There are three developments that have made communicating benefits harder than ever:

• The increasing complexity of benefits, especially health benefits
• The general difficulty in getting anyone's attention
• The need to master multiple communications channels

Fortunately, there are new ideas and methods for communicating during the open enrollment period that will help you battle past these challenges.

This webinar will look at the thinking that lies behind successful open enrollment communication programs and shares some specific tips and techniques. Among the techniques we will explore are the use of video, social media, and “federated” creation of content. We can do better communication than ever, but we have to embrace the right tools and right mindset.

Employee well-being is a key to organizational success. Employers who support well-being stand to benefit from engaged employees who provide peak performances that drive sustainable success. Achieving well-being means understanding — and responding to — your individual workforce’s needs. Unlike index models currently in practice, the new well-being index from Horizons Workforce Consulting takes into account all principle well-being drivers, and results in a highly customized, data-driven resource that clears a path to pertinent, effective responses. Join this webinar to hear Lucy English and Andrea Wicks-Bowles, senior consultants with Horizons Workforce Consulting, discuss the value of and methodology for assessing your own workforce and understanding the results.

Do the demands of your career control your life? Have you decided that you just aren’t meant to “have it all”? The time is now to decide that your health and well-being must to be your #1 priority. In Scale the Ladder of Success without Self-Sabotage and Sacrifice, Jodi Krizer Graber will share her story of betrayal – how she misled herself into believing that “doing whatever it takes” to succeed meant giving up exercise and often sleep; working through meals and consuming sugar for energy; missing time with friends and family and focusing more on what others wanted and needed than her own values. The presentation will feature nurturing mindset practices and the reason you need to decide what you want and why you want it. Another key component of this presentation is the science behind the food-mood connection and why healthy eating is the cornerstone of success and satisfaction. If you are committed to living your best life, Scale the Ladder of Success without Self-Sabotage and Sacrifice will provide you with the foundation upon which you can set and achieve your B.E.S.T. life goals.
