REBA Future Forum 2024

As a Reward and Benefits leader, it's vital to understand the impact of megatrends such as climate change, tech disruption, and demographic shifts on business and workforce transformation. This knowledge will enable impactful board interactions and align your function with organisational success.

Having an opportunity to focus in on current challenges such as pay transparency, reskilling, people risk, and the impact of AI and ESG on benefits is paramount too.

That’s why you should join us at the REBA Future Forum in London on 21 November 2024, as we fuse inspirational thought leadership with practical solutions - all across one compelling in-person experience.

This BBC broadcaster, data detective and million-selling author on economics, psychology and the unexpected bits in between is described as a genius at telling stories that illuminate our world. In his compelling style, Tim will take us on a journey to explore the impact of megatrends on business and workforce transformation and what this means for future reward and benefits planning.
