Lead Story
RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Wal-Mart Suit Hits 401(k) Fees
By Mark Bruno
A lawsuit argues that the plan sponsored by the country’s largest private employer used retail funds rather than institutional ones, and had too many active funds. It’s the most recent in a string of such cases, and benefits attorneys note that until there are definitive rulings in these cases, more large companies will likely be hit.

Looking Through Health Care Transparency
Recent years have witnessed important efforts to provide more and better cost and quality information to health care consumers—but promoting value in health care requires more than just transparency. Consumers need user-friendly access to all the information that matters—and some compelling reasons to use it.

Tools and Resources


Why you won't be working from home.
A large body of examples of how organizations have modified hours, conducted training, and altered their facilities to reduce fatigue.
Recruiters want to sell the company, including its benefits programs, and they need to build rapport with candidates by responding to their concerns. But they must not engage in conversation that might reveal information about the candidate’s health.
Open enrollment is an opportunity to showcase for workers how well the company is taking care of them, according to benefits and health care experts. And it's an opportune time not only to educate workers about how to choose coverage wisely, but also to be sure that they know doing so can preserve their health and perhaps save them (and the company) money.

Dear Workforce

A question-and-answer newsletter addressing some of the most common and most obscure HR. Ask a question about whatever's important to you—whether it's HR, recruiting, benefits, compensation, or training

Properly measuring performance indicates areas in which improvements are made, and gives executives a grasp on the connection between rewards and employee achievement. Remember, however, that performance measures in a rewards program should link to your overall business strategy.

Leading the Way in HealthCare Benefits
Special Advertising Section: Nobody has a clear vision of tomorrow's healthcare landscape; and yet, your company needs to lock down its benefits strategy today. How can you best prepare for the future while delivering quality coverage now? Consider these strategies for success.


Special Reports


Like any high-deductible insurance plan, a consumer-driven one lowers employer costs by only a modest amount. If employers want more, they’ll have to overhaul plan design to win workers over—and force providers to live up to their promises.
