VRS Training Academy Eases Benefit Administration
Is it time for additional training on the basics or the fine points of VRS benefits administration? Use your current experience level and position to guide course selection. You may be new to your role or you may have been in your position for a few years. You may help employees with benefits questions every day, or you may deal solely with payroll topics. Or, maybe you need to know a little bit about everything!
To pinpoint the training that’s right for you, the VRS Training Academy offers three educational series: Overview, Benefits, and Technical. Each learning series focuses on principal points and takeaways to help employers process benefits and counsel employees on time-sensitive decisions related to retirement benefits.
