Welcome to the Benefex Dublin Forum

Our 2024 global employee experience research is hot off the press, and it’s packed with original insights – we reveal the differences in what employees think of their experience at work based on where they are in the world, and the strategies the reward function is adopting in response.

After much debate, pensions auto-enrolment has been signed into law, with the goal of driving greater saving. However, the model differs significantly to other markets such as the UK. For companies operating in Ireland, a host of regulatory and process changes are on the horizon, potentially resulting in a significant administration burden for employers. In this session, our experts will cover the likely impact of the new bill and explore how to plan for a smooth and successful transition to auto-enrolment once the legislation comes into force. 

70% of organisations are looking to rollout global benefits tech in the next 12 months – either for the first time, or to new regions.

This session will explore tactics to bring together all your employee offerings seamlessly, while aligning with your organisation's values, purpose, and culture.
