NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN PENSIONS & BENEFITS

Join your peers and colleagues to hear about new developments in biologics as their popularity increases and what employers need to know about their impact on benefit plans. Also hear about how one plan sponsor used new developments in pension communication to move DC plan member engagement from member apathy to member action.

Biologics, Biosimilars and Reimbursement

Biologics are the fastest growing specialty drug classification on the market. As the population ages and the popularity of biologics increases, employers need to understand the impact these highly successful yet costly drugs can have on benefit plans. Join Suzanne Lepage, a private health plan strategist, as she addresses the developments of biologics and how they differ from traditional drug therapies, as well as how the market for biologics and subsequent entry biologics is likely to develop. She will also discuss some of the issues plan sponsors should consider when planning coverage for biologic therapies.

Increasing engagement in a DC Plan: Niagara Casinos Journey

Engaging DC plan members in their pension plan is challenging in most organizations. Diversity of interest, financial literacy, complexity of the plans, and fear of making the wrong choices often lead to inertia. Join Colleen, Benefits Canada award winner, as she shares Niagara Casinos’ journey from member apathy to action using a multi-layered communication plan to engage all generations in planning their retirement. Learn about how they partnered with Sun Life Financial and used a variety of new media including video, Playbook© technology and non traditional methods to execute an education and re-enrolment campaign that exceeded their expected outcomes. Discuss how key measures of your plan can be used to drive both strategy and results with your senior team and how Niagara Casinos’ Rock Your Retirement initiative has changed the way they view pension communication.
