MENA pensions forum to discuss employee benefits
Manama : TAKAUD, the specialist provider of pensions, savings, and investment solutions for the MENA region, announced that Claudia Maldonado will lead its important HR session on “How to make your employees love their benefits” at the 2017 MENA Pensions Conference taking place on 28 November.
The session deals with effective employee engagement for business success, a subject that is new to the MENA region and which is headlining HR initiatives among leading employers and practitioners globally.
Conference registration is free, with an agenda of significant interest to HR directors, managers, remuneration and benefits specialists and finance managers.
Maldonado is Head of Regional Business Development with Mercer Middle East and has spent 18 years with leading international providers in the areas of employee
benefits.
She was directly involved in the design, administration and promotion of employee benefit programs and headed a company dedicated to their promotion with SMEs in South Africa.
“With all the businesses I got involved with, SMEs or large corporates, local companies or multinationals, the appetite for employee
benefits varied. Some employers took a paternalistic approach and provided benefits wanted and considered fair by employees. Other employers introduced “minimum” benefits to discharge a perceived obligation. There is a case for improved employee engagement where employers design their employee benefits as part of their overall HR strategy. And we have seen that improved employee engagement lends itself to improved productivity which contributes to business sustainability,” she said.
Ebrahim K. Ebrahim, Conference Chairman, said, “We are thrilled to have someone of Maldonado’s calibre, experience and dynamism to speak on this important issue at this year’s MENA Pensions Conference. We believe that the themes and information she will deliver can make a difference to businesses and SMEs in our region.”
