Society emails provide a wealth of information on national and chapter news, events and updates. One of the best ways to ensure you are receiving Society emails is through whitelisting. Whitelisting is the process of adding a company's information to a list of acceptable contacts, making those company's emails more likely to be delivered to your inbox. Our whitelisting page gives more information on whitelisting Society emails on both the server and desktop level. Please contact us at iscebs@iscebs.org if you have any further questions about this process.
For the second year, ISCEBS has partnered with Aegis Risk to offer the 2008 Aegis Risk Medical Stop Loss Premium Survey. You are invited to participate in the only survey focused exclusively on medical stop loss – an increasingly costly component of self-funded medical plans. Participate today through secure online submission. Submission takes only a few minutes. All respondents will receive a copy of the survey, scheduled for release in early September – just in time for use in your 2009 renewals. Talent Trumps Cost: Findings of 14th Annual Deloitte/ISCEBS Top 5 Rewards Priorities Survey Although the cost of health care and other rewards remains a high priority, finding and retaining talent has edged out mounting health care costs as a top employer concern. In response to both challenges, employers are accelerating recent efforts to equip and motivate employees by customizing total rewards packages to meet their individual needs. Those and other findings from the 14th annual Top Five Total Rewards Priorities survey, sponsored jointly by Deloitte Consulting LLP and the International Society of Certified Employee Benefit Specialists, point to increasingly sophisticated efforts to harness the potential of thoughtfully designed total rewards programs to complement and help drive organizational strategy and goals. Read the press release and complete survey findings, describing respondents' five most significant rewards concerns and how they plan to address them. Other survey findings are available on the Survey page. |
