12. Managing Presenteeism to Improve Employee Health and Productivity
We know that absenteeism, chronic non-attendance at work, undercuts the productivity of our workforce. A phenomenon that also substantially affects our workforce is presenteeism, employees who come to work but, because of their medical conditions work at lower levels of productivity. Research indicates that presenteeism dwarfs absenteeism costs and can lead to expensive and disruptive disability claims. Find out about the latest research and some of the steps that can be taken to address this often overlooked problem.

13. Generating Real Cost Savings from a Dependent Eligibility Audit
It’s no surprise to HR professionals that employers bear the brunt of
insurance costs. The Kaiser Family Foundation estimates that employers
cover 72% of the annual cost of health insurance for a family of four ($8,824)
and 84% of the average cost of single coverage ($3,785). With employers
spending a larger amount per employee per year, an audit pays for itself many
times over. Dependent audits allow employers to continue offering benefits
to eligible employees and help eliminate ineligible participants. Learn how
dependent audits can generate significant cost savings and what employers
should look for when conducting audits.

14. Around the World in 60 Minutes: Broaden Your Horizons with a
Review of International Benefits
Global business travelers and international assignees are often a small but
critical component of many successful businesses. This workshop provides
an overview of international health care benefits for employers with
occasional global business travelers, companies with existing permanent
global operations and companies that are starting to think about venturing
off shore. Learn about global trends in benefit and plan design, and explore
evolving product and service offerings in international health benefits that are geared toward the unique needs of the globally mobile employee. Find
out how the domestic drive toward consumer-driven health care and the

health care landscape. Whether you have a few overseas travelers, a global
workforce, or simply wish to get a glimpse of the international health care
scene, this session will be valuable to you.
