This Week
A short Friday read — the hardest-hitting stories across Money, Body, Mind, and Nebraska policy, in plain English with why each one matters.
Employers face a critical period of budgeting and open enrollment
I read more benefits, HR, and workplace-health news than any one person should. So I built this — a single place to keep everything I'm reading and learning through the week, instead of letting the good stuff disappear into a hundred open tabs.
Every Friday I pull together the handful of stories that actually matter, explain why in plain English, and drop in every link I vetted along the way so you can go deeper wherever it's relevant to you. And because I want to keep you in the loop on everything happening at USI, I keep the upcoming webinars and events right here too.
