Anyone see the movie ‘2012’? It’s a visually impressive, although somewhat distressing, popcorn flick that plays out some of the existing theories that predict the end of the world as we know it in December 2012.

I’m still high on girl power from watching Kathryn Bigelow’s historic Oscar win on Sunday, so today’s post will focus on the pay gap and how you can and should help shrink it.

While we all start to sit down, our broker tries to put us at ease by cracking a few jokes. No matter how funny the humor, it doesn’t overshadow reinsurance renewal time for our self-insured plan.
