Understanding the Impact of PPACA

The next few years will likely be the most demanding for benefits professionals as Health Care Reform introduces many new compliance challenges. You need to ensure that your plans comply with all the new reporting requirements. You can also expect to manage new technologies and systems for accessing benefits for all employees. Decisions regarding benefits and the financial consequences of those options are complex and require up-to-date research on all aspects of legislation and plan options.

Resolving Workplace Conflict

Today’s business environment challenges organizations to increase productivity, improve quality, shorten cycle time, and reduce costs. An unfortunate but natural byproduct of these challenges is conflict. While conflict can lead to discoveries such as new ideas and innovative breakthroughs, it can, if allowed to escalate, result in damage to critical working relationships.

This course teaches leaders how to recognize the signs of escalating conflict and take appropriate action to minimize damage. Leaders are introduced to two resolution tactics—coach and mediate—and practice using the Interaction Essentials as they coach then mediate to resolve a conflict.
