Benefits Administration During the Health Care Reform Debate
As Washington grinds toward an overhaul of the nation’s health care delivery system, employees who participate in health plans offered by their workplace are understandably anxious over what changes may be ahead and how they will be affected. The role that employers play in organizing health coverage has been a central discussion point during the debate.
We are hearing from human resource professionals that they are unsure how to engage their workforce about the topic and whether waiting until something is signed into law is too late. Among other things, we’ve been asked:
- How does the HR team talk with the workforce about company provided health benefits when there is so much uncertainty regarding what, if any, changes are coming?
- Should HR address the issue with the workforce proactively even if all that can be said is that the debate in Washington is being monitored closely?
- Should any assurance be made to employees that they will be kept whole with respect to coverage?
- Are there steps that can be taken now to lessen any administrative disruption that may result from any reforms?
Covering your own experience as a case study would be most instructive. Successful nominations should be able to present the lessons learned, the outcomes that were anticipated and actually achieved, and the solutions that have resulted in a positive experience for management and the workforce regarding possible changes to the organization’s health care plans.
What else you should know:
HR professionals from medium to large companies would be most suitable, but we’ll consider exceptional thought leaders, executive coaches and consultants also.
