Global Employee Benefits Global Employee Benefits The Swiss Life Network Perspectives September 2015 Global Employee Benefits Newsletter | September 2015 Editorial // 2 Dear Reader I’m delighted to share the September issue of our Global Employee Benefits newsletter with you. Its focus is firmly on change and devel- opment, reflecting topics at this year’s Global Forum, our main an- nual conference for Swiss Life Network Partners. We have now made several internal organisational changes that allow us to further strengthen our long-standing partnerships and optimise services and solutions for our clients. Change is about opening up ca- pacity for new opportunities as we move into the constantly shifting future. For example, we are currently working hard on digitalisation in order to improve our communication channels, increase client sat- isfaction, and simplify our day-to-day processes. From this issue onwards, we will be exclusively distributing the news- letter electronically, although naturally, there is also a downloadable format if you prefer to print out a paper copy. I hope you’ll enjoy reading all the latest updates and news from the Swiss Life Network.
