Airdate: December 17, 2025

Organizations today face several challenges including rising costs and shifting regulations, not to mention that today’s workforce now spans five generations. This generational diversity can often mean changing expectations around benefits.

As organizations plan for 2026, employers’ benefits strategy should evolve beyond simply adding more point solutions — the employers who connect the dots around leave policy, family-focused benefits, and modern enrollment tech will likely see greater success when those pieces can work together as one ecosystem.

Join us as we explore:

  • How demographic shifts can impact both benefits offerings and communications, helping employees choose (and use) the right coverage, ultimately leading to a healthier, more productive workforce.

  • How tech can help provide not only better experiences and boost benefits engagement, but also enable integrations that tie different aspects of the benefits experience together.

  • The role of family-focused programs (such as family planning/fertility, cancer screenings, menopause and caregiving benefits) that can help key workforce demographics solve real challenges — and help ease employer pain points such as absenteeism and lower productivity.

  • Why delivering a positive leave experience matters.
