MSEC, with its partner Futuro Sólido, will present a FREE webinar April 21 from 9a.m.– 10a.m. AZ time

to provide you with solutions to this challenging issue.

There is no off-the-shelf program available to employers because different organizations have different goals, priorities, and benefits strategies. This webinar describes the challenges an

employer may face in getting employees on board with their benefits, and in ensuring that employees know what they are getting. It will also provide some strategic solutions, including do’s and don’ts in communicating benefits and the new legal changes to Spanish-speaking employees.

The importance of explaining the individual mandate will be discussed.

This portion of the webinar will take about 45 minutes, and we will conclude with 15 minutes for questions.

To register for The Affordable Care Act and Your Spanish-Speaking Employees webinar go to MSEC.org or call 800.437.9262.
