Versicherungsbroker-Forum 2025: How Do We Shape Occupational Pensions for Tomorrow?

Occupational pensions are undergoing change. Demographic shifts, rising healthcare costs and new regulatory frameworks present major challenges for employers, insurers and brokers.

At the Versicherungsbroker-Forum 2025 at the Gottlieb Duttweiler Institute, experts came together to discuss these issues. Our experts Granit Kabashi (Head of Sales German-speaking Switzerland and Ticino) and Alain Grand (Head of Pensions) were on site and exchanged ideas with industry colleagues.

The focus was on practical solutions: what is already working today – and which approaches are needed to strengthen pensions sustainably? For Tellco, it was the perfect opportunity to capture the participants’ perspectives and contribute its own experiences.

Current Challenges and Fresh Impulses for the Industry

The forum provided a platform for intensive exchange between brokers, pension experts and decision-makers. Various workshops and panel discussions shed light on the key questions facing the industry. A brief wrap-up:  

Case Management as a Performance Driver

Targeted case management can help reduce absenteeism and sustainably lower costs for companies. Together with HR departments, solutions are being developed to reintegrate employees more quickly and optimise premiums. 

From Likes to Leads: Social Media for Brokers

Social media remains an untapped potential for many brokers. The workshop demonstrated how, with a few targeted steps, trust can be built, new clients acquired and existing contacts strengthened – without daily effort or complicated technology.

1e – Optimal Solution or End of Solidarity?

For salary components above CHF 136,080, the BVG allows individual investment solutions. But what does this mean for employers, insured persons and solidarity within the system? The workshop explored the opportunities and risks of these flexible pension options.

Other highlights

The keynote by Prof. Dr. Aymo Brunetti on the topic “Economic situation and prospects in a turbulent environment” explained to us the potential consequences of the Trump shock.

Elena Kratter, para-athlete and Paralympic medal winner, delivered an impressive closing presentation about her journey to the world’s top, providing an emotional highlight that perfectly rounded off the day.

Perspectives for the Future

The Versicherungsbroker-Forum 2025 demonstrated how important dialogue between all stakeholders is. For Tellco, the forum was a valuable opportunity to network with key players in the industry, gain insights and work together on solutions for the pensions of tomorrow.

We would like to thank all contributors and participants for the inspiring exchange.
