Presentation Description

Health care reform has taken center stage in discussions for much of the past year often overshadowing exciting and innovative developments in benefits. Even in the challenging economy, employers have been able to bolster benefit offerings without adversely impacting their bottom line.
This session will provide ideas for human resources professionals to consider when building or enhancing their corporate benefits program in 2011 and beyond. Find out what the trends are in the benefits arena and what might be the next great offering in your own benefits package.

Attendees of this program will:

1.  Learn about trends that are becoming increasingly popular for employer sponsored benefits including consumer-driven health insurance plans and premiums, disability and life insurance, 401k plans, wellness programs, voluntary worksite benefits, onsite services and many more.
2.  Gain insights into the ways in which employers are becoming creative in offering attractive benefit packages that fit their budgets, drive smart health care consumerism and help retain employees.
3.  Explore how employees perceive the value of various benefits and discover what new benefits might be right for your own corporate culture.
