Engaging and Empowering Your Medicare-Eligible Employees

Medicare is different from choosing health insurance from an employer-sponsored plan.  Medicare and the plans that go with it can be confusing and stressful.  Whether your Medicare-eligible employee decides to retire at age 65 or continue working past age 65, Medicare-eligible employees pose HR challenges. 

Learning Objectives:

1. Develop a clear understanding of the basics of Medicare.

2. Understand the role of HR and the Medicare-Eligible employee.

3. Develop strategies for HR to implement that positively impacts your organization
