In an era of economic uncertainty and spiraling healthcare costs, improving employee benefits seems like a pipe dream, and simply hanging onto current benefits a herculean struggle. The members of this council are on the front lines of that struggle every day. Topics we discuss include:
- Managing volatility in defined benefit programs
- Disease management
- Pension plan redesign
The crisis in healthcare, coupled with an aging workforce, makes it more important than ever for benefits executives to avail themselves of the latest ideas and best practices.
