ERISA requires private sector employers to provide a summary plan description (SPD) to employees participating in the employer’s welfare benefit plans. Many non-ERISA plans also find it beneficial to provide a SPD. Attendees will learn why compliance with the SPD requirements is important, the most important content and distribution requirements for welfare benefit plan SPDs, and practical tips for compliance.

With four generations of employees in our modern-day workforce, organizations face a growing management challenge. Each generation has a unique set of values, communication styles and motivational drivers which need to be influenced and managed to drive desired business results.

On average, companies with strategic plans see a greater market share and can realize up to 36% more earnings than those without a plan. Business owners need a clear and focused strategic plan that captures the essence of what makes them different in the marketplace. The right plan spells out how they will build on those strengths to realize their greatest potential and success.
A staggering 95% of business owners struggle to execute their strategies successfully.
Come take the first step toward creating and executing a plan that will deliver results faster than you might think. Our upcoming two-hour seminar will empower you with a great tool that
actually works for small business owners. You will learn:
• How to use the one page strategic plan format that’s been effectively used by
thousands of small businesses
• How to base that plan on the unique purpose, values and strengths of your business so it inspires action that supports your vision for the future
• How to simplify the definition of priorities and plans so there is focus on the improvements that will make a meaningful difference
• The basic habits necessary to execute and refine the plan on an ongoing basis so you deliver the results you need
• How to move from planning to action quickly as you follow a clear, effective, and common-sense process

He has been at the forefront of technological change in the theatre industry, particularly the transition to high-definition digital presentation, deployment of two of the world’s first four “4K” Texas Instruments/Christie digital projectors at Emagine Royal Oak and by initiating its premium large format concept, the E-Max Experience, and by introducing Dolby’s revolutionary Atmos sound systems to the Michigan marketplace.
Glantz holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration with High Distinction from Wayne State University and a Master’s Degree in Taxation from Walsh College. He has been recognized by Wayne State’s Business School by awarding him its Distinguished Alumnus Award, by the State’s Irvin D. Reid Honors College naming him as one of its first ever “Pillar Award” recipients, by Ernst & Young as Michigan and Northwest Ohio Entrepreneur of the Year and by Walsh College with the Distinguished Alumnus Award.
