SUMMARY:Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) – Atlanta: Virtual Workshop: Future-Ready\, Strategic Problem Solving
DESCRIPTION:The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) – Atlanta is hosting a Virtual Workshop: Future-Ready\, Strategic Problem Solving on Thursday\, August 13th\, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM. \nDisruption isn’t an occasional event anymore; it’s the new operating context. Leaders are making decisions amid constant uncertainty\, urgent competing priorities\, and shifting constraints. Today’s disruptive business environment drives a reflex to jump to solutions when challenges arise\, often addressing symptoms rather than root causes and leading teams to work hard on the wrong problems. Pragmatic Prospection—the ability to envision a future that does not yet exist and plan for it—is a critical leadership skill for strategic thinking and navigating complexity in this disruptive era. This workshop introduces a practical\, two-phase approach to applying prospection to real business challenges. Participants will practice the method\, assess their current prospection capabilities\, and identify strengths and opportunities. They will leave with a clear\, actionable framework to slow down\, learn from the past and present\, and make more deliberate\, future-oriented decisions—enabling stronger strategic planning and more sustainable outcomes. \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:National Association of Counties (NACo): Strategies for Sustainable Retiree Health Benefits
DESCRIPTION:The National Association of Counties (NACo) is hosting a webinar on Strategies for Sustainable Retiree Health Benefits on Thursday\, August 13th\, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM. \nThe Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) has fundamentally reshaped the Medicare landscape\, creating both opportunities and challenges for employers\, public sector organizations\, and pension funds that sponsor retiree health benefits. While retirees are benefiting from lower prescription drug costs and capped out-of-pocket spending\, plan sponsors are now facing significantly higher financial exposure — especially within Medicare Part D. This webinar will explore how the post-IRA environment is changing Group Medicare economics and what plan sponsors can do to protect both retiree outcomes and long-term fiscal sustainability. Attendees will gain insight into emerging cost pressures\, including rising healthcare utilization\, increased catastrophic drug liability\, and evolving CMS reimbursement dynamics. \nClick here to learn more and register.

SUMMARY:Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM): Health Plan Costs Driven by Plan Design and Vendor Relationships
DESCRIPTION:The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is hosting Health Plan Costs Driven by Plan Design and Vendor Relationships on Thursday\, August 13th\, starting at 2:00 PM. \nChronic diseases affect 6 in 10 American adults\, and 4 in 10 live with more than one of these conditions. Diabetes alone is an epidemic that drives 1 in 4 health care dollars spent\, and disease mismanagement drives these costs higher and productivity lower. Chronic diseases – and diabetes\, in particular – are significant cost drivers for health plans. Are companies inadvertently adding to these costs through their health plan design? What’s more\, are employers inadvertently exposing themselves to fiduciary liability exposure through these same design flaws? Attend this session for a panel discussion of these questions and more. \nClick here to learn more and register.
