Health care is always changing. It’s important to keep up with the trends – to not only ensure you’re remaining compliant but also to help control health care costs. Having an attractive benefits program is essential to recruiting and retaining the best talent for your company, not to mention being competitive and economical. So how do you know how your benefits compare?

OSHA has issued a final rule to protect workers from exposure to respirable crystalline silica. It is comprised of one standard for Construction and one for General Industry and Maritime.

With the constant evolution of human capital, it is imperative that employees, and leaders, are engaged at all levels. Have you enabled a culture that makes your team wake up in the morning and look forward to coming to work? Or are they simply collecting a paycheck?

There is no doubt that change and innovation are happening at a faster pace than ever before, in nearly all sectors of the economy. This is certainly true for workplace wellness. In fact, no one is even calling it “wellness” anymore—it’s wellbeing. Wellness is booming—it’s a billion dollar industry. With all of this investment, one might expect impressive results. But in reality, wellness in the workplace is at best, a break-even proposition.

Moving beyond the status quo can no longer be cliché…it has to become reality.
