Newport Beach, Calif./June 16, 2011 — Secova Inc., a leading provider of Health and Welfare Benefits administration services, will offer solutions to the challenges HR leaders face in the upcoming webinar, “Cost Control and Beyond: The Benefits Administration Challenge.”

The webinar, to be held Wednesday, June 22 from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PST, will discuss the difficulties benefits administrators and HR professionals face as they manage and adhere to complex compliance regulations and rapidly shifting benefits programs—particularly in light of health care reform. This can be a daunting task for organizations that are also trying to reduce benefits administration maintenance costs.

Webinar attendees will walk away with an understanding of:
– Top benefits administration concerns for employers today, beyond cost control, including compliance with the Health Care Reform Act
