SUMMARY:Attracting & Captivating Diverse Talent Through Benefits Equity
DESCRIPTION:Nearly half of the U.S. population has employment based health insurance coverage. Thus employers are critical in helping to close the health equity gap by creating quality access to health services and promoting health literacy. \nEmployee Benefits can be a key deciding factor for potential employees who are choosing their next workplace and a morale booster for existing employees\, especially those who identify as Black\, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC). However\, organizations that do not provide equity and education through benefits offerings\, will fall short of decreasing the disparity of health outcomes for BIPOC employees and their families. \nIn this presentation\, attendees will learn:\n \n\nWhat are the 5 Social Determinants of Health (SDOH).\nWhy Employee Benefits Equity must be a key area of focus within a DE&I strategy\nHow to create policies and practices that support health access and literacy.

SUMMARY:Life Science Across the Globe
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Life Science Across the Globe\, a virtual series that brings together scientists and scholars around the world. \nBorne out of the global disruption of COVID-19\, Life Science Across the Globe was first launched in July 2020 by Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Research Campus along with seven other partnering sister institutes listed below. The original weekly series featured a science talk paired with a science culture talk (archived talks can be found here). \nRecognizing the continued need for international science communication\, the eight sister institutes now offer a reimagined Life Science Across the Globe series. Each month\, we identify an important science or science culture theme and bring together two or three speakers from different parts of the world to present their work or thoughts on that theme. The talks\, which are aimed at a broad audience\, are followed by a moderated panel discussion and audience questions.

SUMMARY:New Mental Health Parity Requirements for Group Health Plans
DESCRIPTION:Mental health parity rules have been around for over a decade\, but it appears that federal regulators are increasingly focused on compliance with the Mental Health Parity and Addition Equity Act (MHPEA). The Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (CAA) modified and enhanced the mental health parity compliance rules\, which became effective February 10\, 2021. These changes affect most group health plans\, with the heaviest compliance burden felt by self-funded plans. Please join us to learn more about these requirements and how they impact employer-sponsored group health plans. The session is limited to 500 participants; if you cannot make it or if it fills up\, the session will be recorded and the slides and webinar recording will be emailed to all registrants.
