In this Industry Insight episode of the On Aon podcast, Aon leaders discuss why employee benefits have become a critical leadership agenda item for retailers. As benefits costs rise and workforce expectations evolve, organizations have an opportunity to unlock greater value from one of their largest workforce investments. The conversation explores how leading retailers are using data, analytics and governance to make more informed decisions, align workforce investments with business priorities and strengthen outcomes across talent, operations and financial performance. They also examine how a more strategic approach to benefits can help organizations gain deeper insight, deploy capital more effectively and stay ahead in a rapidly changing environment. Key Takeaways:      Employee benefits have a significant impact on performance, employee experience and financial outcomes across the organization. Leading organizations are using data and analytics to connect benefits to business priorities, enabling more confident decisions and greater visibility into costs and outcomes. Organizations can create greater value by improving visibility of their benefits programs, strengthening governance and taking a more sophisticated approach to financing. Experts in this episode:    Tom Bowman, Global Retail and Consumer Goods Industry Leader, Aon      Matt Duffy, Chief Commercial Officer, Global Benefits, Aon Key Moments:      (01:50) Why employee benefits have moved beyond a traditional HR function and become a leadership priority tied to workforce performance, financial outcomes and risk management. (08:25) How organizations can improve visibility into benefits spending, strengthen governance and identify opportunities to create greater value from workforce investments. (13:08) How data and analytics are transforming benefits decision-making and helping organizations connect workforce investments to business outcomes. Soundbites:      Tom Bowman: "Benefits are no longer simply a cost of employment. They are now much more of a strategic lever that can actually influence workforce performance. And that then improves employee experience that then drives real benefits, both on operational resilience and also the real financial outcomes of an organization." Matt Duffy: “Benefits have now become one of the largest workforce investments that organizations make, secondary only to payroll. And yet historically they've received far less attention and far less strategic oversight by the people within the organization that really matter.”

In this Industry Insight episode of the On Aon podcast, Aon leaders Liz Henderson and Susan Doering examine how climate risk is redefining decision-making across the food, agribusiness and beverage (FAB) sector — and what it takes to stay ahead. Rather than viewing climate as a standalone exposure, the conversation frames it as a force shaping pricing stability, operational continuity and workforce strategy. Liz and Susan discuss how organizations can translate insight into action by strengthening data capabilities, aligning cross-functional priorities and deploying innovative risk transfer solutions. The focus is not only on managing disruption, but on unlocking greater certainty, protecting margin and positioning for long-term growth. Key Takeaways:   Climate risk is reshaping core business functions — from supply and pricing to talent — requiring leaders to embed it into enterprise decision-making, not manage it at the margins. Leading organizations are accelerating the shift to analytics-led strategies to help guide investment, inform planning and create confidence in uncertain conditions. Collaboration across the value chain — coupled with more sophisticated risk transfer solutions — is enabling organizations to stabilize supply, protect capital and pursue growth with greater certainty. Experts in this episode:    Liz Henderson, Global Head of Climate Risk Advisory, Aon Susan Doering, Global Food, Agribusiness and Beverage Leader and Enterprise Client Leader, Aon Key Moments:   (02:00) Why climate risk is no longer a standalone issue — and how it is amplifying supply chain disruption, pricing volatility and workforce pressures across the FAB sector. (07:30) A real-world example showing how climate shifts are already changing harvest timelines, crop quality and long-standing production practices. (15:30) What leadership looks like in practice — investing in analytics, aligning long-term planning and adopting new risk transfer approaches to create stability and support growth.   Soundbites:   Liz Henderson:  “At Aon, we like to think about climate as a risk amplifier rather than a standalone thing that you have to manage independently. It is a thread across all of those risk categories. And yet there's so much of the industry that remains unprotected.” Susan Doering:  “I'd like to make sure that people are thinking about it, not just as like when we think about climate risk, we often think it's about just impacts to physical assets. But really what we're seeing now is real issues around pricing volatility, so lack of predictable ingredient prices and quality impacts for specialty crops.” Key Resources: 2026 Climate and Catastrophe Insight report

47% of health systems have no clear owner for patient activation. CMOs call it the biggest untapped growth opportunity in healthcare. Marketing has the strongest unclaimed toolkit for the work. Chris Boyer and Reed Smith on whether marketing claims the category, and what it accepts in return. This week's episode runs a thought experiment. What if marketing simply claimed the category. Not partial credit. Not co-ownership with clinical operations. The whole thing, identification through completed care. Chris Boyer and Reed Smith map the teams currently sharing the work, the asymmetric capability marketing brings to it, and the operational accountability marketing has to absorb to make the claim defensible. If the largest unclaimed growth category in healthcare is sitting on your desk and your function has the strongest unclaimed toolkit for it, the question isn't whether you want it. It's whether you're willing to be measured on completed care.

