Preparing For A Future That Rewrites Reward Models
The 5th Compensation & Benefits Conference brings together HR leaders, total rewards professionals, compensation specialists, and business decision-makers to explore a critical question facing organizations today.
Under the theme “TOTAL REWARDS 7.0: The Future Nobody Budgeted For,” this year’s conference examines the forces reshaping how organizations attract, reward, and retain talent. From AI-driven workforce transformation and skills-based rewards to pay transparency, personalized benefits, financial wellbeing, and changing employee expectations, traditional approaches to total rewards are being challenged like never before.
As organizations balance rising workforce demands with business realities, total rewards has become more than an HR function. It is now a strategic driver of talent attraction, employee experience, organizational resilience, and long-term growth.
Through expert insights, executive discussions, benchmarking perspectives, and practical case studies, the conference will equip leaders with the knowledge and strategies needed to navigate the next era of workforce value.
The future of total rewards is no longer on the horizon. It’s already shaping the decisions employees make and the organizations they choose to build their careers with.

HMDF, SSS, Philhealth Plans Programs, & Updates
This session begins with key announcements and developments from HMDF, SSS, and PhilHealth, followed by a panel discussion featuring leaders from each agency. Learn about upcoming changes, and how these updates impact your organization’s compliance and employee benefits strategies.
The Mercer Global Talent Trends 2026 sets the benchmark conversation with hard data on what is shifting, what is holding steady, and what Philippine organizations can no longer afford to overlook revealing hidden gaps between what employees expect and what employers are actually delivering.
Are younger generations unrealistic in their expectations, or are they exposing gaps in how rewards have traditionally been designed? This candid conversation tackles flexibility, mental health benefits, transparency, side hustles, and what “fair pay” really means to the next workforce.
Will AI replace traditional comp planning? Will automation reshape benefits administration? Or is technology simply a tool for smarter decision-making? This panel explores real use cases, risks, and where HR can optimize rewards using AI without losing the human element.
Competitive Total Rewards Structure for 2026 and Beyond
A direct look at whether current salary structures, benefits design, and benchmarking practices are truly competitive or simply outdated. This session pushes leaders to reassess what “market-aligned” really means today.
