DENVER, Sept. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Benefitfocus, Inc. (NASDAQ: BNFT), a leading provider of cloud-based benefits management software, today announced Shandon Fowler, SVP of Product Strategy at Benefitfocus, will present at the 2017 International Society of Employee Benefits Symposium. In the session, Fowler will speak to the importance of choice in health coverage and share best practices for designing personalized plan offerings across a diverse workforce despite continually rising health care costs.

What: "The Power of Choice: Supporting Employees with Personalized Plans" – a session on how employers can use data analysis and communication to design and implement a broader benefits program that meets diverse workforce needs and improves talent retention and attraction without impacting the bottom line

When: Wednesday, September 20, 2017 at 10:45 a.m. UTC

Where: 2017 ISCEBS Employee Benefits Symposium, Hyatt Regency Denver, Denver, Colorado

"Those who administer health benefits to employees have two equal imperatives – providing choice to ensure each employee gets the right coverage and managing skyrocketing healthcare costs," said Benefitfocus SVP of Product Strategy, Shandon Fowler. "Making 'choice' work isn't easy, but diversifying benefits has a profound impact on attracting and keeping top talent. I'm excited to share a theory I've developed on 'The Long Tail of Benefits' and why employers need to go beyond traditional health care and into the new world of voluntary and lifestyle benefits."
