Event Description

In today’s workplace, employee wellbeing and engagement are no longer “nice-to-have” — they are essential drivers of recruitment, productivity, retention, and organizational success. This employer-only forum explores how digital innovation and personalized strategies intersect to transform the employee experience. Learn how to pair cutting-edge technology with human-centered design to create tailored programs that resonate, deliver results, and fulfill the equation: Digital Innovation + Personalization = a thriving, engaged workforce.

During this forum, you will learn:

  • How digital innovation and healthy tech usage can enhance the reach, efficiency, and impact of employee wellbeing programs.
  • Tactics for personalization to increase engagement, relevance, and participation in wellbeing initiatives.
  • Strategies and challenges in maintaining employee connection and collaboration in today’s technology-centric environment.


This program is available both in-person and virtually.

*Attendees must be employers or sponsors to attend. MBGH defines an employer as an HR Professional who manages their population's health benefits and wellness programs. Consultants and sales reps are not considered employers for this registration. Thank you for understanding.
