• Topic:  "Turning Benefits into a Competitive Advantage"
  
  How does your benefits strategy stack up against the competition? Is it helping you attract, retain, and support top talent while positioning your organization for growth?
  
  Join The Baldwin Group and NVSBC for an informative discussion on the evolving benefits landscape for government contractors. We'll explore key topics including benefit plan design, benchmarking, voluntary benefit trends, and the impact of fringe and wrap rate considerations on your overall strategy.
  
  We'll also examine benefits-related M&A considerations, including due diligence best practices and how employee benefit structures can influence company valuation. In addition, we'll review funding strategies such as fully insured, level-funded, self-funded, ICHRA, captive arrangements, and PEO models, including indicators that it may be time to transition away from a PEO.
  
  Gain practical insights to help your organization remain competitive, control costs, and align your benefits strategy with long-term business objectives.
