You’d think that managing the daily operations of a Fortune 500 company’s retirement benefit plans would be enough of a challenge for anyone. Ben Jackson met that challenge head-on, implemented a successful communications program boosting the financial skills of AT&T employees and guided the telecom giant to being one of just three companies to present to the President’s Advisory Council on Financial Capability.
A big task, indeed; next challenge. Jackson, 35, now leads a team delivering health care benefits to nearly 1.1 million active and retired employees and their dependents. With an annual budget of $5 billion, Jackson brought in a private health insurance exchange to deliver benefits to 200,000 Medicare-eligible retirees. He came into the transition midstream, but quickly used his background in benefits and personal finances to organize the effort.
Jackson summarized it this way: “As an HR professional, you want to work on projects that impact peoples’ lives for the better while delivering results for the business. This initiative was a massive opportunity to do both by creating a great health care experience for 200,000 people. Through innovation, collaboration and teamwork, we did that.”
Come see what we’re building in the world of predictive employee scheduling, superior labor insights and next-gen employee apps. We’re on a mission to automate workforce management for hourly employees and bring productivity, optimization and engagement to the frontline.
