Specialized Employee Benefits Administration Training Benefits Breakdown
Edmonton’s Benefit Strategies Inc. offers a one-day Employee Benefits Administration Training Course.
Over the past three decades, the benefits advisors at Benefit Strategies Inc. have had the pleasure of working with hundreds of businesses across Alberta and western Canada. Time and time again we have identified many of the common challenges, legal liabilities, and knowledge gaps encountered by many employee benefits plan administrators.
Until now, resources for employee benefits administration training were either incomplete or insufficient in scope. So, we decided to do something to change that.
