“Newness” and “Nextness” was the core message from the keynote speaker Jason Averbook at this year’s HRMS Strategies Conference where HR and benefits administration stakeholders gathered to network and talk about HR technology solutions. Jason’s call to the industry was to reinvent because everything we know today is “dead.”
Gruppo Marcucci was there—not only to stay on top of the latest and greatest but also to present on the growing number of tools to engage and help employees choose the right plan, and also to help them use their plan. Following are a few of our favorite conference take-a-ways, interspersed with our own thoughts.
We found the IHRIM HRMS Strategies Conference to be a bit light in the Benefits arena and are advocating expansion of this program area—particularly in light of all that’s going on with ACA and private exchanges. Regardless, we heard a number of insightful speakers and caught up with the ever-evolving pool of service providers and products.
Our final take-a-away: the best advice we heard (thanks to relationship gurus Patrick Crane of Jeitosa and Nicole Radil of MasterCard) is worth sharing!
To Consultants: Don’t try to be something you’re not.
To Clients: Be Nice! You’ll get better consulting.
Words we should all strive to live by in this industry!
