Invitation-only event which examines the shifting landscape and explores the challenges and opportunities facing employers and insurers in managing employer-funded health and group risk benefits.
With NHS waiting lists at record levels, rising long-term sickness rates and employees struggling to get routine medical or dental appointments, employers have increasingly invested in more health and protection benefits for their employees. According to the ABI, a record 4.4 million employees are now covered through their employers.
Growing demand plus increasing claims means insurance costs have risen sharply, providing challenging dilemmas for employers. How can they support healthy workplaces and design workforce health benefits initiatives and solutions that are both affordable and sustainable? In response, many employers are putting in place preventative measures, revising their strategies to support earlier interventions and empowering employees to proactively look after their health.
The invitation-only REBA Future of Workplace Health & Protection Summit on Thursday 13 March will investigate both the drivers that are shaping the market and the solutions being devised. Building on the success of the inaugural event last year, the day-long event will assemble an unrivalled line-up of experts from regulators, providers and employers to discuss the strategies that could help mitigate the risks while offering vital health support in the workplace. To reflect the success of the event, the Summit is moving to a new venue, County Hall on London’s Southbank.
This event was so relevant; I learnt a lot and it really got me thinking when my thinking on this subject had really been stuck in a rut!

Key issues on the agenda:
The aim is for attendees to leave with a renewed focus, energy and vision for how to shape their workplace health and protection strategies armed with the latest knowledge and insights from experts, providers and their peers.
I came away from the day with some great insights, and a lot of food for thought. I will be taking some of this into my upcoming renewal conversations.
