Fundamentals of U.S. Health Care
October 29-31, 2024 | 11:00 am – 2:00 pm ET Daily | Virtual Workshop
Building robust benefit packages is one of the many ways employers set their organizations apart as desirable places to work, and health care benefits are often at the center of these offerings. This virtual interactive training workshop is designed for those who need to master the basics of employer-sponsored health care and its role in the employment value proposition.
What you'll learn: Explore the employer's role in the complex U.S. health care system and learn how to successfully navigate the changing public policy and innovation landscape to control costs and provide employees with high-value benefits.
Who should attend: CHROs and senior HR professionals who may not have a background in benefits, but need a fundamental understanding of the design and operation of employer-sponsored health care.
Delivered by world class practitioners and subject matter experts, this course is limited to 40 participants to maximize collaboration and learning. The workshop fills up quickly, so sign up today to take advantage of 2024 pricing while you still can!
