Open enrollment is one of the most consequential moments in the employee experience, and one of the most complex for employers to navigate. Beyond the annual enrollment window, it's a strategic opportunity to educate your workforce, manage rising costs, strengthen compliance, and demonstrate that your organization is invested in the people who power it. As benefit regulations continue to evolve, new technologies reshape decision-making, and employees demand more transparency and choice, the employers who prepare early are the ones who get it right. Join us for this practical, 60-minute session where we cut through the complexity and give you the insights, tools, and best practices you need to walk into open enrollment season with clarity and confidence, whether you're fine-tuning an existing strategy or building one from the ground up. By the end of this session, you will be able to: 1. Identify key health, welfare, and retirement plan updates that impact open enrollment, employee communications, and organizational compliance. 2. Evaluate strategies to manage benefit costs without sacrificing the employee experience or retirement savings opportunities. 3. Apply best practices for communicating benefits, leveraging emerging tools and technology, and preparing for upcoming regulatory requirements. What We'll Cover: Using open enrollment as a strategic lever for cost management and employee engagement. Dependent eligibility audits and how to communicate them effectively Electronic delivery requirements and employee notification best practices Forms 1095 distribution updates and open enrollment communication strategies Helping employees make informed decisions through education and price comparison tools The growing role of AI in benefits decision-making, what's here, what's coming, and what to watch GLP-1 medications and what employers need to consider for their sponsored health plans Wellness initiatives, tobacco cessation programs, and other proven cost-containment strategies Communicating voluntary benefits effectively without creating unintended employer endorsement SECURE 2.0 updates, including Roth catch-up contribution requirements and year-end amendment deadlines RSVP: https://keap.page/qjj577/webinar-registration.html?inf_contact_key=514bc06c7a10685855567e87738d24a0680f8914173f9191b1c0223e68310bb1

Weekly referral group for business owners in Wheeling and the northwest suburbs. Visitors welcome, first visit free. Most networking events are easy to forget. You meet a few people, trade business cards, and then everyone gets busy. BNI Wheeling is built around what happens after the introduction. The same local business owners meet every Wednesday, learn who each person serves, and look for real referrals they can pass. This is a structured business networking meeting in Wheeling, Illinois. Every person gets 60 seconds to explain what they do and the kind of customer they want to meet. Then the room shares referrals, introductions, and business opportunities. You are welcome to visit before making any decision. Sit in on the meeting. Meet the group. Watch the process. See whether it feels useful for your business. One business is represented in each category, so members are not competing with someone at the same table. Category availability changes as the group grows. Business owners and professionals from Wheeling, Buffalo Grove, Arlington Heights, Prospect Heights, Mount Prospect, and nearby northwest suburbs are welcome. Your first visit is free. Register so we know to expect you. Questions about category availability? Contact Jason Barrios - [email protected].
