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.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how technology can turn benefits from a once-a-year enrollment event into an ongoing, meaningful part of the employee experience.

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.
