You can count on two things when it comes to employee benefits:

Your costs will probably go up year after year—and your employees will never understand how much you spend on them. Many workers take their benefits for granted, and some even mistakenly believe they're required by law to get them.

One recent national survey says the cost of benefits is one of the top three factors affecting the bottom lines of U.S. employers. Because benefits can be critical for attracting and retaining talent, you're always searching for ways to preserve (and even expand) your offerings to keep your workers happy. But you can't master what you don't measure, and many employers have no idea which benefits their employees truly want or value.

Join us on Nov. 16 for this practical 90-minute webinar on employee benefits trends in 2010, where you'll learn:

• How much your key employee benefits costs will rise in 2010—and what you can do to curb those price hikes
• What you can do now to rein in your health benefits costs, from introducing wellness programs to switching to consumer-driven health plans
• The newest non-health benefits options that you can roll out next year without breaking your budget
• How to audit your existing benefits and find benchmarks to see how you stack up against your peers and your competitors
• Best practices for soliciting honest, candid feedback from your employees about their benefits
• The steps you should follow in shopping around to identify the best benefits programs—and, when you find them, how to negotiate the best deals
• How to monitor the ongoing costs of your benefits programs and guard against surprises at renewal time
