Rising use of artificial intelligence and an increasingly digital world is meant to improve efficiencies and business outcomes. However, this transition can create anxiety about the future of jobs among employees, while also increasing the intensity of their work.

In this webinar, with strategic partners Awardco, the panel revealed how forward-thinking employers are using benefits that will support the human advantage. They also discussed how they are adapting intrinsic reward in 2026 to meet the differing motivational needs of today’s employers across different cohorts. And how they are adapting recognition and incentive programmes to focus on the tasks that humans need to do that make a difference. 

Chaired by Debi O’Donovan, co-founder and director at REBA, the speakers included:

  • Elle Hopkins, VP, global total rewards at Medallia Inc.
  • Niall Mullins, enterprise customer success manager at Awardco
  • Jo Rees, global experience owner, performance & reward at GSK

REBA webinars are complimentary for everyone working within rewards and benefits, HR, and wellbeing. 

Thank you to our strategic partner, Awardco, for supporting this REBA webinar.
