Employer-funded health benefits need to adapt – are you ready?

Regardless of which countries you are responsible for, chances are you are grappling with the design, usage, costs and outcome objectives for your employees' health benefits. 

You’re not alone: medical advances, rising chronic illnesses, poor lifestyle habits and ageing population across most of the globe, mean that anyone responsible for workforce health strategies and buying employee benefits are being increasingly challenged to make the right decisions for their workforce.

And if that wasn’t exercising your mind enough, advancing digital tools are both shifting medical devices themselves, as well as how employees access them. 

In short, the types of employer-funded health benefits that have previously served well are now needing to adapt.

We recognise this is a growing issue, and have created the REBA Future of Health & Protection Summit, specifically for reward and benefit specialists like yourself. 

It brings together experts from across the sector to explore the current challenges and possible solutions, mitigating people risks and keeping costs under control.

This private all-day event takes place in London on Thursday 13 March, you can register your interest if you’d like to attend. We’ll be discussing the topics that are relevant to you.

Whether you are using a captive, trust, or insurances as your funding vehicle, and/or rely on direct-pay medical services, there is an ongoing need to understand the clinical and health outcomes of spend.

Plus the relevant tax and legislative regimes across the countries in which you operate.

Part of the solution is to understand and use your data more effectively.

From claims costs and claims information, through to employee health outcomes and feedback, there is plenty to dig into to understand whether your spend is delivering the clinical outcomes you want and need.

Coupled with this is the ability to forecast people and health risks within your organisation to prepare today for what might be coming down the line.
