For many people, saying no can be tough, especially for someone in a position of authority. We’re hard-wired as humans to want to fit in and conform to those around us, and this can result in a hesitation to say no to others.  

Those of us with people-pleasing tendencies are familiar with their predispositions to be a “yes” person. But even those who don’t consider themselves people-pleasers may still find it difficult to refuse a request. It’s uncomfortable, and sometimes it feels like you’re letting people down. Learning how to say no when it matters can make everyone’s lives much easier, both in everyday relationships and in the workplace.   Read more

Picture this: You walk into your office and see lifeless faces, hollow eyes, and shuffling movements. It’s like a scene from a zombie movie. But these aren’t undead creatures; they’re your employees.

What’s driving this atmosphere? Fear.

Fear is both a powerful motivator and a double-edged sword. While it might drive short-term results, fear leaves employees less likely to take risks, innovate, or speak up—because they’re always on red alert. This type of culture can bring growth and potential to a halt. Read more

In a world where a single tweet can swing customer opinions, ensuring every part of your company is in sync is more than a nice-to-have—it’s a must. 

One of the more pervasive challenges organizations face today is the tendency for teams to operate in silos. This results in missing key opportunities to streamline operations and enhance the customer experience.

So, how do you ensure your customer’s journey isn’t just good but great? Start by tearing down internal silos and creating intentional spaces for collaboration between teams. It’s vital to break down every phase of your customer’s journey, from the first hello to the final thank-you, ensuring everyone is on the same page.

Diving into the World of Mental Health Parity Compliance

You’ve heard all the buzz around mental health parity rules and enforcement. But what is it all about?

Join us for a deep dive into the world of mental health parity compliance, including:

  • How we got here
  • What both types of analyses entail
  • Who is subject to the rules
  • Strategies going forward for your plan

Learn how the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act and subsequent additional rules in the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 have changed plan-sponsor requirements.

Employer-sponsored health plans are required to conduct mental health parity analyses on their health plans to ensure that more restrictive limitations are not being placed on mental health and substance use disorder benefits than they are on medical/surgical benefits. These analyses come in two flavors, non-quantitative treatment limitations analyses and quantitative treatment limitations analyses. Every plan needs detailed reports on hand to show how it meets these requirements, especially if they come under audit.
