Redefining 'unemployment' to 're-employment' through benefits
February 1, 2012Like many of you, I watched last month as President Obama gave his third State of the Union address. While I'll leave the analysis of good-speech-bad-speech to the legion of pundits on network and cable news, one particular section of the president's remarks struck me.

A broad perspective
December 1, 2011Historically, wellness has been associated primarily with weight loss, and since many of us slip right into a food coma come Thanksgiving and don't emerge until multiple holiday parties have left us loosening a belt notch or two, it's no coincidence that EBA features our annual Wellness Challenge issue on the eve of resolution season

The one thing that's holding back your wellness program
December 1, 2011What is it? No, not your vending machine/cafeteria options. Not employee engagement (or lack thereof).

A pat on the back
September 1, 2011As a new mom with an 18-month-old and a one-month-old, I'm only beginning to scratch the surface of what it means to feel parental pride. However, I definitely experienced something akin to it as I was reading through the nomination forms for EBA's 2011 Employee Benefit Adviser of the Year.

Let's connect
August 1, 2011If there's one thing we're constantly striving for here at EBA it's an ever-strengthening connection to you, our audience of employee benefit professionals.

Experts' comments turn wellness CW on its ear
June 1, 2011For the last five years or so, the conventional wisdom on wellness programs is that health risk assessments and biometric screenings are the way to get the best data on employee health status, you have to juice participation by offering incentives, and you have to be prepared to spend a pretty penny to get tangible results.

Giving back
June 1, 2011Congratulations to long-time EBA columnists Mel Schlesinger and Jack Kwicien, who are assuming important leadership posts in the field.

Step Up!
May 1, 2011You're good at this business - everyone says so. But are you good enough to be the Employee Benefit Adviser of the Year?

Employers should model job recruiting after 'American Idol,' one blogger says
May 1, 2011I've been an avid watcher of "American Idol" since season one - no judgment, please - and although I mostly harken back for seasons past (I greatly miss ex-bully Brit judge Simon Cowell, and my favorite winner is original champ Kelly Clarkson), I'll be watching regardless when the show crowns its 10th winner later this month.

Carpe diem
April 1, 2011In case you missed these recent headlines:
"Health Care Brokers Fight for Fees" - Washington Post
"The Debate Over Brokers' Fees" - New York Times
"Brokers Seek to Preserve Role in Health Insurance Marketplace" - Kaiser Health News
The stories - and other recent media coverage - focus on efforts underway to push back against PPACA's medical loss ratio rules. At least as far as the popular media is concerned, broker commissions are big news right now.

Reality check
March 1, 2011On Capitol Hill the rubber has met the road on health reform. Last month saw three noteworthy attacks on PPACA. First the House passed the PPACA repeal bill that House Speaker John Boehner had promised. Then came the ruling by a federal district court judge in Florida that the entire law is unconstitutional. This was followed by passage in the Senate of a bill to repeal PPACA's widely disliked 1099 tax reporting burden.

EBN: Of, by and for benefits professionals
March 1, 2011As a native to the D.C. area, I've gotten a daily dose of patriotism my whole life from having so many of the nation's premier museums and monuments almost literally in my own backyard.
