DonateEmployee Benefits Council
Balancing cost control and employee well-being: our jobs as benefits professionals have never been more demanding. Spiraling healthcare costs and the changing work environment are just two of the external factors that add to the complexity of our work. This Council discusses:
- Strategies to manage health care costs and effective innovative partners
- Integrated wellness, including physical and mental health, well-being and financial security
- Addressing the needs of a multi-generational workforce
- Effective communications and engagement tactics
- Promoting retirement readiness in a defined contribution context
Our candid conversations help us to stay abreast of what other organizations are doing in this dynamic area and give us specific tools for improving our own programs. Our focus is primarily the US, with about 20% of discussion on global topics.

In today's fast rapidly changing work environment there are numerous communications on new, dazzling and different HR approaches. The Conference Board meetings bring many of these initiatives into a more realistic perspective. It seems like one of the members has tried everything. In both the meeting framework and the follow up networking, there is a tremendous opportunity to flesh out these ideas and determine whether they make sense for your organization.
