Did you miss our live webinar on improving the relationship between employers, employee benefit consultants and insurers? Listen now on demand.

On the 22nd of June 2016, COVER and our sister title WSB held a webinar in conjunction with Unum asking whether the traditional relationship between employers, EBCs and providers has changed to reflect the new reality of work. 

This webinar looks at the changing needs of employers and discusses how advisers and providers need to work more in partnership with employers to help them achieve their objectives.

The panel discussed changing demographics in the workplace, whether the industry focuses too much on product as opposed to outcomes and how to improve the gaps in communication and sickness absence strategies. 

The webinar was chaired by COVER editor Fiona Murphy and WSB editor-in chief editor Jonathan Stapleton.

The panellists were Michelle Bradshaw, compensation & benefits director of Oracle, Matthew Gregson, consulting director at Thomsons Online and Liz Walker, head of key accounts at Unum.
