2010 Continuing Education Exam - Meeting the Needs of Members
Based on member requests and feedback, the Society is pleased to introduce some exciting new changes to the 2010 Continuing Education course, making it even more relevant and focused on your professional development needs.
What’s New for 2010?
Do you specialize in just one area? Short on time or training dollars? The course and exam are now separated into two distinct tracks – health and retirement. You can choose the one that best represents your specialty or interest – or take them both for the complete package. Dividing the course gives you more flexibility in how you spend your professional development time – and budget.

ISCEBS/Deloitte Top 5 Total Rewards Priorities Survey Results
Total Rewards priority survey results show employees take action to curb concerns over financial and job security – Deloitte/ISCEBS 16th Annual Top Five Survey
New research reveals employees, motivated by concerns related to money and job security, are taking action to get their financial houses in order while increasingly participating in wellness and disease management programs. At the same time, faced with rising health care costs year after year, employers are stepping up emphasis on disease management and wellness programs designed to reduce costs.
This alignment of interests between employer and employee is the strongest in Deloitte’s survey series to date and points to a shared focus on health, responsibility, and cost reduction – that could benefit both in the long-term.

Employers Anxious About Retiree Medical Promises: ISCEBS/Towers Perrin Survey Findings
A weak economy and uncertainty about the direction, timing, or impact of national health care reform have plan sponsors in a quandary as to how to address the rising cost and continuing administrative burden of their retiree medical plans. These findings are from a new survey from ISCEBS and Towers Perrin. The survey also revealed a sense of urgency about the need to make changes to costly retiree medical plans, an urgency compounded by the historical lack of marketplace solutions for pre-Medicare retirees, creating further anxiety among plan sponsors.
The joint nationwide survey conducted by Towers Perrin and the International Society of Certified Employee Benefit Specialists, now in its fifth year, drew responses from 155 organizations on issues and objectives influencing retiree medical strategy and design.
