About the HBLC 2022 | HRE’s Health & Benefits Leadership Conference

Get ready for the ultimate reunion of the benefits industry!

Employee benefits, health, and wellness programs continue to be in the spotlight and undergo a radical transformation. Now more than ever, employers need to be responsive and agile in adapting health, wellness, and benefits programs to address employees’ current pain points — or risk missing the mark and potentially losing valuable talent. The Human Resource Executive® Health & Benefits Leadership Conference, the nation’s top gathering of the savviest HR and Benefits professionals, is excited to return to Las Vegas in April 2022 for the first time in 3 years! Make sure you are there to gain expert insight and actionable guidance on how to build new benefits strategies to make a difference in the overall well-being of both your employees and your organization.

5 Great Reasons Why You Must Attend HBLC in 2022

1. Education You Need Now

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how we view employee benefits and suggests a need for employers to adopt a more holistic approach to benefits than in the past. At HBLC, you’ll learn the types of programs, plans, and tools now central to attracting and retaining employees and how to adapt them into your benefits strategy — no matter what your organization sizes. From supporting your employees’ mental health to helping them find financial security, you’ll learn new ways to innovate and communicate the value of your benefits package to create a culture of loyalty that keeps your employees healthy and productive, and positions you to win today’s talent war.

2. Direct Access to Industry Thought Leaders

Ask questions and get immediate answers, engage in one-on-one discussions, gain new perspectives from those leading the way, and help shape the future of workplace benefits, health, and wellness. The 2022 program features Suze Orman, one of America’s most trusted personal finance experts; Washington insider and American Benefits Council President James Klein; ABC News Chief Meteorologist and Mental Health Advocate Ginger Zee; i4cp’s Chair of Employee Well-Being Exchange Carrie Bevis; benefits communication industry leader Jennifer Benz; Gallagher’s HR & benefits technology thought leader Rhonda Marcucci and dozens more!

3. Unmatched Networking

There is no better feeling than when you surround yourself with others who understand the exact hurdles you face and can fully appreciate what you do each day. At HBLC, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet and connect with like-minded peers to swap advice and draw inspiration from each other’s experiences.

4. The Most Innovative Health, Benefits, and Wellness Solutions Expo

The largest and most important expo dedicated to the needs of HR and benefits professionals is open for two days for you to explore cutting-edge products and services from dozens of vendors, see 20-minute overviews of new products, and much more!

5. Earn Recertification Credits

Not only will you gain new knowledge and insight to further your career, you’ll also get professional credits for it! Attend HBLC and you’ll easily earn recertification credits to help maintain your HRCI and SHRM certifications!
