In a heated race for talent, the status quo benefits package is no longer cutting it. Smart benefits professionals are going above and beyond with a host of perks that address such topics as work-life balance, caregiving, chronic disease and financial wellness — all in an effort to make a significant impact on the lives of employees. That impact is evidenced by four impressive benefits professionals — this year’s winners of Employee Benefit News’ Benny Awards.

The annual Benny Awards recognize excellence in the employee benefits/human resources field. Four awards — Benefits Professional of the Year, Benefits Leadership in Retirement Planning, Benefits Leadership in Healthcare and Judges’ Choice — are presented to employee benefit or human resource practitioners selected by EBN editors.
