Faith Technologies Incorporated™ (FTI), a national leader in engineering, construction, manufacturing and clean energy, is proud to announce that Joanne Homa, director of benefits, has been named one of Employee Benefit News’ Excellence in Benefits honorees for 2025.

Homa was recognized for her outstanding leadership in implementing and investing in benefits technology that enhances the employee experience. She was honored at the Benefits at Work conference on Sept. 3, held at the Wynn Las Vegas.

“This recognition is a reflection of the incredible work and dedication of the entire benefits team,” Homa said. “We consistently demonstrate a deep commitment to ensuring that our benefits programs meet the evolving needs of our workforce and their families. With a focus on continuous improvement, we proactively seek opportunities to enhance plan designs, introduce innovative tools like digital benefits guides and explore forward-thinking solutions such as artificial intelligence (AI) support features.”

With more than 15 years experience in the benefits industry, including the past three with FTI, Homa’s strategic vision, compassionate leadership and drive for innovation exemplify what the Excellence in Benefits award is all about. In the past year, she spearheaded the launch of a digital benefits guide that makes it easier for team members to access and understand their benefits anytime, anywhere. The digital guide was widely embraced for its convenience, cost-efficiency and enhancing the team member experience.

Looking ahead, Homa and her team are developing an AI-powered chat feature on FTI’s intranet. This tool will provide team members with 24/7 access to benefits information and immediate answers to frequently asked questions, even outside of normal business hours. Leadership is particularly excited about the AI feature’s potential to further enhance support and accessibility for all team members.

The Benefits at Work conference celebrates human resources (HR) and benefits professionals shaping the future of work. This year’s event will feature peer-led strategy sessions and curated roundtables focused on the top priorities facing today’s workforce leaders.

“Joanne’s work is rooted in doing what is truly in the best interest of our team members,” said Julie Ryan, senior vice president of talent. “She leads with both heart and strategy, and we are incredibly proud to see her recognized on a national stage.”
