Next Generation Benefits: Redefining Workforce Well-being
This summit explores how employers are expanding benefits strategies to better support menopause, substance use recovery, and mental health through more inclusive, modern, and technology-enabled approaches. Across these sessions, the focus is on improving access, reducing stigma, and designing programs that strengthen employee well-being while supporting long-term workforce resilience.
Agenda
Menopause is emerging as a key workplace well-being priority, offering employers an opportunity to support midlife women and retain experienced talent. This session highlights the growing landscape of menopause benefits, from symptom-management clinics and digital health tools to policy accommodations, manager training, and environmental adjustments.
Experts will discuss how to build a program that is evidence-based, culturally sensitive, and inclusive of diverse experiences, including perimenopause and surgical menopause.
Attendees will learn how these benefits can reduce absenteeism, improve productivity, and strengthen organizational culture—all while addressing a long-overlooked area of health equity.
Substance misuse is affecting employees across industries at unprecedented levels, and employers are under increasing pressure to offer benefits that go beyond traditional EAPs. This session examines modern approaches to substance abuse benefits, including virtual treatment models, medication-assisted therapies, peer support systems, and more nuanced step-care frameworks.
This discussion will explore how to reduce stigma, improve engagement with recovery resources, and measure program effectiveness over time.
Attendees will leave with a clearer sense of what a next-generation substance abuse benefits program looks like—and how to design one that supports both employee well-being and organizational resilience.
As employers face rising demand for accessible, effective mental health resources, AI-powered solutions are reshaping how support is delivered. This session explores how emerging technologies—such as personalized care pathways, predictive analytics, and scalable digital therapies—are improving access while helping organizations manage costs.
Experts will discuss the ethical and privacy considerations HR must navigate, what real-world outcomes employers can expect, and how to integrate AI thoughtfully within an overall mental health strategy.
Attendees will gain clarity on how AI can expand care, enhance early intervention, and support diverse workforce needs without compromising human oversight.
