Now leave rights will be granted to individuals who assume parental responsibilities such as providing day-to-day care or financial support for a child, regardless of whether there is a biological or legal relationship between the individual and the child. Read on to learn further details on what the rights entail and what this clarification means for Employers.

Agencies Issue Guidance on Health Reform Provisions
Recently the Departments of Health and Human Services, Treasury and Labor released an additional guidance package on important provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). After issuing rules regarding the extension of coverage to adult children and the maintenance or loss of “grandfathered plan” status, the agencies provided final regulations on many of the provisions of PPACA resulting in many questions from employers regarding group health plans and health insurance issuers. Read on to see an explanation of these new rules as well as coverage of preexisting condition exclusions, rescissions, annual and lifetime limits on benefits, certain patient protection provisions and more.

Employers Reshaping Talent Management Programs as Economy Shifts Toward Growth
As the economy starts to rebound from the recent recessionary period, employers are looking to revamp their talent management programs with the idea that the coming months will bring greater competition for key talent as companies start to hire. Jason Jeffay explains, “It’s a different business environment now. We’re looking ahead to a period of positive but slower growth, which translates into different talent needs…the recession, through layoffs and reorganizations, damaged leadership pipelines. Organizations now need to be more concerned than ever about actively managing the entire leadership development and succession process.” Read on to learn interesting survey trends and what to expect in the coming months.
