What: "Enabling Personalized Plan Design at Zions Bancorporation" – a session on how technology is enabling Zions' successful transition to CDHPs and to address today's challenging workforce needs – containing costs without compromising coverage, offering more benefit options, dealing with unprecedented regulatory change and communicating health and benefit options across multiple generations

"Our shift to CDHPs was driven by far more than bottom line savings – it's about providing our 10,000+ employees with options so each employee has the right plan to lead a healthy life," said Zion Bancorporation EVP & Corporate Benefits Director Diana Andersen. "Technology has been a great enabler in this, and I look forward to sharing how other organizations can use data and personalized communications to build a personalized benefits offering in a cost-effective way."

"The average employer on our platform now offers 15 types of benefits," said Benefitfocus SVP of Product Strategy Annmarie Fini. "Employees have become health care consumers, and employers that offer more options along with the tools and resources to guide their decision-making have an edge in attracting and keeping top talent. I am excited to speak alongside our long-time customer Diana and share how technology has helped Zions in plan design, enrollment and employee engagement in the new world of health care consumerism."
