Together with Shortlister, Circles recently hosted The Trends Shaping Modern Benefits, a 30-minute webinar exclusivly for HR benefits brokers. It featured insights from Craig Window, President of Circles U.S., and Cathy Leibow, Vice President of Business Development, who explored how evolving workforce expectations are reshaping the role of benefits advisors and what brokers need to know to stay ahead.

The session examined three major trends impacting modern benefits: burnout as a design issue rather than a performance problem, the hidden costs of outdated benefits programs, and what truly drives successful return-to-office strategies. Craig and Cathy used real client examples to show how organizations are improving engagement and reducing stress through more intentional, employee-centered approaches. Watch the full video to explore the discussion and hear the Q&A, where common broker questions on implementation, outcomes and client positioning are addressed.
