Industry News | 'Employee benefits technology supports business fortification' - key learnings from Benifex Forum 2025

The Benifex Forum, held on 25 June 2025 at London’s iconic Institution of Engineering and Technology, brought together HR professionals, and thought leaders to explore ways to support employees holistically.

Leaders from across the sector gathered to explore how technology is reshaping employee benefits and organisational resilience. Discussions centred on the transformative force of AI, as a catalyst for positive change in the way businesses care for their workforce. The forum emphasised that robust benefits strategies are now integral to business fortification, calling on employers to take a proactive stance in supporting their people amidst rapid technological evolution.

Targeting purposeful and meaningful employee benefits that exist to serve the needs of the entire population helps to build stronger, fitter and more engaged employees – a pressing need at a time when disengagement has never been so high.

Employers should be on a mission to improve people’s lives

The introductory address from Michael Tigwell, Chief Operating Officer of Benifex addressed the magnitude of the change that AI is bringing to workplaces across the world. He referred to it as the biggest industrial revolution since the advent of the internet.
