In 2022, Sollio Cooperative Group launched an ambitious initiative to completely revamp and simplify its employee benefits plan. With a decentralized workforce of 12,000 employees across multiple divisions, industries, and job categories, the challenge was significant—but so was the opportunity.

This session will explore how Sollio moved from a traditional flexible benefits plan with credits to a modular approach that actually increased flexibility while delivering a more streamlined and improved employee experience. Attendees will gain an inside look at the full 2.5-year journey—from vision to execution—including key learnings across all major project phases: Pre-Design, RFP, Final Design, Branding, Communication, and Implementation.

The session will feature practical insights into cross-functional collaboration with consultants, insurers, and internal HR teams, along with lessons on how to align a complex benefits overhaul with business goals and employee expectations.

Key Takeaways:

• How to translate a high-level vision into a concrete, actionable benefits strategy
