HR leaders and healthcare benefits officers from leading organisations across Asia have gathered at InterContinental Singapore for the annual Employee Healthcare Interactive 2017. On this page, you can find live updates from the conference, with the most recent session updates appearing first.
That brings us to the end of Employee Healthcare Interactive 2017! Before we end the day, we thank the speakers for making the time to share their best practices. We also thank our sponsors for making this event possible:

Gold Sponsor: CXA Mercer Marsh Benefits
Silver Sponsor: Aetna International Mednefits Prudential Singapore
Last but not the least, thank you to all of your delegates for making this conference a wonderful one. We look forward to seeing you again at our other events!
Before we call it a day, delegates are invited to contribute their top takeaway via Pigeonhole on to a word cloud. Alongside, we invite our table hosts to sum up their key takeaways from today.
Now it’s time for the first of five interactive sessions we will be having today. With five topics to be discussed in parallel on both sides of the room, we are pleased to have the following table hosts:
For the topic of Assessing ROI, our table hosts are: Hans Han, regional head of compensation & benefits at Bridgestone Asia Pacific Dr. Faizal Kassim, medical director of clinical services at Fullerton Health
The topic of Healthcare Trends and Cost will be hosted by: Chris Teo, chief executive officer (CEO) of Mednefits Derek Goldberg, managing Director for Asia Pacific at Aetna International
Our table hosts for the Healthcare Governance topic are: Desiree Wu, regional director of operations at VML South East Asia and India Nohrinyl Verzosa, regional head of HR for APJC at Tata Communications
On the topic of Healthcare and Wellness Culture, we have: Namrata Kohli, human resources leader for South Asia, Middle East & Africa at Lloyd’s Register Lucy Tan, chief human resources officer, NatSteel
Lastly, for the topic of Integrated Healthcare and Wellness Strategy, we have: Dennis Ng Kwang Hong, head of strategy and transformation (for enterprise solutions) at Prudential Carlo Felicia, head of rewards for Greater China, ASEAN Pacific, and Japan at Philips
Our first speaker has had many years of experience in the areas of benefits consulting and HR with large MNCs serving a diverse clientele - Eudora Choo, vice-president of benefits and governance for APAC at Deutsche Bank. Currently, as the vice-president for benefits governance at Deutsche Bank, she is responsible for driving the wide array of benefit programmes the bank has for its 18,000 employees in the region.
For her presentation, she is tapping on her experience to identify the reasons for lack of employee participation in health and wellness programmes, as well as how to motivate employees through education, communication, rewards and incentives.
Inaugurating the conference is Jerene Ang, senior journalist, Human Resources. She says: "The phrase ‘health is wealth’ was conceived for a reason. It makes sense for organisations to invest in their employees’ health and wellbeing since healthy employees tend to be more productive - wouldn’t you agree?"
