Employee Benefits for Domestic Partners
March 19, 2021
Employee Benefits for Domestic Partners
March 19, 2021 | 10:00 AM AKST
Description:
The employer offering of domestic partner benefits has become more common over the last decade, with recent studies indicating that as many as 47% of all employers offering health benefits are offering coverage to unmarried domestic partners. While employers retain a wide level of discretion over the details of their health plans, the decision to extend coverage to domestic partners raises several critical issues, including design choices, nuances in group health plan regulations, carrier limitations, and compliance with state and federal tax rules. This webinar will equip employers with the necessary information to successfully administer benefits for domestic partners.

Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less
By Tonya Mott, Vice President of Operations
My colleague recently turned me onto the book, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeown: https://gregmckeown.com/book/
I was hooked after reading these two questions:
-
- Is your time being hijacked by other people’s agendas?
- Are you busy but not productive?
YES, the answer is, YES!!
After I finished the book I decided it was time to live by design, not by default.
I immediately made the following changes:
- Created distraction-free space to focus only on the essential projects and tasks.
- Tuesdays and Thursdays are distraction free days and are only for focusing on essential work.
- Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are free-for-all days, bring on the chaos and distractions!
- Determine what is essential. I made a list of essential tasks and projects using the project management tool, monday.com.
- Cleaned up Outlook inbox (Outlook is not a project management tool) – Took action on 150+ emails that has clogged my inbox on a daily basis using these categories:
- No action needed > Filed or deleted email
- Needs follow up > Set a reminder to Outlook tasks and filed email
- Project > Moved to Monday.com board and scheduled time on my calendar to complete then filed email.
- Communicated the plan to my colleagues – Let them know if they have an urgent matter on Tuesdays and Thursdays to text me and I’m be happy to help.
The way of the Essentialist isn’t about getting more done in less time, it’s about getting the RIGHT THINGS done. It’s a discipline not a time management tool or productivity technique.
Since implementing this new discipline my inbox has been at zero by the end of every work day for the past 5 weeks. For the first time in a long time I feel like I’m getting meaning full work done and I’m available to help my team without feeling stressed.
A pic of my inbox as proof that it seems to be working:
