This conference title is in reference to a movie from 1989. A lot has changed with movies since 1989. Probably even more has changed in HR! The landscape today has most employers struggling to fill positions and keep them filled. As an expert at Human Resources Consulting said, “In a competitive market where employees can go to almost any organization they like, culture, paid benefits, voluntary benefits, retirement benefits; every area that you can become better than your competitor at is an advantage. Employees can go anywhere they want right now for the pay they want. However, from a total compensation standpoint, you can jump ahead. Better benefits are crucial.”

Join us to hear:
1. What has been driving healthcare costs over the past 20+ years.
2. How has this impacted working families.
3. 3 strategies you can implement to begin controlling costs.
4. Real-life examples that have changed retention and recruitment for local employers.
