With ROI expectations higher than ever, the task of designing and implementing benefits plans involves walking a tightrope of competing interests. Responding to regulatory, legal, demographic and executive demands in the scope of plan design can be daunting, but the satisfaction of delivering a comprehensive and responsive benefits platform cannot be rivaled. This workshop is a two-part, highly interactive learning experience. In Part 1, you will explore benefits plan design and implementation, reinforcing your knowledge of benefits principles and law through themes such as the multigenerational workforce, well-being program management and development of a company's benefits mission statement. Then, in Part 2, you will immediately apply this knowledge to hypothetical situations in a team-based competition of strategy and tactics related to benefits plan design and implementation. The result of this two-part process is the reinforcement of a working knowledge of plan design schematics, built upon the practical experiences of conflict resolution and mitigation of impediments to total rewards implementation.
