Benefits Seminars
20/20 Vision for 2020!
Many employers just wrapped up their 2019 benefits renewals and open enrollment periods. That makes this the perfect time to start planning for 2020! Often, the most limiting factor in making a change is the feeling that you've run out of time.
This series of two-hour seminars will lay the foundation for evaluating your organization's employee benefits strategy - ahead of schedule!
Join Rich Wilber, Aperture Consulting for these interactive and informative seminars.

Session 1: REDESIGN
Wednesday, Jan 30
9AM -11AM
If you could redesign your benefits program from scratch, would it look like the program you currently have?
- Trends, benchmarks & employee surveys will explore national and regional surveys, trends, and benchmarks. We will also discuss the value of conducting your own employee benefits survey, and provide tips for collecting meaningful data. These sources will inform our priorities for the redesign.
- FSA/HRA/HSA strategies will focus on comparing and contrasting saving & spending accounts like FSA/HRA/HSA. I'll explain why one or more of these accounts should serve as the cornerstone of your benefits program. We'll also discuss design techniques for making these accounts less cumbersome, more accessible, and much more valuable.
Session 2 - REFINANCE
Wednesday, February 27
9AM -11AM
What is the best way to finance our plans? Do we need an insurance product to offer a health or disability plan?
- Self-funding solutions will provide a detailed education on self-funded health and welfare benefits. We will review this as a potential solution for small and large employers alike. We will answer the question of "Is it too risky?" and summarize the transition into and out of these programs.
- Alternative cost control strategies will focus on cost control. Building on the understanding of self-funded plans, we'll compare alternative models like consortiums, captives, and trusts. We will explore additional cost-control strategies like reference-based pricing and value-based insurance design. Finally, we'll highlight some hidden costs in what appears to be a transparent program.

Do you have a smoke free policy?
Would you like assistance developing a policy?
|
O
ver the past 20 years, workplaces have seen a sweeping movement towards smoke
free air policies. Many companies and organizations have adopted smoke free policies voluntarily to protect workers and customers from the proven dangers of secondhand smoke. Other companies have created smoke free workplaces to comply with existing laws, such as the Clean Air Act.
Companies that have gone smoke free have found that these policies save money as
well as lives. The policies also improve worker satisfaction and the company's public image. While there is no "one-size-fits-all" plan for going smoke free, the American Lung Association can assist in developing, evaluating, strengthening, and implementation of comprehensive policies.

The Four Advantages of Offering Health and Wellness Benefits to Employees
Forbes: July 2018
According to recent
reports, the nation's unemployment rate is at a historic low. This is creating a new normal where corporate America's job opening demands can outweigh the candidate supply. The fact is that for the first time in years, the nation's multi-generational workforce is in the driver's seat -- and in my experience, health and medical benefits are weighted equally with salary requirements. This is why I tell small businesses looking to grow that it is critical they embrace health and wellness benefits to recruit and retain top talent.
