REBA Congress 2026

Preventative health benefits to power business resilience

Across the globe, employers are prioritising the need to take responsibility for the health of their workforce, especially as costs continue to rise. An enormous change that is driving focus on strategic prevention to ensure business resilience.

We must now leverage health benefits to proactively address people risk, confronting the increase in mental health challenges, the demands of employees working longer with chronic illnesses, and the growth of severe illnesses - to deliver a workforce that is profitable, productive, and present.

Designed for visionary senior reward and benefit leaders, the REBA Congress on Thursday 18 June will help you do just that. Learn, share, and connect with your community, and return equipped to create meaningful change across your organisation.

Opening keynote: Lara Lewington, leading technology broadcaster, journalist and author specialising in AI and health
