You’ve Mastered U.S. Benefits-- Now Let's Talk Global
September 16, 2025
Mandalay Bay J Ballroom
Breakout Session
You’ve nailed benefits in the U.S. – but what happens when your workforce spans the globe?
As enterprises grow internationally, legacy systems, fragmented vendors, and manual processes can create friction at every stage – from onboarding to engagement. In this session, Adam Mason, Chief Strategy Officer at Benifex, will be joined by Samantha Sergent, Director of International Benefits at Microsoft, to share how Microsoft is rethinking global benefits delivery – and what it really takes to modernize, digitize, and scale.
From managing 800+ unique benefits across 100 countries, to reducing over a million manual data points by digitizing eligibility, they’ll explore how Microsoft is transforming its global benefits infrastructure and aligning with a new strategic vision: “one platform, one experience – wherever you work.” They’ll also discuss how to scale benefits globally while delivering locally relevant experiences across LATAM, EMEA, and APAC.
Join us to learn how forward-thinking employers like Microsoft are moving beyond spreadsheets and siloed systems to unlock strategic value, free up HR teams, and engage employees – wherever they are in the world.
