Monday 06/24/2019 03:00 PM - 04:00 PM   Add to calendar
Competencies: Business Acumen, HR Expertise | Intended Audience: Mid-Level
Workplace Application:
Learn how to increase engagement of virtual employees using technology and personalization.  

With five generations in the workforce and an increase in the number of gig workers and people working remotely, today’s workplace is quickly evolving. If your organization is not delivering on employee expectations, it could lose workers. One of the many challenges these changes have presented is how to increase the “stickiness” of these employees and help them bond with your company and culture. What if you could leverage your total rewards program to increase employee loyalty and retention? Eighty-nine percent of employees say benefits are as important as salary, but 26 percent of Millennials say they’d rather clean their toilets than deal with the complexity of a health plan. This session will share how providing a consumer-grade employee experience using personalized access tools will increase engagement for your virtual workforce. 

Learning Objectives:

  • Learn what today’s health care consumers are expecting from a health and benefits experience—and what they will expect in the future.
  • Understand how the latest total rewards strategies and innovations can become important tools for a virtual workforce.
  • Learn how companies are making workforce analytics, artificial intelligence and advanced technologies part of their business strategy.
