Some of us might see health care as a strategic benefit to our employees, some of us might be concerned about the increasingly complex administrative and legislative frameworks and some of us might be worried about the continuous increase in cost.  No matter the perspective, health care offering is and will continue to play a role in our employee's value proposition. 

In this session with Nick Loporcaro we are taking a strategic look at healthcare in general.  How does the industry work at high level?  What are market dynamics disrupting this massive and interwoven field of providers?  What are key drivers for cost management and how employers can control them?  How is value-based care affecting the market?  And how are legislative issues impacting us in the future? 

Nick Loporcaro is the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Landmark Health. Landmark Health and its affiliated medical groups (Landmark) deliver comprehensive in-home medical care to frail and chronically ill patients throughout the U.S.  Nick is very knowledgeable about trends and the future of healthcare and is passionate about helping others to understand how to optimize benefits in this space.

In this session, Dave will reflect on how his research has led to his most recent thinking and the journey ahead for HR leaders.  He will talk about specific ways of thinking and acting to reinvent HR.  Dave will challenge your thinking as CHRO’s/VP’s HR in how you create long term value to your organization, and you will walk away with some concrete ideas on using your own and your organizations capabilities.

"Benchmarking"

"Talent Management"

Virtual Zoom Meeting

Virtual Zoom Meeting

Virtual Zoom Meeting

In 2021, our first Roundtable about trends in labor law was very well received and our members requested to organize a similar session in the beginning of 2022.  What is on the legal horizon in the area of COVID?  Will the Biden Administration plan a major legislative agenda in the second year in Office?  Any changes expected in the area of labor negotiations?  Join us for this interactive session with our legal expert.  If you  have specific questions about upcoming legislation, please send your question to Hang Bower, so our speaker can tailor this session to your needs.

The 2020 and 2021 Roundtables on "Benchmarking" was highly successful.  Through live polling, we got instant feedback around critical topics (at the time, COVID response and work flexibility) and we had very engaged follow up discussions.  We want to repeat this session as many members told us this format is beneficial.  Who knows what the critical topics are in March (still COVID?), but for this session we promise you, we will ask timely and relevant polling questions and give our members the opportunity to interact and benchmark their decisions, processes, initiatives etc.   

This roundtable will focus on Talent Management.  We leave the specific topic open so we can be timely and respond to the latest interests of our members.  We will reach out to you in April to get insights of what would be of benefit to you.  Is the "Great Resignation" still in full swing and keeping you awake?  Is the tight job market still and issue?  Is your culture resilient enough to keep talent?  We look forward to giving this session content closer to our Roundtable date in May!