Learn how emerging technologies like the TrueFlow Grid are reshaping industry standards and enhancing home comfort and energy efficiency.You can reach Chris at: chughes@energyconservatory.com Here's the link to Inspector Empire Builder: https://www.iebcoaching.com/eventsTakeawaysAirflow is one of the most common and critical HVAC failures—and it's often never measured.HVAC systems should be commissioned, not assumed to work correctly once installed.Building science bridges the gap between equipment performance and real‑world comfort.Many comfort and moisture issues stem from missing returns, pressure imbalances, and poor duct design.Modern diagnostic tools that measure both pressure and airflow provide clearer, actionable insights.Heat pump technology is evolving rapidly and performing far beyond earlier generations.Makeup air for large kitchen exhaust systems is frequently overdesigned and misunderstood.Codes, insurance requirements, and rising costs are reshaping how HVAC work is done.Long‑term success in HVAC comes from continuous learning, testing, and professional integrity.Technology can amplify great work—but it can't replace sound fundamentals.Chapters00:00  Introduction and Background03:03  The HVAC Industry and Building Science06:00  Chris Hughes' Journey in HVAC08:57  Transitioning to Residential HVAC12:08  The Importance of Education and Mentorship14:59  Innovations in HVAC Tools and Techniques18:09  Current Trends in the HVAC Industry20:56  Challenges and Opportunities in HVAC23:49  The Role of Technology in HVAC26:53  Future of HVAC and Building Performance31:22  The Evolution of HVAC Technology35:00  Understanding HVAC Commissioning38:50  The Importance of Accurate Airflow Measurement40:12  Debunking HVAC Myths44:33  Unusual HVAC Installations and Their Challenges52:24  The Power of Positive Thinking

Hey Voices from the Bench community! Jessica Love here, sending a shoutout from Utah! If you're passionate about creating natural, beautiful smiles—but want to simplify your workflow without sacrificing aesthetics—this is for you. I'm honored to be part of Ivoclar's development team introducing a powerful new stain and glaze system featuring Structure Paste, IPS e.max Ceram Art. Create stunning depth and lifelike color in as little as one firing. Let's continue to innovate, simplify, and create meaningful change—one smile at a time. CAM has been a major topic lately, and a lot of that conversation keeps coming back to hyperDENT. But instead of just talking about the software itself, it's worth looking at real-world experience. Imagine USA has been using hyperDENT in their own lab for over 15 years. That kind of longevity says a lot—they're not just selling and supporting it, they're relying on it in their own production every single day. That's what really sets them apart. This week, Elvis and Barb sits down with Katherine Steinbock-Dyke of Whip Mix to talk legacy, leadership, and the evolution of a family-run powerhouse in the dental industry. As part of the Steinbock lineage, Katherine shares what it was like growing up around the business—from selling Girl Scout cookies on the shop floor to eventually stepping into the CEO role. Her journey wasn't a straight line, starting instead in international business and corporate HR before finding her way back to Whip Mix and working her way through multiple roles across the company. The conversation dives into the realities of running a multi-generational company in a rapidly changing industry. Katherine talks about balancing tradition with innovation, from gypsum and articulators to digital workflows and resin development. She opens up about the challenges of staying relevant, the importance of continuous improvement (hello, WIN program), and what it really means to lead a team she genuinely cares about. Along the way, there's plenty of classic bench banter—everything from assembling pizzas at Papa John's to the chaos of early 3D printing workflows and navigating massive trade shows like IDS. The episode wraps with a look at where Whip Mix is headed, Katherine's focus on reconnecting with labs and customers, and how the next generation is shaping the future of dental manufacturing while respecting its roots.Special Guest: Katherine Steinbock-Dyke.

Indie bookstore owner Nikkya joins Anne today to talk about the pain points in her reading life. Nikkya reads widely for her work as owner of Obodo Serendipity Books in Stratford, Connecticut. She is most at home as a reader in her go-to nonfiction spaces, where she knows what she likes and is able to find it. After having a real aha moment six months ago, Nikkya has been trying to strike a delicate balance between her professional reading and reading for pleasure. And it's only going okay. She's especially feeling the friction of seeking to push into genres she's less familiar with, like historical fiction, romance, and mysteries and thrillers. Today she and Anne explore what successful branching out might look like, with specific title recommendations that may feel like doable, pleasurable steps in a new direction.
