Description

The ability to care for your employees’ well-being – and do it better than your competitors – is critical to making a difference in 2023. Employees now expect much more from employers. Following the caregiving and self-care hardships of the pandemic, they increasingly demand benefits like mental health support, paid leave and flexibility across all benefits. But these benefits must be provided through an accessible, holistic experience that makes employees feel actively cared for. And importantly, these benefits need to be utilized for employers to maximize the return on their investments. In this session, a panel of Unum leaders will discuss how investments in consumer-centricity, technology and connected experiences can help you make a difference by humanizing the benefits experience and ultimately ensuring employees use the benefits available to them when faced with expected and unexpected challenges.

Learning Objectives

1.) Understand how the pandemic and consumer tech have changed employee expectations.
2.) Learn why employers must offer a more holistic and personalized range of benefits that have a higher likelihood of being used.
3.) Discover how consumer-focus and technology can make it easier for employers to meet expectations and maximize value.
