Engaging employees
to drive global business success
Speakers: Paul
Sanchez and David Tong
In today’s
demanding global business environment, employers want not just
satisfied or committed employees, but ones who are truly engaged in
the work and mission of the organization. Why? Because engaged
employees feel a vested interest in their company’s success and are
willing and motivated to perform at levels that exceed the stated
job requirements.
Mercer understands what drives employee engagement – not just in one
country or location, but around the world. We have conducted
extensive research to capture and track employee perceptions in more
than 20 countries. These findings are included in Mercer’s new Point
of View paper, Engaging employees to drive global business success:
Insights from Mercer’s What’s Working™ research.
During this web briefing, we will discuss the research findings and
you will learn:
-
How
engagement drivers vary by national culture
-
Which four
factors contribute to engagement globally
-
How to
interpret your own employee research findings in the context of
national norms
-
How you can
guide your employees along a continuum to greater levels of
engagement

Looking under the
hood – Evaluating & managing vendor performance
Speakers:
Paula Barnes, RN, Susan Connolly, Dan Priga and Russell Robbins,
MD
In today's
complex health care environment, it is difficult to get a handle on
just how your health plan is performing from both clinical and
administrative perspectives. Nevertheless, evaluating these areas is
critical to managing your vendors' performance and getting the most
from your financial investment. To better understand performance
measurement, you need
to take a look under the hood, to both understand how programs are
operating and how they compare to best practices.
Please join Mercer
experts for a discussion of both new and proven methods of assessing
vendor performance. This web briefing will focus on what you can do
to identify process improvement opportunities through vendor audits,
operational assessments, pre/post-implementation assessments and
clinical evaluation of your plan's care management programs.
Who should attend?
Individuals responsible for the financial and clinical
management of health and welfare programs, as well as vendor
performance, internal audit and risk managers.

State health
reform
Speakers: Amy
Bergner, Blain Bos, Linda Havlin and Bob O'Brien
Over the past several years, the state legislatures in
Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont have produced landmark health care
legislation addressing uninsured residents. Many other state
legislatures have attempted to tackle the issue as well. The 2008
state legislative sessions hold the promise of further developments,
as many states established commissions in 2007 to study the issue
and report to their governors and legislatures for the 2008
sessions.
This web briefing will help you understand the implications of state
health reform for your employer-sponsored health plans. You will
learn:
-
Why this is an
important public policy issue
-
The various ways
states are attempting to solve the problem
-
The impacts of
the solutions on employer- sponsored plans, and other private
and public sector responses
In particular, if
you are a multistate employer concerned about potential
complications in the way you deliver health care benefits to your
employees in various states, this session will help you understand
the common threads as well as the other diverse ways states may
enter this debate and provide unique solutions.

often-conflicting messages from the SEC, such as the stated
desire for more detailed, but shorter and simpler, disclosure
-
Review potential
outcomes of the 2008 proxy season
-
Help you with
remaining issues you may be still wrestling with
We hope you can join us
