More employers are looking at ICHRA as an alternative to a traditional group health plan, and on paper the math often works for both sides. The rollout is where it gets tricky.

Join IndySHRM on Wednesday, September 16 for "ICHRA Done Right, ICHRA Done Wrong" with Dylan Melling, Practice Manager at Integrity Benefit Partners.

Dylan will cover how to position an ICHRA as a genuine win for employees instead of a change that feels like a cost cut, the pitfalls that turn excitement into resentment, and how to manage the shift from a group plan without losing trust. He'll also walk through popular TPA and broker service models, including the pros and cons of each, and how to support employees not just at launch but through ongoing qualifying life events and new hires.

🎀 The ROI of LOL: Using Humor @ Work

What if one of the most powerful leadership tools is something we don't talk about enough... humor?

Participants will walk away with practical techniques they can apply immediately to leadership conversations, team interactions, and everyday workplace moments.

It's time to stop carrying everyone else for a minute and start checking in with YOU.

IndySHRM is bringing in Lydia Clark, Founder & CEO of Integrity Benefit Partners, for a session made for HR pros running on empty: "Has Anyone Checked on HR Lately? Because We Are NOT Okay!"

Lydia will walk attendees through wellbeing assessments, help them identify their core strengths, and explore career paths that actually fit who they are, not just what the job demands.

Lydia brings 20+ years of experience as an employee benefits strategist and a Master's in Positive Psychology from Indiana Wesleyan University to a session built around burnout, personal agency, and career reinvention for HR professionals. Expect real assessments, real strengths work, and real talk about what a sustainable HR career actually looks like.
