Toward Universal Work-Related Benefits

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the important role benefits play in workers’ lives. Paid leave, health insurance, workers’ compensation, and retirement plans cushion life events and equip workers to live safe and dignified lives. Our current system of benefits, though, leaves behind millions of workers. This event will explore how to make work-related benefits accessible to more people, including public and private sector approaches to portable and universal benefits.

Hear from a panel of leaders who have worked on innovative benefits programs for workers, covering a range of sectors and benefits. Each will speak about their efforts to expand benefits to more workers, share lessons learned, and offer insights for others interested in developing new approaches.
