The 50-minute WebMingle on October 16th, the milestone 40th in our WebMingle series, featured Chuck Busse, President of Benesytes, a benefits communication provider. The HR Weasel also made another great appearance providing for some entertainment. Chuck has great insight and passion around online benefit communications, portals, and total reward statements. We touched on a number of issues related to that including: 

  • Insights from the recent HR Tech Conference in Chicago
  • Where “A Recruiting Edge” fits in the Human Capital Management spectrum
  • How employers currently communication important benefit information
  • What is involved in Benesystes creating a portal for their customers
  • Total Rewards Statements
  • Integrating with ATS and Onboarding systems
  • …and more

We also had another appearance in our studios from the HR Weasel, who has become a regular on our show. He noticed the fish on the Benesystes web site as part of their marketing campaign and wanted to talk about fishing. It was a great conversation and we also learned that he will be leaving for a  new job in a new building so we hope that he will call in on future shows.
