With health care costs continually climbing, employers are looking to consumer-driven plans to help soften the blow. Depending on the model, these plans typically include a tax-advantaged account and a high deductible health plan.  But what are the differences between these varying types of accounts?

Since our blog post early this morning, “Health Care Reform: Waiting for the Court’s Decision,” we got the answer we were eagerly anticipating.  The Supreme Court has finally spoken on health care reform, and has upheld most of the law. 

We’re proud to congratulate Goodwill of North Central Wisconsin for being recognized with the “Most Innovative Health & Benefits Plan” award by the Institute for HealthCare Consumerism!  This is a huge (and well deserved) honor.  Other companies recognized by the Institute (in other award categories) include large companies like Whole Foods, GE, Boeing and Chick-Fil-A.

As part of our HNI University series, we hosted a workshop last week called Engage the Troops and Get Out of the Way with Nancy Melcher, the architect of the GetMOR program. In this workshop, she offered her insight into the current gap between employee engagement and employee benefits and what employers can do to help bridge this divide.
