You are invited to attend a one-hour briefing presented by the World Economic Forum, Mercer and the OECD. We will share with you the insights from personal interviews with 200 CEOs, senior executives, government ministers, academics, and NGO representatives on healthcare and pensions issues.

 

The world's workforce is ageing rapidly and productivity levels in many countries are falling. Employees are becoming less healthy, chronic disease is occurring at earlier ages, and many employees are not saving for retirement. These trends are alarming and lead to strong increases in healthcare and retirement demand and spending.

This webcast will enable you as employers to:

  • Shift from a tactical to strategic focus on promoting employee wellness and an increased amount of financial and retirement advice for workers
     
  • Learn about emerging country trends
     
  • Understand the 12 external risks judged to have the most impact on pensions and healthcare
     
  • Test the effectiveness of your existing or considered health and retirement strategy against likely future environments 2009 - 2030 (Scenarios)
     
  • Where appropriate, incorporate into your health and retirement strategy the most promising financing strategies indentified by this research
