AUG. BX HR GROUP: Benefits Best Practices

 

From insurance coverage to 401(k) programs to incentives for program participation, HR professionals are faced with a variety of responsibilities when it comes to employee well-being.

The August BX HR Group roundtable, hosted by Mid-City Electric / Technologies, will allow HR professionals to share their best practices regarding employee benefits including health care, wellness programs, participation and the overall well-being of employees - physical, mental and financial. Group members in the benefit services space will answer questions and share their insight/expertise.

The BX HR Group gathers up to nine times each year for a mix of educational programs, peer discussions and social events. Employees of BX member firms who are human resources professionals - or who include HR among the many hats they wear - are invited to join this member’s only group.
