Leveraging Benefits Strategies to Shape the Future

Program Descriptions:

Keynote Speaker I
Randall K. Abbott, 
Senior Strategist Emeritus of Willis Towers Watson
The Future of Benefits in the New World of Work

Randy Abbott will examine the external factors, employer perspectives and employee views that are reshaping the employer sponsored benefits portfolio. He will explore the years ahead looking beyond the next renewal to understand future implications on benefits strategy and tactics drawing on research, the latest data and market insights.

How will workforce generational shifts and the “gig” economy change benefit offerings? What will remain the same? Is choice coming back? What’s changing in health care and wellbeing? When does it make sense to pursue new technologies and innovations? Most important, how do you decide what’s right for your organization?
