and benefits for tomorrow's workforce
Ongoing inflationary pressures combined with fast-paced business change and rapidly shifting societal values mean reward and employee benefits must adapt to attract the modern workforce.
The REBA Future Forum on Thursday 23 November explores the most important emerging issues driving the reward and employee benefits agenda. Discussions across the day include:
- How reward and benefits can help create a fairer and more inclusive benefits design
- How to better align benefit packages with a broader environmental and social strategy
- How to provide effective and personalised support for each life stage
- How the mounting public heath crisis is intensifying the demand for employer-funded health benefits
- How to address the ongoing cost of living crisis through effective financial wellbeing strategies
The day will consist of keynotes, focused talks, workshops, discussion groups, facilitated knowledge exchange & a comprehensive exhibition. Grasp this opportunity to review, reflect and react to the trends that are shaping the workplace right now.
Looking ahead, there are future issues coming down the line that will shake up the workplace and reward and benefits even more:
- No one knows quite what impact artificial intelligence will have, but there is no doubt it presents both huge opportunities and potential pitfalls.
- The number of employees aged over 65 continues to grow, meaning employers need to rethink both their benefit and retirement strategies.
- While medical advances make previously fatal illnesses treatable, the cost of healthcare is rising sharply. How can employers keep their workforce healthy without seeing their core benefit costs spiral out of control?
Being primed with the right information and the inspiration to explore different avenues, will help you mitigate the risks these present.
