Effective governance is increasingly critical for organisations managing employee benefits. Traditional benefit arrangements can place heavy operational and decision-making demands on HR teams and directors, especially when complex or sensitive claims arise.

This session explores how employers can strengthen oversight, manage risk, and simplify governance across their benefit arrangements.

We’ll cover:

• The hidden governance and operational responsibilities behind traditional employee benefit arrangements

• Where accountability and risk sit when complex claims arise, and implications for HR teams and directors

• How master trusts provide a clearer, more robust governance model for life assurance

• Integrating master trust arrangements alongside existing insurer relationships

• Practical strategies employers are using to manage risk, capacity, and governance pressures
