With Republicans now in charge of the House of Representatives and Democrats controlling the Senate and White House, the dynamics for legislative action have changed. The political landscape will dictate the process lawmakers must pursue to advance their agenda and that, in turn, will determine policy outcomes. While we should expect legislative gridlock, there will be opportunities for bipartisanship on select health, retirement and paid leave priorities. Additionally, much attention will now turn to the regulatory arena as a means of advancing employee benefit policy goals. This presentation will offer an opportunity to get an inside look at the factors that will shape the employee benefits agenda that in turn will have an impact on the daily work and long-term strategies of benefits professionals.
