Biro will be speaking at the BENEFITFOCUS® One Place 2016 conference, March 8–10 in Orlando, Florida. The One Place conference brings together benefits professionals and thought leaders from all corners of the country to discuss and shape the future of benefits management.

As Founder and CEO of TalentCulture, Meghan M. Biro has worked with companies of all stages, from startups to global institutions like Microsoft, IBM and Google, to help them recruit and empower high-level talent. In addition, Biro curates an online community of HR and business professionals, offering insight, expert advice, professional support and networking opportunities.

Named among the “Top 100 Business, Leadership & Tech Twitter Accounts You Must Follow” by Huffington Post, one of the “Top 25 Trendsetters in HR” by HR Examiner and “Top 25 Women To Follow On Twitter For Your Job Search” by CEOWorld, Biro’s thought leadership on recruiting, talent management and social media in the workplace informs and educates professionals worldwide. Her weekly Twitter Chat and podcast, #WorkTrends, engages her followers in an ongoing discussion on HR, benefits and business best practices.

Meghan M. Biro brings to the BENEFITFOCUS® One Place 2016 lineup her unique style and take on engagement that is sure to provide practical insights for benefits professionals seeking to communicate with their workforce in new and innovative ways. From Baby Boomers to Millennials, benefits professionals must know how to personalize communication efforts and engage employees from all generations. Ever-shifting Affordable Care Act (ACA) regulations and changes, as well relatively new low-cost, consumer-driven health care plans, such as HDHPs, make communication vital to maintaining a healthy, productive workforce.

“If you want to build and retain the very best workforce possible, you must know how to engage them. And there are few professionals in the benefits industry—or any other industry for that matter—as versed and experienced in talent management as Meghan M. Biro,” said Benefitfocus CEO Shawn Jenkins. “We are thrilled to bring her expertise and perspective to the entire Benefitfocus community.”
