Top 5 Employee Benefits Headlines From 2018

Each month on Talking Benefits, I join Julie Stich, Kelli Kolsrud and Justin Held, International Foundation benefits nerdthusiasts, to discuss a trending employee benefits topic we think our listeners want to know more about. 

As 2018 comes to a close, my co-hosts and I reflect on the benefits news stories gaining the most traction throughout the year. Did ACA make the list? What about the Conflict of Interest rule? You’ll have to listen to find out.

The podcast team also revealed predictions for 2019 with an official “watch list.” Click play (or better yet, subscribe!) to find out what made the cut and what the Civil War has to do with a new retirement bill (plus geography lessons and incredibly bad puns). 

Whether you listen while wrapping presents, on one of your last commutes before taking a holiday break, or gathered around a crackling fire in the company of your friends and family (okay, please spare everyone that last option!), I hope you find the last Talking Benefits episode of 2018 an informative and helpful recap of past, present and future changes impacting the benefits industry.
