IEBA NL Event
When: Thursday, 20 September 2018 at 15:30 to 19:00
Where: Cognizant, Gustav Mahlerlaan 308, 1082 ME Amsterdam
Subject: Mobility On The Move!
Speaker(s): Louis Everard, Ernst Steltenpohl, Hanno Goos
|
Mobility On The Move! Individualisation, e-connect, what’s in it for me, demand driven economy, war for talent and much more set the scene of today’s world.
Employees are just expecting employers to adapt to fit in.
They offer their skill set at any location they like, work over there for some time and then move on to the next opportunity. While in the mean time they’ve further developed their hard and soft skills. Valuable! For corporates this can be challenging as potential this behaviour could lead to a lower than expected return on investment as this group’s goal is to move on after a certain period.
Do you too recognize this trend or is it just old ideas parading as new ones?
Our speakers share with us different angles to encourage the debate we aim to organise.
Ø Louis Everard, Director of the Association of Professional Football Players (VVCS, Vereniging Van Contract Spelers) will discuss sharing of talent as renting of football players is a phenomena being in place in this market for quite some time. Ø Ernst Steltenpohl, Board Member Expatise and Hanno Goos, Strategic Consultant Staff at the Dutch Armed Forces, provide insight in the new approach currently being explored to potentially implement at the Dutch Armed Forces: staff members to work temporary for non-military organisations whilst continue to being employed by the army.
Let’s have a debate in break out groups to discuss and explore this further and share the outcome of these discussions. Helpful feedback for ourselves and last but not least, the speakers too!
We’ll close with fingerfood and drinks for further mingling and networking.
Please register to this event at [email protected] should you wish to attend to learn and share your views.
Looking forward to meeting you all Thursday 20 September! |

PLEASE NOTE EARLIER START TIME. THIS IS A SLIGHTLY LONGER SESSION AND SO WE SHOULD HAVE AMPLE TIME FOR QUESTIONS AND DISCUSSION. THERE WILL BE DRINKS AND CANAPES AFTERWARDS AS WELL AT THE LAW SOCIETY BAR.
With the recent introduction of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and one of the biggest data risks facing multinational organisation being cyber risk, protecting confidential, personal identifiable data from cyber threats is crucial, and is a key top-of-mind issue for multinationals.
How can multinational companies best seek to manage and mitigate cyber security risk and protect their data? Come and learn that while it is key to protect against external vulnerabilities, the most important manifestation of company-critical risk is from an organisation’s own human capital.
Please come and share your thoughts and experiences on this topic. We are privileged to have Yves Duhaldeborde, Senior Director, Willis Towers Watson, to present on this topic, including sharing his experience of how high performing organisations are exploring risk-resilient company cultures and leadership to support the right behaviours to tackle cyber risk.
Brief profile: Yves is a Senior Director in the Talent & Rewards segment of Willis Towers Watson, where he specialises in strategies aimed at leveraging employee perspectives, attitudes and behaviours to enhance business performance and employee experience. He advises global companies across a very wide range of sectors on strategies to maximise engagement, reduce turnover within key employee segments, and efficiently allocate resources to people development programs that have the biggest effect on productivity and business performance.
We are waiting for confirmation on possible additional corporate and provider speakers to join the debate: further details to follow.

Where: Radisson Blu Royal Hotel, Brussels
Subject: IEBA 18th Annual Conference
We held another very successful Annual Conference on 14 and 15 March 2018. This was the 12th time we have held our Annual Conference in Brussels; it has proved to be the ideal location where we can easily replicate and build on the previous highly successful Conferences, where we have enjoyed consistently high levels of attendance from a wide variety of countries, and also received very positive feedback ('A very worthwhile conference' - 'A good balance of subjects' - 'Great and smooth overall organisation' - 'Great opportunity for networking' - 'Fantastic dinner' - etc.).
We had a record number of delegates (over 180) and our efforts to balance the proportion of employers to service providers (consultants, insurance companies, etc) paid off. Almost 50% of the delegates were from employers.
Copies of the presentations are available below for members who are logged in.
We look forward to seeing many of you at the next Annual Conference in Brussels in March 2019!

CANCELLED: IEBA Belgium meeting
When: Thursday, 8 February 2018
Subject: Stress-related illnesses: prevention and reintegration management
Speaker(s): Griet De Bevere, Global Benefits Manager Wolters Kluwer + speaker from AG Insurance
It’s with great regret that we need to cancel our IEBA Belgium meeting of Thursday February 8. Unfortunately we received a number of cancellations, especially from our corporate members. As a result the remaining participants would be mostly insurers and a few consultants. We feel that a limited group of participants and the absence of our target audience (i.e. the corporate Compensation & Benefits professionals) does not justify to invite 2 quality speakers who have prepared a presentation focusing on this specific group.
We wish to apologize for any inconvenience that this cancellation may cause. We hope to see you soon at the IEBA conference in Brussels or at another IEBA Belgium event later this year.
