    A Fiduciary Approach to Your Health Plan

    In this episode we're talking to Chelsea Ryckis, President of Ethos Benefits on what it means to view your health plan through the eyes of a fiduciary and how that perspective could lead to savings and improved benefits for your employees. Chelsea presented on this topic at the 2024 International Society of Certified Employee Benefit Specialists Symposium. Hear many other great presentations like hers at this year’s Symposium! https://www.iscebs.org/symposium Check out Chelsea’s own podcast from Ethos Benefits: https://businessofbenefitspodcast.com/ Don't forget - if you manage an ERISA plan, you're legally required to think (and act!) like a fiduciary. The International Foundation has your back with everything you need to know about your fiduciary duties in one easy-to-understand e-learning course. It's a great option to learn about your duties for the first time or brush up on them: https://www.ifebp.org/education---events/virtual-education-and-webcasts/e-learning-course/e-learning-courses/fiduciary-responsibility-for-erisa-plans
