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.

Legacy benefits systems often create inefficiencies, data silos, and poor user experiences for both HR teams and employees.

Experts will discuss how to evaluate platforms, navigate system integrations, and reduce administrative burden while improving accuracy and scalability.

Attendees will gain insight into how modern benefits tech can free HR teams from manual processes, reduce risk, and create a more seamless experience across the entire benefits lifecycle.

Even the most robust benefits offerings fall short if employees don’t understand or use them. This session examines how benefits technology is enabling more personalized, data-driven engagement—through targeted communications, decision-support tools, and year-round education strategies.

Panelists will explore how employers can leverage analytics to identify gaps in utilization, tailor messaging to different workforce segments, and improve benefits literacy without overwhelming employees.

Experts will discuss real-world use cases, implementation challenges, and the ethical, privacy, and governance considerations benefits leaders must address.

Attendees will gain clarity on where AI delivers real value today, where human oversight remains essential, and how to responsibly incorporate automation into a long-term benefits technology strategy.

Most employers have already introduced some level of benefits choice or flexibility—but how do we measure their success? This session takes a look at how today’s customized benefits strategies are actually performing, and whether they’re delivering measurable value.
Experts will examine the most common personalization models in use today, and discuss which approaches are driving engagement, retention, and cost efficiency versus those adding complexity without clear return.
