What’s new: In this Human Capital Insight episode, Chris Simmons, head of health UK for Aon, is joined by Anthony Kemp, pensions and benefits director at Deloitte, to explore how organizations can rethink employee benefits and strike a better balance between cost containment and employee value.

Experts in this episode:

  • Chris Simmons, Head of Health, UK, for Aon
  • Anthony Kemp, Pensions and Benefits Director for Deloitte

Key Takeaways:  

  1. As talent expectations evolve, benefits are a core component of attraction, retention and engagement — particularly in professional services organizations.
  2. Employees are more likely to recognize and engage with benefits when they are tailored to individual needs and presented through a single, intuitive experience.
  3. Smarter design supports both employee wellbeing and cost control: by focusing on preventative health, strategic sourcing and continuous review, organizations can deliver meaningful benefits while managing long-term costs.
