REBA Global Summit 2027

Driving multinational ROI and efficiency

Global and multinational benefits leaders are operating in a faster-moving, higher-risk environment than ever before. Business growth, M&A activity and expanding multinational remits mean many reward and benefits directors are now responsible for benefits across more countries, more employee populations and more regulatory environments, often without the infrastructure, data or governance needed to manage that complexity with confidence.  

At the same time, AI integration, complex regulatory shifts and increasing pressure to demonstrate ROI are raising expectations around global benefits administration, management and delivery. Employers need greater visibility over local provision, stronger vendor partnerships and better use of multi-country data to ensure benefits are compliant, cost-effective and aligned to wider business strategy.  

We’ll dive deep into: 

  • Operational intelligence: Harnessing AI, tech and multi-country benefits data to move from fragmented oversight to informed global benefits decision-making  
  • Strategic benefits optimisation: Evolving multinational benefits approaches to balance business priorities, local market requirements and scalable delivery 
  • Partnership evolution: Reframing how internal teams and external providers collaborate to drive better performance, deliver strategic value and achieve business-critical outcomes 

The REBA Global Summit is designed to help global reward and benefits leaders rethink their operating model, strengthen governance and identify practical ways to improve control, consistency and employee experience across borders.

  • Global benefits governance, compliance and control: Building the frameworks needed to manage complexity, risk and accountability across multiple countries, while staying ahead of changing local regulations and requirements and without compromising global consistency or increasing operational burden 
  • Effective ecosystems: Design a cohesive benefits offering by aligning core and voluntary benefits to maximise value, engagement and impact  
  • Global mobility: Strengthen benefits for global expatriates and business travellers, balancing risk, compliance and employee experience 
  • Employee experience and engagement: Rethink engagement and recognition to improve the employee experience of benefits across international locations 
  • Regional challenges: Share practical solutions to region-specific regulatory, cultural and operational challenges while staying aligned with global principles including strengthening internal relationships to secure buy-in, improve outcomes and achieve greater ROI

Who will attend? 

This invitation-only event* brings together key stakeholders and experts to help global and multinational reward and benefits directors navigate the increasingly complex and evolving global benefits landscape.  
  • Senior reward and employee benefits directors with multinational responsibility* 
  • Expert commentators 
  • Regulatory and legislative experts 

*This invitation-only event is aimed specifically at senior reward and benefit directors with multinational responsibility. Many have taken on additional countries and global oversight through business growth and M&A activity, often alongside their existing role, so they are having to manage global benefits complexity, cost and compliance at pace.
