Communicating Through Confusion: Equifax Workforce Solutions Spotlights Thought Leadership at Workforce Focus Event

ATLANTA, Nov. 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --

DETAILS:As regulations surrounding the Affordable Care Act (ACA) continue to unfold, organizations are tasked with keeping up on the latest requirements and communicating necessary information to their employees. With so many changes that impact employees, including more benefits options, new tax forms, and potential penalties for failure to obtain coverage, organizations need to think strategically about ways to execute employee education and communications.

During Workforce Focus, David Seifert, director, Product Strategy for Equifax Workforce Solutions, will lead a panel discussion describing helpful ways organizations can communicate employee benefits, despite a proliferation of new options and regulations. Joining Seifert will be Kelley Butler, editorial director for Benz Communications, Sandi Stein, global head of Benefits for Brown Brothers Harriman, and Samantha Verratti, benefits manager for F.W. Webb Company. Through their conversation, Seifert and the panel will consider how ongoing legislative changes and evolving technologies continue to impact benefits communications and are critical to keeping employees informed. Session attendees will hear real-life examples about companies using technology combined with storytelling and other techniques to streamline their benefits communications and ensure employees remain engaged.

"With the ever-changing nature of the benefits landscape, employee education is critical and this forum provides best practices from industry peers and leading experts," says Mike Psenka, senior vice president of Workforce Analytics at Equifax Workforce Solutions. "Equifax is excited to participate in the inaugural Workforce Focus event to facilitate the discussion of such critical information related to employer-sponsored benefits."
