| | | This week has been a relatively quiet one because Congress has been home for the week. However, we still have a few items to keep you up to-date. | | Jul 2, 2009 | |
| | | In my avid reading of multiple blogs, I have come across an entry format that seems appropriate for this week. It's called a "tab dump" and it's a collection of interesting articles and reports the author has come across. | | Jul 1, 2009 | |
| | | An event related to Total Rewards took place last week that I think merits noting: AARP's forum through its Divided We Fail campaign, "Retirement Realities: Examining the Economic Downturn's Impact on Savings from the Employer and Employee Perspectives." | | Jun 30, 2009 | |
| | | Good Monday morning readers! As Cara mentioned on Friday, this week marks the 4th of July recess in Congress, and a contentious vote on climate change legislation seems to have shifted the focus of the media spotlight away from health care reform for the beginning of the break. | | Jun 29, 2009 | |
| | | In a week filled with sad and shocking news, it is almost a relief to focus on the ongoing chaos that is Congress' and the administration's efforts on key total rewards public policy issues. | | Jun 26, 2009 | |
| | | When one is a public policy wonk, Washington, D.C. is the place to be to pick up little-reported (at least in mainstream media) intelligence. Today was such a day, when I attended Roll Call's Policy Breakfast on Health Care. Senator Kent Conrad, from my home state of North Dakota, gave the keynote for the event; the panel following him included Karen Ignagni of the America¿s Health Insurance Plans, Lynne Fagnani of the National Association of Public Hospitals and Health Systems, and Atul Grover of the Association of American Medical Colleges. | | Jun 25, 2009 | |
| | | Last week the EEOC held a public meeting about the ADA Amendments Act that was passed last congress and how EEOC regulations should be updated to reflect those changes. At the meeting, they announced a proposed Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM). This is where they announce what they are planning on publishing as a proposed rule before they actually publish the proposed rule, so forgive me if that sounds redundant. | | Jun 24, 2009 | |
| | | A number of people have asked whether WorldatWork is planning to do a side-by-side comparison of the various health care reform plans winding their way through Congress. The answer is no not yet, and yes. "No" because the various plans are in flux and therefore it's futile to project whether a particular proposal will include language on various concepts. "Yes" because once bill language has been drafted, and a clear comparison between versions can be made, we'll provide comparisons. | | Jun 23, 2009 | |
| | | Good Monday morning readers! Although Congress is slowing the pace on health care reform, it's more than making up for it by jumping on board with Pres. Obama's calls for financial regulatory reform. | | Jun 22, 2009 | |
