With the fast-evolving advent of Social Media and Social Networking many companies are unprepared for the legal and ethical pitfalls this new boom has created. Never before has the ability been so great then today to access personal as well as public information. What are the ground rules, if any? Where do we put limits and create policies to manage the landmines ‘private’ information can create if used inappropriately? How do you keep yourself safe and in compliance? When can you use social media-driven information with your own employees and in hiring new ones? This is a must for all business owners, executives, hiring managers, and HR types.

3) 2009 UBA National Health Plan Survey – How does your benefits program stack up?

Nov 10 - 02:30 PM

Moderated by: Dennis Passovoy, President, RFG, Inc., Shannon Scott, Director of Client Services, RFG, Inc., Kathy Phillips, Director of Client Services, RFG, Inc.

There’s an old saying that you can’t manage what you don’t measure.  Add to that the question of why do you supply your employees with a benefits program in the first place?  In today’s challenging economy, providing the most cost-effective, yet comprehensive benefits program, can lead to a more secure, satisfied and productive workforce.  Knowing what your competitors provide their employees with is invaluable information.

This session will reveal some of the results of the largest national health plan and opinion surveys conducted in the U.S. today.  With responses from 17,655 health plans sponsored by 12,316 employers nationwide, the 2009 UBA Health Plan Survey, along with its companion opinion survey - 2009 UBA Employer Benefit Perspectives, are the nation’s largest and most comprehensive surveys of plan design, plan costs, and forward-looking opinions.  As the largest survey of its kind, the UBA Health Plan Survey defines benchmarks by a greater number of specific industries, regions, and employer size categories than is available from any other resource.
