The monumental change – and opportunity – presented by the Affordable Care Act was a recurring theme at this year’s Workplace Benefits Summit.
“I don’t believe that we’ve ever seen the potential of a change to how benefits are offered and administered in the United States as significant as what we’re witnessing today,” said Teresa White, executive vice president and chief operating officer with Aflac Columbus, during her keynote speech. “That’s why this year is very crucial for all of us. The decisions that we make now, and the actions that we take in implementing, educating and communicating all of the changes will have a long lasting impact in all of our organizations.”
