Balancing cost control and employee well-being: our jobs as benefits professionals have never been more demanding. Spiraling healthcare costs and pension issues are just two of the external factors that add to the complexity of our work. We discuss:
- Defined contribution plans and issues surrounding 401(k) and 401(a)(9) plans
- Retiree medical challenges
- Consumer-driven health plans
Our candid conversations help us to stay abreast of what other organizations are doing in this dynamic area and give us specific tools for improving our own programs.

In today's fast rapidly changing work environment there are numerous communications on new, dazzling and different HR approaches. The Conference Board meetings bring many of these initiatives into a more realistic perspective. It seems like one of the members has tried everything. In both the meeting framework and the follow up networking, there is a tremendous opportunity to flesh out these ideas and determine whether they make sense for your organization.

Candidates for the Council should have major executive responsibility for the employee benefits function, or be the person the company and the Council considers most appropriate for participation on the Council. Membership is by invitation only.
