How do policymakers and employers handle demographic changes? \n\n Collaborations: Based on available resources\, what types of collaborations are employers\, educational institutions\, and other organizations willing to pursue? \n\n Training: How can employers retain institutional knowledge of retiring workers to transfer to new workers? How can employers improve training for existing workers that will lead to career advancement? \n\n Pipeline: How do ensure there is a stable pipeline of trained workers? What types of wrap-around services would help dislocated workers re-enter the workforce? \n\n Wages: From a policy/collaboration perspective\, how can we offset costs to spur wage growth? How can employees increase their opportunities to earn a higher wage? \n\n Following the breakout sessions\, we will report out our key findings and discuss next steps.

When we drill down into examining the tax-free benefits\, the extent to which they promote healthcare consumerism\, etc.\, they seem like a no-brainer! They can be good for your business\, good for your employees\, and great for your execs!! Why then do we still run into so much negativity and misperceptions so often whenever we mention high deductible health plans and health savings accounts here in upstate New York? This session\, intended for businesses of all sizes\, will review HSA basics\, how HSA positives easily outweigh the negatives\, and how to move beyond the negative perceptions to understanding and appreciation. \n\n11:00am – Event Concludes  \n  \nRegister to Attend\n  \nSponsored by: \n\n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\n  \n
