Employee Benefits Manager Certification

Employee Benefits Compliance Does Not Stop at Open Enrollment

Employee benefits management goes far beyond open enrollment it’s a continuous effort that directly impacts compliance, cost control, and employee satisfaction. HR professionals must navigate evolving regulations, streamline administrative processes, and design competitive benefits packages that align with both employee needs and company goals. Without the right strategy, organizations risk legal pitfalls, financial strain, and talent loss in an increasingly competitive job market.

From expanded HSA and telehealth access to higher dependent care limits, larger childcare credits, permanent student loan repayment benefits, new family savings accounts, and lasting paid leave credits, the BBB is reshaping the benefits landscape. This course gives you the knowledge and tools to not just keep up, but get ahead.

Led by Dennis Hartin, a nationally recognized benefits expert, Health Rosetta Advisor, and published author, our Employee Benefits Manager Certification gives you exclusive access to five expert-led sessions covering compliance, benefits optimization, and best practices. With over 25 years of experience managing multi-million-dollar benefits programs, Dennis brings real-world insights to help you confidently implement BBB changes while mastering year-round benefits management.
